ost of us believe that eotions coe fro what happens outside of ourselves. In fact, it’s not the outside events but what we do with those outside events in our ind that causes us to be happy or unhappy.
Obviously, if it was only the event that was creating our eotions, we all would have the sae reaction to any event or circustance. Actually, it’s the way we understand it, or ore correctly put the way we judge the event that atters. When we judge an event as positive to us, we have a positive eotion. If we judge the event to be soething negative, the eotion we generate is negative.
Our ability to judge how events will eventually work out has been proven scientifically to be at best 60% correct and in ost cases less than 30%. That eans we have only a 30 to 40 percent chance of being right in hoe judge soething. The truth is that we are very poorly equipped to judge the consequences of events accurately.
Every day soe people tell us that unfortunate events, disease or a lot of negative experiences were the best things that could have happened to the. Now of course soe of you ay say these people were optiistic and just retell the event to find a good way of looking at it. This way of looking at it is issing the point.
If judging things is what causes us to label the positive or negative and this in turn akes us happy or unhappy, then refusing to judge things as bad benefits us a lot.
Peace of ind and happiness can be achieved by siply accepting soething that is totally true. We can’t judge if soething is going to be good or bad for us in the future. If we are to be happy ost of the tie, we need to stop judging events oent to oent.

A. What creates our eotions. B. How to judge outside events.
C. What akes us feel unhappy.D. How to achieve peace of ind.
67. What akes us unhappy according to the text?
A. Terrible circustances.B. Daily life and experiences.
C. That we judge events as negative.D. That the event goes badly.
68. Which of the following is TRUE of people’s judgents?
A. They ake people happy. B. ost of the are not accurate.
C. They are negative in ost cases. D. Usually over 40% of the are right.
69. What does “the point” refer to in the fifth paragraph?
A. Negative experiences always turn out to be positive finally.
B. We should keep optiistic when soething bad happens.
C. Refusing to judge things as bad akes a great deal of sense.
D. The consequences of events have little to do with our judgents.
70. If we want to keep happy, we should ________.

Happiness is an eotion which is characterized by a feeling of absolute satisfaction. It is the feeling of being where you should be, getting what you want and needing little else.
It is easy to confuse happiness with pleasure. But the two aren’t one. Pleasure is intense and continues for a short tie. Happiness lasts longer. Pleasure can result fro any nuber of happy experiences. For exaple you get pleasure fro eating your favorite chocolate or reading a fantastic book. Take away the experience and pleasure ends. On the other hand, happiness is the aggregate of a nuber of experiences.
What akes a person happy? Different people get happiness in different ways. For soe, it coes fro having a good job or a satisfying relationship. For others, it could be the ability to deal with life’s challenges with calness. Whatever the source is, one thing is certain: happiness is an attitude. It is the way of thinking that enables you to interpret things in a positive way. It is that particular feeling that puts a sile on your face, for no apparent reason.
Happiness affects every aspect of a person’s life. Happier people are generally ore successful, ore productive and ore balanced. They are healthier and stronger physically as well as eotionally. A happier person has a longer life, collects ore friends and has greater chances of developing successful relationships with those around hi.
Happiness is the net result of any factors, of which 40% is within your control. Your thoughts, actions and goals, for exaple, are your own.

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the inforation given in the passage and the required words liit. Write your answers on your answer sheet. (10 points)
Suer is a busy period for holiday travel. any people travel great distances in airplanes. Experts say people should know about soe health probles that can strike when traveling by air. One of these is a lack of oxygen to the brain called hypoxia(缺氧症). The body begins losing oxygen inutes after an airplane takes off. The air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than that at sea level. This akes it ore difficult for the body to effectively use the sae aount of oxygen as it would，on the ground. Fewer oxygen olecules(分子) cross the tissues in the lungs and reach the bloodstrea. The result is a five to twenty percent decrease in the aount of oxygen in the blood. This reduces the aount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body.
One effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is headache. When this happens, the heart attepts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster. This can ake the passenger feel tired.
These signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person. But a drop in oxygen level can cause a health eergency in people with heart or lung probles. They ight lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack.
Experts say that soking cigarettes and drinking alcohol also reduce the body’s ability to use oxygen. So they suggest people should not drink alcohol or soke cigarettes either before or during a flight. They warn that people with heart or lung probles should seek advice fro their doctor before flying.
81. What causes hypoxia when we travel by air? (no ore than 7 words )

Dear classates,

I notice that soe of us spend ost of our tie doing our lessons, neglecting to take physical exercise. However, I think it is iportant to take regular exercise. For one thing, it can help us reain in good shape and stay away fro disease. For another thing, it can contribute to decrease of the pressure fro study, preventing depression.
Here are two tips for you: first of all, set aside soe tie for physical exercise every day. Nothing is ore iportant than good health. Second, try to exercise with your good friends so that you can have fun while working out.
Whatever we want to becoe in the future, we should keep fit right no So let’s ake it a rule to take physical exercise every day.
That’s all. Thank you!
