26、   For many, it is a journey that you will never give up, and the more you put in, the more you get out. While this kind of attitude may work for some, the latest scientific research suggests that it can also go wrong for many people.

Mauss has shown that seeking happiness can also increase feelings of loneliness and disconnection, perhaps because it causes you to focus your attention on yourself and your own feelings rather than appreciating the people around you. "Self-focus might make me engage with other people less，and I might judge other people more negatively if I think they ‘mess' with my happiness，”Mauss added.

These effects don't end there. Maglio at the University of，Toronto found another way that the conscious happiness-seeking may have the opposite effect: By leading us to feel that time is slipping away. Happiness comes from something pleasant that I can enjoy right now，to something burdensome（难以承担的）that I have to keep working at over and over and over，" Maglio says.

“If you are constantly reminded of your friend enjoying at this beautiful location or at that delicious dinner，I think that might serve as a reminder that other people are happier than you-and kick-start（强力启动）that goal of happiness again. "

Mauss，meanwhile，points out that a lot of research has found that people who take a more “accepting” altitude to bad feelings-rather than constantly trying to fight them as the enemy--actually end up more satisfied with their life over the long-term. When you are trying to be happy，you may become judgmental and disapproving of bad things in your life. . . "For these reasons，she advises people to have a more stoic（苦修的）attitude to life's ups and downs，in which you accept bad feelings as events which last only a short time rather than trying to remove them entirely.

Happiness really is like a shy animal. And once you stop chasing it，you might just find that it appears naturally of its own accord.

29、No one can believe that the over 6 300-kilometer long Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.

The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2 000 years. It began in the rule of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty(221 BC～206 BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.

Few local people knew the 3-meter-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.

The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corral(畜栏) and pigsties(猪圈). Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people’s names are put away as remembrance. Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛). The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base.

It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation’s great civilization(文明)and learn to love it.

【1】The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called“great”is_________.

A. it is made by brick   B. It is very wide

C. it is very long   D. it has a long

【2】Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear

A. It is useless from now on.

B. It will be replaced by a new one.

C. Some parts of it are being destroyed.

D. It’s too old to be used again.

【3】The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes” refers to the parts of the Great Wall________.

A. that are too difficult to understand

B. nobody can watch

C. that are too far to been seen

D. that are not well known to the public

【4】What’s the main reason of the Great Wall’s being destroyed

A. The local people are short of culture knowledge.

B. The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.

C. The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.

D. The local people are against the government.
