22、People are divided into two groups in the world. Though each of them has equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
【1】People who are unhappy _______.
A. always consider things differently from others
B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
【2】The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy
C. tend to please others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
【3】We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
【4】If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
【5】In this passage, the writer mainly _______.
A. describes two types of people
B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests the unhappy people get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D. tells people how to be happy in life
23、How to deal with negativity
It can sometimes feel like we’re surrounded by negative people and opinions. Whether it is on social media the people we meet or in political discourse, things can often seem overwhelming and depressing. 【1】.
But is there a more constructive, compassionate way of dealing with these kinds of people? Here are a few suggestions.
Don’t be a receiver, and always be honest. First, when it comes to dealing with negative people, it’s essential that you make it very clear what you are prepared to put up with. 【2】 No one has the right to force themselves on your life to that extent, so make sure they understand that. 【3】. It’s always important to be honest with people when their negativity is unfounded or seems habitual.
【4】 Why is the negative person you’re dealing with so negative? It’s almost certain that whatever it is they are feeling, you will have also felt it yourself too, at one time or another. Compassion should be a practice, in the sense of something done regularly. But I know it’s not always easy either — being compassionate with difficult people is also a skill that needs to be practiced for us to get better at it.
Open your heart to them. When we approach other people from a position of love or caring interest, it is surprising how often they then respond to us in the same way. Someone who is going through a hard time, or who has become habitually negative in their outlook, still has the capacity to show love and care for others. 【5】 It is always the best foundation to build a more positive relationship on, if you can.
A. Practice sympathy.
B. Don’t be judgmental.
C. So make sure that this is the ground you meet them on.
D. And we all know that dealing with negativity can be exhausting too.
E. Equally don’t just try to cover them with positivity either.
F. So ignore them and move on with our lives despite them.
G. Never allow yourself to simply take everything in.
24、The traditional British pub is part of the scenery of British life. At a recent count, there are around 50000 of them in the UK, some of which date back to as far as the 5th and 6th centuries. The oldest---Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans---was established in 795.
Because of their abundance, the names pubs take were designed to be memorable---but more than that, they were designed to be visual. Outside any traditional pub worthy of its title, you’ll find a hanging signboard with a unique illustration(插图)that represents the name of the business. The practice is so well established that even new pubs copy it. But why do they exist at all?
The first British pub signs were created in the 12th century and were simple representations of beer containers and other brewing-related equipment used to inform passersby that establishments sold beer. This was Britain in the dark ages, when education was in short supply. Since most of the population were unable to read, pub signs were used to inform would-be customers that they could find a drink inside.
The earliest uses of pub names would reference the sign directly. People would arrange to meet “at the sign of the Eagle and Child” rather than “at the Eagle and Child.”
Today the tradition remains unchanged largely out of respect for the past, but many pub signs do have some functionality. Remote country pubs often use signboards to point the way to their doors from more trafficked(可贩卖的)paths. It’s a part of British culture that’s rapidly disappearing---more than 20,000 pubs have closed since 1980—but for now there are still more than enough around that you can take a moment to appreciate the history and symbolism behind a pub’s sign the next time you see one.
【1】What is special about British pub signs?
A. They copy famous art B. They show British life
C. They have unique pictures D. They include the history of the pub
【2】The first British pub signs were mainly used to ____.
A. inspire passersby B. inform passersby
C. educate passersby D. entertain passersby
【3】Modern British pub signs are different from the earliest ones in ___________.
A. size B. style
C. material D. purpose
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A. The history of British pubs
B. The importance of British pub signs
C. Why British pubs have illustrated signs
D. Why British pubs are unpopular nowadays
