Question

【題目】There are two types of people in the world. Although they have an equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, while the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons and events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

People who are happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. They enjoy all cheerful things. Those who are unhappy think and speak only of unpleasant things. Through their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind is found in nature, such unhappy people should be pitied. The intention of criticizing 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 can be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects.

Although this attitude is mainly an act of the imagination, it has serious results since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. If such people aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone speak a word in favor of their hopes. If they are criticized, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in criticizing their wrong doings. So they should change this bad habit and stop worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, they will have a disagreeable time, especially when someone becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

試題分析：短文大意：文章講述了一個人看待事物的方法決定了他是否快樂。如果他看到是事物好的一方面，他就會很開心，如果他總是看到事物不好的一方面他就會很偏激，這樣的情況持續(xù)下去，他就會養(yǎng)成一些不好的習(xí)慣，最后會傷害別人。教育我們要改掉這樣一些不好的習(xí)慣。

【1】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的描述可知作者是根據(jù)他們對同一事物的看法來區(qū)分快樂與不快樂的，所以選C。

【2】B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本句By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere橫線后面的offend (hurt) many people傷害別人，說明該詞應(yīng)該指讓別人不開心了。所以選B。

【3】C推斷判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩行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. 說明如果人們意識到這個問題的不好的影響，這些問題就有可能被治愈。所以選C。

【4】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段提到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(接觸) with them.如果他不改變的話，大家少接觸他為好，所以選A。

【5】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)3,4行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(接觸) with them.說明作者建議那些不開心的人要改變這樣的不好的習(xí)慣對于那些開心的事情感覺很開心，不要輕易擔(dān)心那些不要擔(dān)心的事情。所以選C。
