11．Happiness is a journey
We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married，have a baby，than another．Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are．After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with．We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage．
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse （配偶） gets his or her act together．When we get a nice car，and are able to go on a nice vacation when we retire．The truth is，there's no better time than right now．If not now，when？Our life will always be filled with challenges．It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway．
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza．He said，"for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin a real life．But there was always some obstacle in the way，something to be gotten through first，some unfinished business，time still to be served，a debt to be paid．Then life would begin．At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life．"
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness．Happiness is the way．So treasure every moment that you have．
And remember that time waits for no one．So stop waiting until you finish school，until you go back to school； until you get married，until you get divorced； until you have kids； until you retire； until you get a new car or home； until spring； until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
Happiness is a journey，not a destination．So，work like you don't need money，love like you've never been hurt，and dance like no one's watching．

解答 答案：
32．A 內(nèi)容歸納題 通讀第三段可知，本段主要描述了在現(xiàn)實生活中，所存在的一些障礙或困難（如"something to be gotten through first，some unfinished business，time still to be served，a debt to be paid．但是，總會有一些障礙擋住去路，一些必須先完成的事情，一些未完成的工作，一些要付出的時間或一些要償還的債務．"）；并根據(jù)第二段中"Our life will always be filled with challenges．"可知，作者認為：我們的生活會一直充滿著挑戰(zhàn)；故可推測出作者引用第三段是用來支持自己的觀點的；故選A．
33．D 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第二段中"Our life will always be filled with challenges．"以及"It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway．（最好讓自己接受這一事實，并且無論如何都要使自己快樂）"可知，此處的this指的是前一句中提到的：我們的生活中總會充滿著挑戰(zhàn)；故選D．
34．C 標題選擇題 通讀全文可知，最后一段為本文的中心段，它主要表達了作者對幸福的感悟，即：幸福是一次旅行，而不是終點；所以，工作吧，就像不需要金錢一樣；戀愛吧，就像未曾受過傷一樣；舞蹈吧，就像沒人欣賞一樣；故選C．
35．B 內(nèi)容歸納題 通讀第二段并根據(jù)本段中的"The truth is，there's no better time than right now．（事實上，沒有哪一刻會比現(xiàn)在更幸福）"可知，本段主要強調(diào)了我們應該過好當前的生活；故選B．
點評 做本題的關鍵在于對整篇文章的深入理解，弄清句與句之間以及句子與所在段落的關系；由于本文結構清晰，內(nèi)容明確，所以在做本題時，可以根據(jù)每一部分的中心意思或根據(jù)上下句的內(nèi)容，推測出空缺部分的意思；另外，還可以通過仔細閱讀備選項，排除與本文無關的選項或找到與相應段落意義相關的選項．
