One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It's like looking at the tiled(鋪瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 1. .

Once I heard a bald(禿頭的) man said. “Whenever I enter a room,  2.  I see is hair." Once you've   3. what your missing tile is, explore whether getting it will   4.  make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different  5.  , or forget about it and  6.  the tiles in your life that are not missing.

We all know people who have had a relatively  7.  life, yet are often unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but  8.  remain happy.

The first  9.  is gratitude. All happy people are  10. . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to  11.  , but it's truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.

The second secret, is 12. that happiness is a byproduct(副產(chǎn)品) of something else. The most obvious 13. are those pursuits(追求) that give our lives purpose—anything 14. studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are  15. to experience.

Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our  16.  has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We   17. a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy, it should 18.  this truth: if you choose to find the 19. in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is  20.   your decision to make.

21.               A．different       B．missing         C．short D．broken

 

22.               A．nothing        B．none          C．a(chǎn)ll    D．a(chǎn)nything

24.               A．completely      B．naturally        C．hopefully  D．really

 

25.               A．tile            B．brick           C．ceiling D．house
