Lets face it.That thinking our life is good enough doesnt come naturally to many people.When we have high expectations of everything in life we will run into disappointment.Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction.Here are a few ideas to help you be happier with what you have and who you are.Focus on what you are thankful for.Most people want things to be better than they are，or when things are going well，we forget to appreciate what we have.Learn to reflect on how much better things are than they could be.Focus on what you are thankful for.Write down 5 things you are grateful for right now.When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our wellbeing.Many people regret something they can no longer change，which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner.What happened in the past is done and gone，so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment.When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life we are likely to be less satisfied.Social comparisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others，but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position.Compare yourself less with others so you can be satisfied more.When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you.Learn to slow down and absorb the wonder and beauty around you.Stay present and focus on the task youre undertaking at the moment.Dont let the life pass you by because youre always on the go and distracted by ambition.Practice looking at life through the lens of contentment and it will become more natural.【文章大意】本文是一篇議論文。人們總是得到的越多就渴望更多，因此不能得到很多快樂；文章介紹了幾種可以讓我們更快樂的方法。1How can we live with contentment?ATo change our lifestyle.BTo have a motivation in life.CTo give less attention to what we are grateful for.DTo realize the difference between needs and desires.D解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第五句“Only when we are aware that needs are different from desires can we live with satisfaction.”可知，只有當(dāng)我們意識到需求和欲望的區(qū)別時，我們才能生活得很滿足。故選D。2Whats the main idea of Paragraph 3?AMake wise decisions. BKnow the present situation.CLet go of regrets. DRemember the past.C解析：段落大意題。通讀第三段可知，本段的主題句是第一句“When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made，it can really poison our wellbeing.”，由此并結(jié)合本段最后一句可知，本段主要介紹了后悔的消極影響，建議人們不要為已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情后悔。故C項正確。3The underlined word “elide”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “ ”Aenjoy Bchange Ccreate DneglectD解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第五段第一句“When you are focused on your big ambitions and future goals you might elide the daily pleasures that surround you.”可知，當(dāng)你專注于遠(yuǎn)大的抱負(fù)和未來的目標(biāo)時，你就會忽視身邊日常的快樂。根據(jù)該句中的“big ambitions and future goals”和“the daily pleasures that surround you”表達(dá)的語境可推知，elide的意思是“忽視”。故D項正確。A項意為“享受”；B項意為“改變”；C項意為“創(chuàng)造”，都與語境不符。4What should you do to put yourself in a good mood?AMake time for simple pleasures.BLearn from successful people.CFocus on your future goals.DCreate chance to learn more.A解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句中的“so work to stay present and be mindful of the current moment to find more joy and fulfillment”可知，要想心情好，就要活在當(dāng)下，善于發(fā)現(xiàn)周圍的樂趣，制造簡單的快樂。故A項正確。B(2016濰坊高三模擬)You are going along in a conversation with a friend，and it all seems to be good，but suddenly，you say something and the conversation stops entirely.And youre thinking “What happened？” You didnt say anything insulting(侮辱的) or mean，you just voiced your opinion.Or so you think.I had lunch the other day with a dear friend.I travel a lot for work，and she used to.I was complaining about the air travel.I said how I would love some day to get into the first class cabin where surely conditions were far better than the economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)艙)My friend said“You know what I used to do? Id buy my coach ticket，but then，at the last minute，right before boarding started，Id go up to the counter agent and ask if there were any first class seats still available.And often，theyd say yes！and Id only pay an extra $200 instead of $2，000 and get to fly first.”I immediately retorted with“Oh，that would never happen now.They jam the planes so full，theres never an available seat to be had.”And with that，the conversation endedat least that part of it.It was only later that it hit me I had unwisely said no to my friends experience of life.I had slammed(砰地關(guān)，使勁摔) my reality in her face，as if hers didnt matter.There are few things worse that we do to our friends than make them feel like they dont matter.We rarely mean to，yet we do it all the time.It would have been so easy for me to consider her experience in my response：“I never thought of that.I wonder if it would still work，given the general overcrowding.”I would not have thus denied either her experience or mine.And there would have been a continuing basis for conversation，had we wished to do so.Simply put，instead of listening competitively，we need to listen to learn.【文章大意】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者在與朋友談?wù)摮俗w機的經(jīng)歷時不經(jīng)意地否定了朋友的說法，使朋友非常難堪。通過這件事，作者認(rèn)識到在生活中我們應(yīng)該用學(xué)習(xí)的心態(tài)去傾聽。5The underlined part “coach ticket”in Paragraph 2 refers to a ticket for Athe platform Bthe long journey busCthe first class in the planeDthe economy class in the planeD解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段第四句“.get into the first class cabin where surely conditions were far better than the economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)艙)”和該段第六句“.ask if there were any first class seats still available.”可推知，“coach ticket”指飛機上的經(jīng)濟(jì)艙，即a ticket for the economy class in the plane。故選D項。6My friend ended the conversation because she thought AI lost faceBI misunderstood herCI overlooked her life DI voiced my opinionC解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“It was only later that it hit me I had unwisely said no to my friends experience of life.I had slammed(砰地關(guān)，使勁摔) my reality in her face，as if hers didnt matter.”可推知，朋友終止了這次談話，是因為她覺得“我”忽視了她的生活。故選C項。7The worst thing we do to our friends is Aact too politely toward them Bmake them feel unimportantCcompare their experiences with ours Dend a conversation all of a suddenB解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句“There are few things worse that we do to our friends than make them feel like they dont matter.”可知，我們對朋友所做的最壞的事情是使他們感到自己不重要。故選B項。8The main purpose of the text is to Aamuse us with a real storyBinform us of a recent discoveryCremind us to listen to learnDpersuade us to stop insulting othersC解析：寫作意圖題。根據(jù)最后一段“Simply put，instead of listening competitively，we need to listen to learn.”可知，這篇文章的主要目的是提醒我們要以學(xué)習(xí)的心態(tài)去傾聽。故選C項。.七選五(2016江西南昌模擬)Wise shopping is important for a low budget.The following tips will help you shop wiser.Make a shop list before you go shopping，make a list of everything you plan on buying.1.
