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（铺瓦的）ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 36 .

Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room 37 I see is hair.” Once you’ve 38 what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 39 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 40 , or forget about it and 41 the tiles in your life that are not missing.

We all know people who have a relatively 42 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 43 remain happy.

The first 44 is gratitude. All happy people are 45 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 46 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.

The second secret is 47 that happiness is a byproduct of something else. The most obvious 48 are those pursuit that give our lives purpose — anything 49 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 50 to experience.

Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 51 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 52 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should 53 this truth: if you choose to find the 54 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 55 your decision to make.

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Pacing and Pausing

Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say.

The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.

Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished. That's what was happening with Betty and Sara.
