You are free to decide whether you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.
You can’t rely on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early in my marriage. I realized that I couldn’t depend on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on myself and not my husband’s actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within. So how do you choose happiness? The same way, you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain suit. You choose it because that’s what you want to experience in your life. You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn’t buy a pair of shoes that you don’t like or that doesn’t fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don’t make us feel good?
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions — we are giving them power over us.
We need to keep our feelings in check and not to react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.
Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t dwell on（细想） what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy. 4. What’s the best title of this passage? A. Pretend to Be Happy
B. Choose Your Emotions C. Choose to Be Happy
D. Find Happiness
5. The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is . A. people can’t depend on others to make themselves happy B. balancing the relationship between husband and wife is an art C. she can depend on her husband to find happiness D. happiness can be influenced by outside force 6. Why did the writer mention buying shoes? A. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes. B. To help move to the next paragraph easily. C. To compare choosing shoes and choosing a suit. D. To use it as an example to throw light on her point of view. 7. The writer suggests that we should . A. let others control our feelings
B. control our feelings properly C. respond immediately to others’ words
D. pay more attention to words than actions
C
Teaching someone to drive can be very nerve-racking. The experience of offering instruction from the passenger seat while a new driver is driving is not good for your peace of mind, especially when the student's first language is not English.
My good friend Prakash is from southern India. He grew up speaking Telugu, a language that, until I

met him, was unknown to me. Prakash is self-conscious about his English, even though I think he speaks it quite well, with a pleasing Indian accent.
Under the pressure of driving instruction, however, his response sometimes abandons him---especially when it comes to the difference between \

D
I felt proud a decade ago, when my older daughter, who had learned a breathing technique to help her calm down, taught it to her fifth-grade classmates. As it has been known for thousands of years, deep breathing can help reduce anxiety while improving focus and energy.
Sounds simple, right? But the truth is that many people don’t know how to do deep breathing. So it’s a good thing that there’s an app that teaches this technique.
·3·
It’s called Breathe2Relax, and it comes from the Department of Defense(国防部) — which explains the militaristic (军国主义的) but sometimes frightening-looking avatar (虚拟化身) in its video, which I think is not appropriate. The National Center for Telehealth & Technology, T2 for short, develops research-backed, technologically based treatments for mental health issues.
Creating apps to help improve service members’ mental health makes sense, says psychologist Julie Kinn. First, employing a technology that service members are already carrying around and can use easily and privately helps overcome the greatest barriers to obtaining psychological treatment. Plus, it’s cost-effective. One app can reach hundreds of thousands of people, military and civilian (平民). Breathe2Relax has been downloaded more than 500, 000 times, for free. From the home screen, users can watch a video teaching the basics of deep breathing. Then they can set up the app to conduct the exercises; selecting preferences, which include how many seconds each breath should be, is easy. And there’s a section to learn more about the biology of stress and how deep breathing helps.
Breathe2Relax is not the only hit from T2; the Mood Tracker has been downloaded nearly 200,000 times. And development continues: One of T2’s latest projects is an app that will use proven treatments to reduce nightmares .
Let’s just hope it features a different avatar. 12. The author writes Paragraph 1 to _____.
A. show the importance of deep breathing B. share one of his parental experiences C. bring up the topic of the text D. miss her older daughter
13. The author probably thinks that the avatar in Breathe2Relax’s video _____.
A. doesn’t look very attractive B. should be updated regularly
C. is not the same as other apps’ avatars D. should be made according to users’ wishes 14. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The developing process of Breathe2Relax. B. The procedure for using Breathe2Relax. C. The advantages of Breathe2Relax. D. The popularity of Breathe2Relax.
15. In which part of a magazine can we read the text?
A. Technology. B. Lifestyle. C. Military. D. Education.

How to Make Friends
It can be difficult to make friends living in a big city, especially when you don’t know many people. However, over years of experience and studying social skills, I have discovered that it’s possible to make friends without even trying. 16
1. Be seen without trying to get attention.
You don’t have to say anything interesting to get people’s attention. 17 This can be done anywhere you go, such as the supermarket or your yoga studio.
·4·
2. 18 There’s an interesting phenomenon that occurs when you listen to other people. They will keep talking. Just keep giving them good eye contact and show with your body language that you care. Listening is an instant way to build trust and likeability.
3. Think about what you can give to the other people.
We often think about what we can get from others when we try to make friends. 19 Try offering a piece of helpful advice or invite someone you just met to grab coffee or lunch with you the following week.
4. Always have some good stories to tell other people.
When you have at least a few stories to share with others, you’ll never run out of things to talk about. Try to be honest to share your stories with others. 20
5. Smile like there’s no tomorrow.
It may not be natural for some of us to smile, but a smile is one of the most attractive things that someone can display when they’re meeting new people.
A. However, that thinking needs to be changed.
B. All you have to do is place yourself in environments where people will see you. C. Don’t ever stop thinking about how you can add value to yourself.
D. There are just a few strategies that you have to use on a consistent basis. E. Try to be involved in conversation. F. Use the power of listening.
G. For example, you can share a story about a struggle or challenge. 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

Occasionally people may use a word “scared-cat”, but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood- stream.
Though the cat doesn’t 21 this, its body is getting ready for action.
If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will 22 itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.
23, when people are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies also go through many 24 changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves 25 run.
Human beings, 26, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them 27 , we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then 28 later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always 29 to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean it’s smarter always to 30 our feelings? No! If you31 feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays 32. Physical illnesses can develop. It can actually be 33 to your health. ·5·
