题文

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and selfrespect? The
collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item.If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake,
we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement.Later we might tell our family or friends about
ourgood fortune.On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be
grateful and thank us for our honesty.We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might
never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen.Deep down inside we
would know ourselves as a type of thief.In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and
selfrespect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by
telling our family and friends.We damage our own reputations by telling others.In contrast, bringing_the_
error_to_the_clerk's_attention causes different things to happen.Immediately the clerk knows us to be
honorable.Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our selfrespect is increased.Whenever we take
honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions.Honorable
thoughts lead to honorable actions.Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence.And it's easy to think
and act honorably again when we're happy.While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's
started, it's easy to continue.Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important
for our happiness.

日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
