1- We’ve been hitAdam Mayblum 过去很享受看着暴风雨抽打他办公室窗户的场景：你认为这就是权力吗？Mayblum 可能会讥笑。
我在世界贸易中心的87楼。
这就是权力。
百叶窗上的拉绳看起来像在轻轻地摇晃，但它只是一种假象。
虽然它是在距离地面1,040 英尺的高空中，但是世贸中心还是相当稳固的。
在9 月的那个早上，当Mayblum感觉到毁灭性的隆隆声时，他瞥了一眼拉绳。
他们被疯狂坠入 3 英尺的任一方向。
那天早上，有数千人将被卷入一场惊心动魄的灾难，Mayblum也是其中的一员。
尽管多达25,000人找到了他们安全逃生的方式，但另外的5,000 人却没有逃脱得了这场灾难。
对于有些人来说，生死攸关的是此时此刻他们所在的地理位置---不仅是哪幢楼，哪一层，更重要的是在大楼的哪个角落。
对于有些人来说，选择使用哪一个楼梯是最基本的。
其他人所面对的则是终极的道德困境：拯救自己，还是拯救他人。
在名为戴维斯的金融服务公司里，Adam Mayblum 办公室内的混乱持续了几秒钟。
他知道他需要逃离那里。
他把T恤撕成碎片，浸泡在水中，并分发给同事，用来捂住他们的脸。
其中：有一个是戴维斯的首席交易员---哈里·拉莫斯。
Mayblum 曾与拉莫斯断断续续一起工作了14 年之久。
当他在楼梯上急速奔跑时，火花溅在了他的脚踝上。
当他冲下一段楼梯之后，他才意识到他的贸易伙伴，朱红还落在后面。
他又跑上楼，此时这个地方充满了烟和燃烧的喷气燃料。
看不到朱红的影子。
Mayblum又冲下楼梯，成功到达了78 楼，这里恰好是有一部电梯和一个楼梯的中转大厅。
他看到了一个令人放心的景象，拉莫斯已经淌进混乱的场面中，协助恐慌的工人转到安全的楼梯间。
Mayblum继续往下跑，他小腿的肌肉因抽筋而收缩。
在53层。
他碰见了一个身材粗壮的男人，他的腿无法移动了。
“你想自己过来，还是你想要我们来帮助你？”Mayblum大声喊道。

But to their surprise, many people find that enduring such a harrowing ordeal ultimately changes them for the better.Their refrain might go something like this: "I wish it hadn't happened, but I'm a better person for it."1飓风、房屋失火、癌症、激流漂筏失事、坠机、昏暗小巷遭歹徒袭击，没人想找上这些事儿。
但出人意料的是，很多人发现遭受这样一次痛苦的磨难最终会使他们向好的方面转变。
他们可能都会这样说:“我希望这事没发生，但因为它我变得更完美了。
”2 We love to hear the stories of people who have been transformed by their tribulations, perhaps because they testify to a bona fide type of psychological truth, one that sometimes gets lost amid endless reports of disaster: There seems to be a built-in human capacity to flourish under the most difficult circumstances. Positive responses to profoundly disturbing experiences are not limited to the toughest or the bravest.In fact, roughly half the people who struggle with adversity say that their lives subsequently in some ways improved.2我们都爱听人们经历苦难后发生转变的故事，可能是因为这些故事证实了一条真正的心理学上的真理，这条真理有时会湮没在无数关于灾难的报道中:在最困难的境况中，人所具有的一种内在的奋发向上的能力会进发出来。

Unit 1 The Pursuit of Happiness追求幸福Background Information背景信息What is happiness?什么是幸福？Philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this sense was used to translate the Greek Eudemonia, and is still used in virtue ethics. There has been a transition over time from emphasis on the happiness of virtue to the virtue of happiness.A widely discussed political value expressed in the United States Declaration of Inde pendence of 1776, written by Thomas Jefferson, is the universal right to “the pursuit of happiness.”Happiness is a fuzzy concept and can mean many different things to many people. Part of the challenge of a science of happiness is to identify different concepts of happiness, and where applicable, split them into their components. Related concepts are well-being, quality of life and flourishing. At least one author defines happiness as contentment. Some commentators focus on the difference between the hedonistic tradition of seeking pleasant and avoiding unpleasant experiences, and the eudemonic tradition of living life in a full and deeply satisfying way.The 2012 World Happiness Report stated that in subjective well-being measures, the primary distinction is between cognitive life evaluations and emotional reports. Happiness is used in both life evaluation, as in “How happy are you with your life as a whole?”, and in emotional reports, as in “How happy are you now?”, and people seem able to use happiness as appropriate in these verbal contexts. Using these measures, the World Happiness Report identifies the countries with the highest levels of happiness.How to achieve happiness?If you’re happy it makes life better and you have better rela tionships with people; it changes your outlook on life. Here are some tips for you:Be optimistic. Be hopeful, cheerful and positive about something each day. Push asidenegative thoughts or feelings and focus on something that makes you smile. Always look on the bright side and never give up hope in what you believe in.Smile. Smiling will make you feel better and look better, instantly. Notice how much easier it is to breathe when you smile. Studies have shown that simply smiling boosts your immune system. Smiling creates unity and a glance of a smile automatically softens the heart.Listen to your favorite music. Music can cheer you up, help you relax and relieve stress. It can also inspire and motivate you when you’re feeling low, or frustrated.Stay close to uplifting friends and family. Spending time with positive, uplifting people will make you feel happy and remind you how much you are loved and adored.Be happy with yourself. Never change who you are for anybody; discover what you like and dislike, what you believe in and what issues are of little importance to you to discover who you really are, then be proud to be you and let it show. If people don’t like you the way you are, brush it off and embrace yourself. You are unique and special, enjoy the wonderful things that make you stand out from the crowd.Active Listening & Speaking IScriptWhat Is Happiness?In the last 6 months, more than 1,000 books have been published about it. Universities around the world are teaching on it. For 30 years, scientists have been studying it. Governments are appointing cabinet positions to oversee it. The United Nations named an official day after it. Google analytics prove people are searching for it. In fact, it’s one of humanity’s oldest pursuits. HAPPINESS.We’re wealthier, more educated and live longer than any previous generation. And as a nation, the US is one of the wealthiest, most powerful and technologically advanced. And in the most recent World Happiness Report, the United States ranked 17th. And during the Great Depression, when there was little to be happy about, we were actually 18% less depressed than we are now.We have been taught that hard work equals success which equals happiness. Right? Ha, wrong! Research proves happiness is actually a precursor to success, not the other way around. Did you know? Neuroscience proves that we are hard-wired to perform in our best when we are happy. Study show that happy, positive, optimistic people earn higher incomes; set and achieve more aggressive goals; experience less stress; remain calm in high-pressure situations; are more energetic; recover from illness faster and live longer. Happiness is serious business. When we engage in positive real-life relationships, our bodies release chemicals that actually help reduce anxiety and increase concentration and focus. How you feel and your attitude toward life all stem from your thoughts, actions and where you focus your time and energy.Yet we are constantly surrounded by negativity. If we want things to change, we have tocreate the change and we start by choosing positivity and happiness. Just imagine the possibilities if there were more happy and positive people in this world. A world with more peace, optimism and compassion is possible like a pebble thrown into a pond. It only takes one to create the ripple of happiness. Happiness is so contagious and infectious that one positive person can spread happiness to more than 1,000 people. That means all it takes to create change on a local, regional, state, country, global scale, is one person. And research shows that just by spreading happiness, you actually become happier. You can choose happiness and choose to share it. You can be the catalyst to spread it directly and indirectly.Are you that one? It starts with you, yet it’s bigger than you. Happiness is bold. It is courageous, audacious and challenging. You have the power to choose happiness and to spread it. Join the movement, share the movement. Be the one who makes the difference and live happy.Active Listening & Speaking IIScripts:Gross National HappinessThis is the fourth Dragon King of Bhutan, a beautiful country at the eastern end of the Himalayas. He became king at the age of 17 in 1972. It was then when he had to decide what should be the philosophy behind his reign.He looked at other countries and noticed in most of them, the government and the people strive for economical wealth. And those few who achieve this goal usually live a comfortable life. But on the downside, many other people live in misery, poverty or social isolation. Also in the ruthless hunt for money, huge parts of the environment are often destroyed. This couldn’t be the right path for Bhutan.The concept of Gross National Happiness was born. The primary idea of GNH is that every human being aspires for happiness and the country’s development should also be measured in its citizens’ happiness. The fourth Dragon King’s challenge therefore was figuring out how to balance economic development with the emotional and spiritual well-being of his people. Although economic growth can’t be the only goal, a flourishing economy gives the government the funds needed to provide a working, health and educational system, as well as certain living standards. Because being healthy, having opportunities for the future and knowing that security, a steady income, housing or well-balanced time use are guaranteed is crucial for people to be happy. But furthermore, people get a lot of positive energy from being with others and sharing interests. Participating in cultural life and to hold up local traditions and cultural heritage lead to a strongercommunity feeling. Healthy family relationships, advocating community activities and religious aspects are factors for achieving happiness. It gives the Bhutanese people a strong sense of values and identity.The 4th Dragon King reigned 34 years basing his decisions on all factors of Gross National Happiness, asking himself, “what makes Bhutan’s people happy?” And the 4th Dragon King lived by example, leading a very simple life. In fact, he believed so strongly in the concept of GNH, he even decided to hand over sovereignty to the people. In 2006, he retired as King at the age of 52 and changed the course of history. Two years later, in 2008, Bhutan elected its first representative parliament. Since then, the idea of Gross National Happiness has taken quite some momentum outside of Bhutan, with other countries and people around the world thinking about adopting the GNH approach to strive for development with values and to make the world a happier place.Supplementary Listening & SpeakingII.

Unit SixHappinessThe TextIntroductionWhat is happiness? What makes us happy? Can money really buy happiness? For centuries philosophers and social scientists have pondered these questions. There are so many different definitions for happiness. It seems that the most acceptable one is that happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure or joy.Research has identified a number of attributes that correlate with happiness: relationships and social interaction, extraversion, marital status, employment, health, income and proximity to other happy people.In this article, the author discusses how people can feel happy by living a rich live although they are economically not as well-off as millionaires or billionaires. Some research results are given to tell people that money is not the decisive factor to lead a happy life. True and lasting happiness is to live a life rich in value, meaning and purpose. And being happy and living rich are experiences you can start to cultivate any time no matter how much or how little money you are already making.Language Points1.＊fascinate v.

正如它发给我们狩猎证，却不给我们提供猎物。
乔纳森•斯威福特似乎持此观点，他抨击幸福的想法是“鬼迷心窍的上当，”是“骗子堆中的傻瓜”的自鸣得意。
因为他视社会为虚妄目标聚集的名利场。
It is, of course, un-American to think in terms of fools and knaves. We do, however, seem to be dedicated to the idea of buying our way to happiness. We shall all have made it to Heaven when we possess enough.当然用傻子、骗子这样的字眼来形容是不合美国的人的风俗习惯的，然后我们似乎确实沉溺于用金钱购买幸福的想法：只要有足够的钱，我们百年后就能上天堂。
And at the same time the forces of American commercialism are hugely dedicated to making us deliberately unhappy. Advertising is one of our major industries, and advertising exists not to satisfy desires but to create them —and to create them faster than any man’s budget can satisfy them. For that matter, our whole economy is based on a dedicated insatiability. We are taught that to possess is to be happy, and then we are made to want. We are even told it is our duty to want. It was only a few years ago, to cite a single example, that car dealers across the country were flying banners that read "You Auto Buy Now." They were calling upon Americans, as an act approaching patriotism, to buy at once, with money they did not have, automobiles they did not really need, and which they would be required to grow tired of by the time the next year’s models were released.同时，美国的商业主义却又殚精竟虑故意使我们得不到幸福。
广告是我们的支柱产业之一，其存在不是为了满足欲望。
而是为了制造欲望——其制造速度之快，使我们的腰包应接不暇。
就此而言，我们的整个经济是基于一种无法自拔的贪求无厌。
我们受到的教育是“占有却为幸福”，然后我们就被迫产生贪欲。
我们甚至被告知欲望是我们的义务。
引用一个简单的例子为证：仅仅几年前，全国的汽车销售商还打着“你应该立即购买汽车”的横幅。
他们号召美国人民：作为一种爱国主义行为，他们应该立即按揭购买他们并不真正需要的汽车，并且在次年新款汽车发布后他们会对原来这些汽车心生厌倦。
Or look at any of the women’s magazines. There, as Bernard De V oto once pointed out, advertising begins as poetry in the front pages and ends as pharmacopoeia and therapy in the back pages. The poetry of the front matter is the dream of perfect beauty. This is the baby skin that must be hers. These, the flawless teeth. This, the perfumed breath she must exhale. This, thesixteen-year-old figure she must display at forty, at fifty, at sixty, and forever.或者任意浏览一本女性杂志。
正如伯尔纳德•德•渥托曾经指出的那样，这些杂志开头几页的广告诗情画意，而最后则以类似药典和治疗手册结尾。
前者是完美美女的梦想：这该是她婴儿般的股肤，这些是她无瑕的牙齿，这该是她呼出的香气，这该是她能保持到40、50、60 岁甚至永远的16 岁少女般的身材。
Once past the vaguely uplifting fiction and feature articles, the reader finds the other face of the dream in the back matter. This is the harness into which Mother must strap herself in order to display that perfect figure. These, the chin straps she must sleep in. This is the salve that restores all, this is her laxative, these are the tablets that melt away fat, these are the hormones of perpetual youth, these are the stockings that hide varicose veins.一旦读完这些隐约让人振奋的小说和专题文章，读者在杂志最后几页就会发现梦想的真相：这是家庭主妇必须得系上的背带，以展现其完美身材。
这些是她睡觉时必须带上的颚带。
这是可以恢复青春的药剂和装备，这是她减肥用的缓泻药，这些是消化脂肪的药片，这些是使外表年轻的荷尔蒙，这些是掩盖静脉曲张的长袜。
Obviously no half-sane person can be completely persuaded either by such poetry or by such pharmacopoeia and orthopedics. Yet someone is obviously trying to buy the dream as offered and spending billions every year in the attempt. Clearly the happiness-market is not running out of customers, but what are they trying to buy?显而易见，即使心智不健全的人也不会完全相信这些诗境或是这些药典和矫正术。
然后有人显然正在竭力购买这些广告所兜的美梦，并为此每年耗资数十亿美元。
这种幸福市场无疑不会无人问津，但他们购买的究竟是什么呢？The idea "happiness," to be sure, will not sit still for easy definitions: the best one can do is to try to set some extremes to the idea and then work in toward the middle. To think of happiness as acquisitive and competitive will do to set the materialistic extreme. To think of it as the idea one senses in, say, a holy man of India will do to set the spiritual extreme. That holy man’s ideal of happiness is in needing nothing from outside himself. In wanting nothing, he lacks nothing. He sits immobile, rapt in contemplation, free even of his own body.7 Or nearly free of it. If devout admirers bring him food, he eats it; if not, he starves indifferently. Why be concerned? What is physical is an illusion to him. Contemplation is his joy and he achieves it through a fantastically demanding discipline, the accomplishment of which is itself a joy within him.诚然，给“幸福”这一概念下定义远非易事：最好是尽量为这一概念确立一些极限，然后将两者折中。
