Happy and Successful Brains I’ve carefully examined happy and su ccessful people from all different professions—actors,scientists,comedians,musicians,etc.They share very similar philosophies.Here are some of the fundamental attitudes and beliefs that contribute to their happiness and success:♦__①__This is one of the m ost commonly recited mottos in selfimprovement.Individuals who see their mistakes and failures as a learning experience are much more prone to happiness and success.When we adopt the belief that “failure is a part of learning”,we become more resilient and courageous in the face of new challenges.Instead of avoiding situations where we may embarrass ourselves,we embrace these challenges in life,even when we know they can be risky and painful.When we do fail,we don’t see it as the end of the world,but a point to improve upon.♦__②__Many people are great at finding problems and being critical about their lives;however,they do this without ever suggesting a possible solution or alternative to their situation.They complain about this and that,but they never take an active role to actually improve these things.They focus on problems not to learn from them or fix them,but to make excuses for why their lives are miserable and unpleasant.I believe acknowledging problems in life is important.I don’t recommend tha t we ignore things in our life that disturb us or make us unhappy.However,it’s also important to think of ways we can actually respond to these problems and change our circumstances.Ruminating over problems in our life without a plan to take action is not only a waste of time,but it makes us even more sad and depressed.If you’re going to be critical about something in your life,focus on the ways you can actually make a difference.♦__③__Happy and successful people are incredibly grateful for their lives and everything they have:their relationships,their home,their job,their possessions,their talents,their achievements,etc.Although successful people are often thought of as always hungry and striving—always trying to improve things,achieve their goals,and make things better—this inner drive doesn’t take away from the fact they are very happy and content with their lives.Gratitude is an irreplaceable characteristic of true happiness and success.Even if we achieve great things in life,without gratitude we often find ourselves empty and discontent.Make sure you take the time to reflect on how lucky you are as a person (I believe everyone can find something to be grateful for).♦__④__Happy and successful individuals know that we can learn a lot from other happy and successful individuals.Having people to look up to is a great resource for learning the beliefs and habits that contribute to other people’s success,and then modeling those beliefs and habits in our own lives.If you want to improve a particular area of your life,then find a couple of people who already excel in that area of life.Study them.Ask them questions.Have them show you their technique and share their stories.The more willing you are to learn from others,the more successful you will be.Talking and listening to others is one of the best ways to get more perspective into what you want to improve in life—and how you can do it.Please add a comment at the bottom of this page or blog in our forum here.Please do not use apostrophes in your comments.1.What does the underlined word “resilient” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Depressed. B.Regretful.C.Romantic. D.Flexible.2.The author thinks if one merely focuse on problems,he’ll ________.A.find out a way to solve problemsB.ignore complaints about problemsC.use the problems as his excusesD.acknowledge and solve problems3.People with gratitude ________.A.feel satisfied with their lifeB.stop struggling in lifeC.owe success to their own talentsD.reflect on their achievements4.The successful people may possess the following attitudes EXCEPT ________.A.gratitude and beliefB.courage and riskC.willingness and luckinessD.fortune and convention5.Choose the foll owing subheadings for Parts ①②③ and ④.a.Learn from others b.Show your gratitudec.Focus on solutions d.Learn from failureA.a b c d B.d c b aC.d a b c D.a c b dⅡ.佳作背诵(计划与愿望)(2016·扬州一模)请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
