Question

We often act like babies when we want to be happy. Why? I think it is because children have no worry and they don’t complain.

We can set a goal in our life and go after what we want. But if we’re ① all the time, how can we live happily? If you don’t believe me, count how many ① you complain about something in one day. Whether it is being trapped in busy traffic or troubled by weather, or whatever it is, there are endless things you can find to complain about.

But it’s not just the outside condition that we will complain about. We complain about ourselves too. We complain that we don’t have enough time or money, and that we’re not smart enough, cool enough, or just enough. Many times we experience lots of unpleasant things because of complaining about things we can’t control.

Think about how much happier you would be if you stopped complaining? ②Much of what you complain about is out of your control anyway. What’s the meaning of thinking about something you have no power to change?

Finding out what you are complaining about is the first step to stop complaining. Ask yourself if you prefer to complain or to be happy.

It’s best to stop to enjoy the beautiful life, but not to waste time to complain.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述了生活中人們會(huì)有各種各樣的抱怨，抱怨自己，抱怨外界，抱怨沒(méi)有足夠的時(shí)間和錢(qián)等等，這樣我們不能快樂(lè)的生活。有些抱怨是什么無(wú)法改變的，我們只有享受生活，而不是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間來(lái)抱怨。

1.完成句子。結(jié)合前后文，此句為：如果我們一直抱怨，我們?cè)趺纯鞓?lè)地生活？如果你不相信，數(shù)數(shù)看你一天抱怨多少次？complain抱怨，動(dòng)詞，句中用到現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，表示反復(fù)做某事，所以動(dòng)詞用ing形式；time次數(shù)，句中要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

2.句子翻譯。Out of your control 你不能控制的；句意為：許多你抱怨的東西如論如何不是控制不了的。

3.原句為：我們可以有生活的目標(biāo)并且努力實(shí)現(xiàn)它。與它類(lèi)似的句子有：We can set a goal in our life and go after what we want. Set a goal樹(shù)立目標(biāo)；go after追逐。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容Finding out what you are complaining about is the first step to stop complaining.找出你所抱怨的東西是你停止抱怨的第一步。

5.主旨大意題。這篇文章主要講述的如何處理生活中的抱怨，中心句為It’s best to stop to enjoy the beautiful life, but not to waste time to complain.最好的方法是停下來(lái)去享受美好的生活，而不是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間抱怨。
