For many years I had a good life. My illness was reasonably (适度的) under control, I had a nice relationship with my husband, I did work, I didn't hate. It was, as I said, a good life.
But there's a saying that the good is the enemy of the best. I finally realized this one day, and began making my best life. I changed doctors and tried a new way that could relieve(减轻) my symptoms (症状) , rather than just making them easier to deal with. I started talking more with my husband and listening to what he had to say. And I quit(辞掉) my job and started working for myself.
I have the best life I've ever had. I'd call it great. It is possible there's a better life for me, which would then be my "best life" , but for now I don't think so. I've started a business I love. My husband and kids are wonderful. I have a good friend and I'm close to my older sister who lives in town. Could it get better? I suppose so. But for me I think this is the best life I can have right now.
Think more about your life. Where are you living? Are you in a job you just don't mind? What makes your life "good" ? Why isn't it great? What's the enemy of the best and what can you do about it?
Enjoy your best life. We're only here for a short while, and we all need to have the best possible time we can. It's like going to Disney World. If you spend too much time standing in line waiting for the ride, pretty soon your time's up. Get out of the "good" line and have your best life.
1.Which of the following is NOT included in the writer's "good life" ?
A. Having a job. B. Having no hate.
C. Getting on well with her husband. D. Living close to her good friend.
2.The writer quit her job because she________.
A. was ill B. didn't like working
C. wanted to go for her best life D. wanted to enjoy her good life
3.What did the writer do to make her best life?
①She visited other doctors.
②She started a business she loved.
③She played more with her kids.
④She talked more with her husband.
⑤She spent much time in Disney World.
A. ①②④ B.②③④ C.①③⑤ D.①②⑤
4. What's the enemy of the best?
A. Illness. B. A good job. C. Being proud. D. Being satisfied.
5.What is the best title for the article?
A. Attitude to Life B. Making Your Best Life
C. What Makes Your Life "Good" D. A New Way to Treat the Illness

【解析】
【文章大意】你感觉现在生活过得安逸舒适吗?人生本来很短暂,活在世上就要尽可能享受最好的时间,作者针对这一问题,提出自己的观点。这可能对你有所启发。
1.根据第一段中的“I had a nice relationship with my husband, I did work, I didn't hate. It was, as I said, a good life.”得到答案。
2.由第二段第二行“began making my best life”及下文所列举的事例都是过最好的生活。C答案包含在内。
3.由第二段“I changed doctors ”,“I started talking more with my husband ”,“And I quit(辞掉) my job and started working for myself.”和第三段中的“I've started a business I love.”可知道答案A。⑤是最后一段里就像去迪斯尼,而不是说她去了。
4.从第一段作者享受当时的生活成为愉快的生活和第二段自己意识到最大的敌人是满足于这种好的生活,所以作者就做出一系列举动,答案D“满足”。
