When asked about happiness, we usually think of someth.ng extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.
For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的).
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.
In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的).
My definition of happiness is "the capacity for enjoyment". The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.
I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which 1 love. When the kids and my husband came home, 1 enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don't think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.
We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we've got to have. We're so self-conscious about our "right" to it that it's making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.
Happiness isn't about what happens to us―it's about how we see what happens to us. It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.

A. feel it harder to experience happiness

科目:高中英语 来源:2011级重庆八中高三(上)第四次月考英语试题 题型:阅读理解
I really hadn't meant to yell(吼叫)at them.But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.
With a tiresome report to write,I felt bothered at my desk.Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault.A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.
“OK,you two here.but what an awful thing you are attempting!” shouting angrily, I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me.“Get away from us!” he shouted back,there being expression of support from his sister.
All of a sudden,I found the fault in myself.Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers(螃蟹螯)and crawled towards them,“Crabby(似螃蟹的)Daddy is here Ha,Ha,Ha,he likes to yell at children,and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away,but now he was laughing and crying at the same time.My mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well.Still,I regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way that my children could do after.
Need I let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? This is a lesson that serves myself.It only shows just how to get rid of something(ill-feelings,responsibility)by blaming others.It's not my “best self”.
We have to search for our “best self” when with our children.They don't need perfect parents,but they do need parents who are always trying to get better.Here,I'm reminded of the words of a great thinker,“When a man lives with God,his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook…” Then,in our lifetime,couldn't we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since,most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? And before we reach this level,what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?
1.The author couldn't help yelling at his kids this time probably because______.
A.the weather was so unpleasant |
B.a Daddy has his right to do so |
C.the kids didn't ask him to join them |
D.he was tired of his boring work |
2.Which of the following made the author aware of his fault?
A.No obvious reason. |
B.The children’s reaction. |
C.His self-control. |
D.The mess made by the children. |
3.According to the passage the author will in another similar situation.
A.play a crab again like this time |
B.apologize to kids in a sincere way |
C.avoid blaming kids in a hurry |
D.beat them up about such things |
4.What will the writer go on to write about in the next paragraph(s)?
A.How to behave ourselves properly when kids are at fault. |
B.How to blame our children in a more interesting way. |
C.How to deal with the terrible mess made by our kids. |
D.How to persuade children to do what they are told to. |
