根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并将答案写在试卷的答题卷上。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 1. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 2. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.

3. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.

4. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.

Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 5. .

A. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

B. Still, people say every dog has its day.

C. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.

D. Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people.

E. There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.

F. Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways.

G. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.

You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel a sense of achievement,so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.

The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving so as to achieve real happiness is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call “being” and “having” values. Your “being” values are the character traits(特征)of the ideal person you would like to be. An example of some “being” values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values, you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by “being” a positive role model. Mastering “being” these character traits becomes your life purpose.

Your “having” values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, “being” valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

When you make a commitment to live by your “being” values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary(保守的) ones. If your usual habit is to complain about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate(沉思), or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.

When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, but you reinforce(增强)your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.

1.The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 probably means .

A. a feeling of emptiness

B. a loss of power

C. a lack of energy

D. a state of being confused

2.According to the text, by acting on your own “being” values, you will .

A. gain a lot of power

B. fill your own needs

C. seek all human virtues

D. form positive personality

3.Which of the following does NOT belong to your “having” values?

A. Your success in the competition.

B. The support from your friends.

C. Your own peaceful mind.

D. The friendship with others.

4.What can be inferred from the text?

A. “Having” values are better than “being” values.

B. The way other people think of you decides who you are.

C. A calm person does not choose to complain easily.

D. A responsible person does not care about financial security.

5.The main purpose of this passage is to .

A. persuade the readers to make a commitment

B. inform the readers how to be truly happy

C. explain to the readers what personal values are

D. instruct the readers how to make wise choices
