I’ve long believedthat positive living isn’t about being optimistic every minute of every day. That kind of permanently happy state can’t be the goal, because it’s impossible to achieve.
It turns out that psychological research finds true happiness comes from authentic positivity, and authentic positivity comes from emotional flexibility.
Being flexible emotionally means being open to the full range of emotional experiences, including the challenging ones like anger, disappointment and sadness. Emotional flexibility means being able to shift behaviors and mindsets to meet different situational needs, and adapting when circumstances change.
However, emotionally flexible people are not chameleons (变色龙) whose outlook changes based on which way the wind is blowing. Instead, emotional flexibility is a skill that helps people judge the complexities of daily life, and stick to their deeply held values.
I’ve learned a new word that I’d like to share with you: Eudaimonia (幸福感). Eudaimonia is the opposite of hedonism (享乐主义), the idea that happiness comes from the constant pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. Eudaimonia, by contrast, encourages us to pursue meaning and authenticity, growth and honest joy. Both are philosophical approaches to happiness, and recent psychological thought is leaning toward eudaimonia as a more sustainable, satisfying model.
Eudaimonia was first mentioned by Aristotle, who got the term from the Greek word “daimon,” which means “true nature.” Tome, walking a positive path means accepting that we each have positive true nature and permanent goodness. What we learn from the concept of eudaimonia is that we are best equipped to realize this nature when we are emotionally honest and flexible.
4. What is the author’s belief?
A. People should live alone.
B. People can’t always be happy.
C. People can’t always achieve their goals.
D. People should pursue true achievements.
5. What do enmotionally flexible people commit themselves to?
A. Their strongly believed values.
B. Their different needs.
C. Permanent happiness.
D. The pursuit of hedonism.
6. How can people gain eudaimonia according to the author?
A. By being honest to others.
B. By changing true nature.
C. By keeping realstically optimistic.
D. By pursuing pleasure constantly.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. What is the meaning of eudaimonia?
B. What should we do to keep positive?
C. How can we keep happy forever?
D. Why can’t people be happy all the time?
C
The outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.
According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.
Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.
“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.
Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying
times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.
Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”
Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.
8. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?
A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.
B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.
C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.
D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.
9. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?
A. It is boring to make comments.
B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.
C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.
D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.
10. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?
A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.
B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.
C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.
D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.
11. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？
A. Positive.
B. Uncertain.
C. Disappointed.
D. Confused.

When you say the word donkey, whatthings come to your mind? A few people might say they’re cute, but the majority think they’re stubborn, dumb and all-round less capable than their horse s.
However, this wasn’t the case for a recently unearthed ancient Chinese noblewoman who was unexpectedly found buried with her donkeys. Published in the journal Antiquity in March, Chinese archaeologists (考古学家) first discovered the tomb in Xi’an, Shaanxi, in 2012. The team examined the remains and identified the body as Cui
Shi, a Tang Dynasty high-born lady who died in 878 AD.
Speaking to Science Magazine in 2012, the study’s co-author, Fiona Marshall, said the finding caused confusion as “donkeys … are not associated with high-status people”.
However, following years of further research, the team discovered artworks and artifacts that showed a sport known as “Lvju”. This was similar to modern-day polo (马球)and was popular among noble (高贵的) women at the time. They preferred to use donkeys instead of full-sized horses for safety reasons, due to their smaller size and slower speed.
Speaking to CNN, Marshall later said, “Historical documents also showed that ladies of the late Tang court loved to play donkey polo.”
At that time in Chinese history, animals were often placed in tombs so that they could be used for a specific purpose in the afterlife. The study determined that Cui Shi likely requested that her beloved donkeys be buried with her, so that she could continue her favorite sport after death. In total, three donkeys were found inside her tomb with riding gear (装备), including stirrups (马镫). “This context provides evidence that the donkeys in her tomb were for polo, not transport,” lead author Hu Songmei of the Shaanxi Academy of Archaeology told Science Magazine.
Before the study, it was believed that donkeys were only used to carry loads, but now it may be time to see them as a sign of achieving high social status(地位), well, in ancient times.
12. What do most people think of donkeys, according to the text?
A. They are as adorable(可爱的) as horses.
B. They are stubborn and not so capable.
C. They were necessary in ancient sports.
D. They were a sign of high social status.
13. Why did Fiona Marshall feel confused when she discovered the donkeys?
A. She didn’t connect donkeys with nobles.
B. She hadn’t seen donkeys in ancient tombs before.
C. She didn’t expect to find donkeys in a woman’s tomb.
D. She didn’t understand why animals were in human tombs.
14. What do we know about the sport “Lvju” from the text?
A. Horses were preferred in Lvju.
B Lvju was similar to modern-day soccer.
C. Lvju was popular among common people.
D. Donkeys were preferred in the sport for safety.
15. The donkeys were found in the tomb of Cui Shi probably because _______.
A. she intended to use them for transport after death
B. her family didn’t want her to be lonely after death
C. she wanted to continue to play Lvju after death
D. noble women needed donkeys to maintain their dignity
