Things to Remember If You Want to Be Truly Happy
Never dwell on the past
Your past is just a story.__1__ Everyone has a past—often full of pain, disappointment, missed opportunities, and unfulfilled expectations.No matter what your past looks like, it’s just a story—so don’t let it influence you.
Never focus on what’s missing; look at wh at you actually have.
__2__ You could waste hours counting the things you would like to improve, which would only take you away from appreciating your real life.Gratitude puts situations into perspective and rewires your mind toward a positive direction.
Never underestimate quality time with yourself.
Don’t confuse happiness with excitement; a lasting joy of life grows when your mind is in peace.__3__Regular meditation, sport, contact with nature, and quality (offline) time spent reading will help you reconnect with yourself and hear your intuition again.
__4__
We are all different, and there is no perfect direction or path to our personal evolution.The whole point is to become the best version of YOU, and never stop taking lessons from your own life experiences.
__5__
Your time and life power are limited, so spend them wisely and target your energy towards something meaningful.Finding a purpose helps you live a bigger life.
Never be too harsh on yourself.
Many of us are our own hardest critics, constantly diminishing every success.Accept that you will never be ideal and see this as okay.In the process of self－development, embracing your own vulnerabilities(缺陷) has been scientifically proven to be a key component of happiness.

B．Be grateful for what you have.
C．Never stop improving yourself.

My mother raised an eyebrow and looked at me, but she didn’t say anything.The problem is, chuleta doesn’t mean “pretty” in Spanish __5__ means “pork chop(猪排)．” In some__6__(place) it has a double meaning.But Mike’s intentions__7__(be) so sweet: He was trying to let my mother know how much he loved her.
Soon my brothers and sisters gathered in the kitchen to watch the dancing as Mike __8__ (continue) to call my mother his “little pork chop”. We didn’t tell him what he was doing because we didn’t want to make him __9__ (embarrass)．But every time he left the room, we would laugh so hard __10__ tears would start rolling down our cheeks.
答案 1.curious [考查词性转换。

is为系动词，后面须用curiosity的形容词形式作表语。

] 2．told [考查时态、语态和主谓一致。

主语为he，是单数第三人称，再结合语境可知，他是被告知这个词的意思是“美人；漂亮的”。

因此要用一般过去时的被动语态。

]
3．for [考查介词。

for表示目的，“为了……”。

]
4．calling [考查伴随状语。

calling my mother his chuleta是现在分词短语作状语，故动词call须用其－ing形式。

]
5．but [考查并列连词。

not...but...为固定结构，表示“不是……而是……”。

] 6．places [考查名词复数。

可数名词place前有some修饰，用名词的复数形式。

事情发生在过去，故用一般过去时。

名词为复数形式，故谓语动词用were。

]
8．continued [考查词性转换。

空格单词的时态应该与gathered一致，故用过去式。

] 9．embarrassed [考查词性转换。

him后面缺少宾语补足语，须用动词embarrass的形容词形式。

]
10．that [考查固定句型。

so...that...表示“如此……以至于……”。

]
Ⅲ.阅读理解
When the Normans built their first simple wooden castles in England, they built them on the tops of small hills.The first permanent castles were made of stone and built with thick walls.The main building was usually surrounded by walls which overlooked the moat (护城河)．
The entrance to the castle was usually over a drawbridge (吊桥) leading to the main gatehouse.The drawbridge could be raised or lowered and an iron grille (栅栏)
could be lowered to shut off the entrance to the gatehouse.
As time went on, the castle builders became more advanced in their techniques.Instead of building a strong central building and surrounding it with walls of lesser strength, they thought out the idea of surrounding a central area with huge walls which could contain all the main rooms of the castle.These walls usually had many towers and these towers were really a series of main buildings along the castle walls.In building these castles they used hill sites whenever possible in order to give the castle a better position.Because the outside world was shut off by a barrier or curt ain of defences, they are called “curtain wall” castles.
With the passing of time there was less need to build strong castles and nobles built manor (庄园) houses.These manor houses often had battlements and iron grilles, but they were built more for comfort and included many of the conveniences and luxuries of the large houses which were being built in the towns.
Unfortunately, many English castles were damaged or destroyed completely during the Civil Wars of the 1600s.
