There are two types of people in the world. Although they have an equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, while the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons and events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. They enjoy all cheerful things. Those who are unhappy think and speak only of unpleasant things. Through their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind is found in nature, such unhappy people should be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation（模仿）. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it can be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects.
Although this attitude is mainly an act of the imagination, it has serious results since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. If such people aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone speak a word in favor of their hopes. If they are criticized, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join in criticizing their wrong doings. So they should change this bad habit and stop worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, they will have a disagreeable time, especially when someone becomes mixed up in their quarrels.How does the writer tell the happy from the unhappy? 21om

“If you consider getting older with needing less sleep, it’s not true!” says Robert Oexman, D．C．, director of the Sleep to Live Institute．Besides disease, medicine and pain, if parents complain of bad sleep, Dr．Oexman looks at their nighttime habits, where the problem almost always exists．So, how are you destroying your sleep?
Watch TV until you fall asleep
It has nothing to do with what you watch．It’s you who face TV’s bright light．That’s the reason．So even if you nod off in front of the TV, for example, you probably won’t stay asleep for long．
So an hour before bedtime, treat yourself like a baby: a warm bath．But no reading or writing on your computer before bed or in the middle of the night．
Exercise too close to bedtime
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect--it raises your body temperature, so when you lay your sleepy head on the pillow, your body temperature is normal．
Eat fatty, heavy foods too close to bedtime
If you’ve ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you’ve probably found the discomfort of stomach acids（胃酸）less than good for falling asleep or staying asleep．
So try to eat your last meal of the day at least 2-3 hours before bedtime．Should you feel hungry before bed? So have a bowl of cereal or a small boiled potato．Or maybe have a serving of jasmine rice．

Life comes in a package．This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair．Life is a learning process．Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person．With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations．
Love plays a main role in our life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could become cruel．In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care．They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad．But we don’t always care about it．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings．
Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind．No mind is happy without peace．Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure．But all of these things will pass away．
Failure is the path to success．It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way．Success brings in money, pride and self-respect．
Hope is what keeps life going．Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day．
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control．Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark．So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow．We usually have to accept _______ if we want to be successful．
| A．love | B．failure | C．sadness | D．hope |
