Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.DThese days, it seems that almost all of us are too serious. My older daughter often says to me, “Daddy, youve got that ser
38、ious look again.” Even those of us who are committed to non-seriousness are probably too serious. People are frustrated and anxious about almost everythingbeing five minutes late, witnessing someone look at us wrong or say the wrong thing, paying bills, waiting in line, overcooking a meal, making an
39、 honest mistake - you name it, and we all lose perspective（理性判断）over it. The root of being anxious is our unwillingness to accept life as being different, in any way, from our expectation. Very simply, we want things to be a certain way but theyre not a certain way. Life is simply as it is. Perhaps
40、Benjamin Franklin said it best: “Our limited perspective, our hopes and fears become our measure of life, and when circumstances dont fit our ideas, they become our difficulties.” We spend our lives wanting things, people, and events - 9 -to be just as we want them to beand when theyre not, we fight
41、 and we suffer. The first step in recovering from over-seriousness is to admit that you have a problem. You have to want to change, to become more easygoing. You have to see that your own anxiety is largely of your own creationits made up of the way you have set up your life and the way you react to
42、 it. The next step is to understand the link between your expectations and your frustration level. Whenever you expect something to be a certain way and it isnt, youre upset and you suffer. On the other hand, when you let go of your expectations, when you accept life as it is, youre free. A good exe
43、rcise is to try to approach a single day without expectation. Dont expect people to be friendly. When theyre not, you wont be surprised or bothered; if they are, youll be delighted. Dont expect your day to be problem-free. Instead, as problems come up, say to yourself, “Ah, another barrier to overco
44、me.” As you approach your day in this manner youll notice how elegant life can be. Rather than fighting against life, youll be dancing with it. Pretty soon, with practice, youll lighten up your entire life. And when you lighten up, life is a lot more fun. 32. Why are people easily frustrated and anx
45、ious these days?A. Because their children are disappointing. B. Because they have to look serious in public. C. Because life is becoming a greater burden. D. Because people have lost sensible judgment. 33. According to Benjamin Franklin, what was the cause of over-seriousness?A. The fact that people
46、s perspective, hopes and fears are limited. B. The fact that people cant change life itself. C. The fact that things fail to meet peoples expectations. D. The fact that circumstances turn out to be difficult. 34. In what pattern is this article developed?A. Phenomenon, causes and solutions. B. Probl

If in addition we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving. 36 I am thinking of such features of modern
49、city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.For those who d
