of us are too serious. my older daughter often says to me, “daddy, youve got that serious 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 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 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 to be just as we want them to beand when theyre not, we fight 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 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 exercise 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 overcome.” 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 anxious 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 peoples 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. problems, explanation and conclusion. c. examples, causes and arguments. d. phenomenon, analysis and conclusion. 35. what might be the best title for the passage?a. people seem to be too serious b. life is simply as it isc. hopes can turn into difficulties d. a good exercise removes over-seriousness第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。everyone wants love，money，success and so on

(remain) seconds, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my sons teammate, mickey o donnel. with shouts of “kick it!” echoing across the playground, mickey turned around and gave 63 everything he had. all around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). o donnel had scored!then there was 64 (silent). mickey had scored all right, 65 in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. for a moment there was a total hush.
