beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. the person on the other end has a depressing (令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. you are still in a wonderful mood? impossible!communicating with negative (消极的) people can wash out your happiness. it may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. they only feel glad when they make others feel bad. no wonder they can hardly win others pity or respect.when you communicate with positive (积极的) people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. when the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. this could be a co-worker, or relative. in this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to a negative person, but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they wont feel ashamed of themselves about that.negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. the negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. life is too short to feel negative. stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.1how can negative people have effect on us?a. by telling us the nature of life.b. by influencing our emotion.c. by comparing their attitude to life with ours.d. by changing our way of thinking.2some negative people base their happiness on _.a. other peoples pity for themb. building up a positive attitudec. making other people unhappyd. other peoples respect for them3according to the passage, to reduce negative peoples influence on us, we are advised _.a. to change negative peoples attitude to lifeb. to show our dissatisfaction to negative peoplec. to communicate with negative people as little as possibled. to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves4what can we learn about negativity?a. its effect can be completely avoided.b. its effect can last.c. it hardly happens among family members.d. its effect is smaller than the effect created by a positive person.think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. you name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. you will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. if you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.but the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. if you drop one of these, they will be broken. they will never be the same. you must understand that and try to have balance in your life. how?dont look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. it is because we are different and each of us is special.dont let other people set goal for you. only you know what is best for yourself.dont give up when you still have something to give. nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.dont be afraid of difficulties. it is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.dont shut love out of your life by saying its impossible. the quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings（翅膀).dont run through life so fast that you forget not only where youve been, but also where you are going.dont be afraid to learn. knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.dont use time or words carelessly. you cant get them back. yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; thats why we call it “the present”. life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.5the passage tells us not to _ because everyone is special.a. be afraid of difficultiesb. be afraid to learnc. run through life so fast d. compare yourself with others to look down on your worth6the sentence “nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.” means that _.a. nothing is possibleb. if we dont give up, there is always hopec. you should learn to give upd. although you try, nothing will change.7why cant we use time carelessly? _a. because time is too expensive.b. because time never returns.c. because we are too poor.d. because times will get back.8if you run through life so fast, you will _.a. lose your own treasure that you can always carry easilyb. lose love by
