enthusiasm will take you 36 than any amount of experience.” how right they were! enthusiastic people can turn a / an 37 drive into an adventure, extra work into an opportunity and strangers into friends. “nothing great was ever 38 without enthusiasm” wrote waldo emersonit is the inner voice 39 , “i can do it!” when others shout, “no, you cant!” it took years and years for the early work of barbara mclintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 nobel prize in medicine, to be 40 accepted. yet she didnt stop working on her experiments. work was such a deep 41 for her that she never thought of stopping.it is hope 42 gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, 43 their age. at 90, musician pablo casals would start his day by playing bach. as the music 44 his fingers, his beat shoulders would 45 and joy would reappear in his eyes. music, for casals, was an exciting thing that made life a never ending 46 . elizabeth layton of wellsville, kan, was 68 47 she began to draw. this activity 48 the depression that she has suffered from for 30 years, and the 49 of her work led one critic (评论家) to say, “i have to call layton a genius. elizabeth had rediscovered her 50 ”how do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? the answer, i believe, 51 the word itself. “enthusiasm” comes from the greek and means “god within”. and “god within” is 52 else but a sense of love a proper love of self, that is self acceptance, and the love of others 53 .enthusiastic people also love what they do, 54 money or fame or power. if we cannot do what we love as a full time career, we can do it as a part time 55

at the university of british columbia found.their experiments on more than 630 americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on otherseven if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.“we wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn，” said elizabeth dunn，a psychologist at the university of british columbiathey asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness，report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.“no matter how much income each person made，those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not，” dunn said in a statement.dunns team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in boston before and after they received an annual profit sharing bonus of between $ 3,000 and $ 8,000“employees who devoted more of their bonus to prosocial spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself，” they wrote in their report, published in the journal science.they gave their volunteers $ 5 or $ 20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend itthose who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.“these findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocationsas little as $ 5may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day，” dunn said.59the underlined word “boost” in the first paragraph probably means_.ahelp to find bhelp to increase chelp to bring dhelp to get60which of the following statements

passage?athe more you earn, the greater happiness you will get.bif you spend money on someone else, you will feel happier.cyou can spend only $ 5 a day on someone else to get happiness.dspending more money on yourself will make you happier.62it can be inferred from the 6th paragraph that _.athe volunteers not given $ 5 or $ 20 spent their own money on themselvesbthe volunteers were given $ 5 or $ 20 as a reward for the experiment.cthose who spent the money on someone or something else felt happier about itdhalf of the volunteers could spend the money as they liked. c living in a foreign culture there are many times when i realize that my perspective (观点) on life is drastically different from those koreans i interact with on a daily basis. this past week i have been greatly challenged to change my perspective and here is why. my dream in life is to become a doctor, one who changes the world. but last week i opened an email from ubc that contained the words “regrets”, no interview. i didnt get an interview to medical school, thus will not be entering school for september 2009. my immediate reaction was one of extreme disappointment and angermostly directed at myself for not working hard enough, for not seeking out the opportunities necessary to have a good application, for simply not being good enough. my mind was full of hopelessness and despair that left me with no desire to further seek for the dream that ive held for quite a time now. during the past week two things happened. at church our pastor mentioned perspective in a section of his sermon (说教). he stated that when we take our eyes off ourselves and realize gods greatness, our circumstances will be seen through a new perspective. the second thing that reminded me to look at perspective was reading a book. the mitford series is so good if you are looking for books to read. so last night i was reading and one of the main characters (who is a priest) is trying to figure out what to say at church. his sermon ended up saying “in everything we give thanks.” it is easy to give thanks when we feel successful in life. it is easy to give thanks when we receive a blessing. but seriously, who in their right mind says thanks for the financial problems i have?63. where does the author probably live now?a. in the church. b. in britain. c. in korea. d. in ubc.64. how did she feel when the author received the email from ubc?a. disappointed. b. regretful. c. excited. d. anxious.65. in the first pastors view, when we face disappointment or despair, we should _. a. turn to god for help b. see it in another way c. change the others perspective d. receive a blessing66. what can we infer from the passage?a. the author thanks god for not being admitted by the university.b. the author thinks the second sermon is wiser.c. the author still wants to be a doctor.d. the author cant really free from the disappointment.dhave you ever wondered what a degree might be worth to you in your job or
