People who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weatherThey enjoy all the cheerful thingsThose who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contrary thingsTherefore, they are continually discontentedBy their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhereIf this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitiedThe tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitationIt grows into a habit, unknown to its possessorsThe habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastesI hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious consequence in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luckThose people offend many others: nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respectThis frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into argumentsIf they aim at obtaining some advantage in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them successNor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopesIf they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconductThese people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and othersIf they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with themOtherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.41People who are unhappy .Aalways consider things differently from others.Busually are affected by the results of certain thingsCusually misunderstand what others think or sayDalways discover the unpleasant side of certain things42The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means:_.Ahave a good taste with social lifeBmake others unhappyCtend to scold others openlyDenjoy the pleasure of life43We can conclude from the passage that_.Awe should pity all such unhappy people.Bsuch unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeCpeople can get rid of the habit of unhappiness.Dunhappy people can not understand happy persons.44If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should_.Aprevent any communication with themBshow no respect and politeness to themCpersuade them to recognize the bad effectsDquarrel with them until they realize the mistakes45In this passage, the writer mainly_.Adescribes two types of peopleBlaughs at the unhappy peopleCsuggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness.Dtells people how to be happy in lifeBThe Peales were a famous family of American artistsCharles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American RevolutionHe painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George WashingtonHis life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in PhiladelphiaThe worlds first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settingsPeale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelikeThe museums most popular display was the skeleton （骷髅） of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.Three of Peales seventeen children were also famous artistsPaphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheeseHis brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George WashingtonAnother brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures （小画像）His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.46What is the main topic of the passage?
