The computer maker will replace the batteries free of change.About 1.1 million of the battery packs are in use in the U.S., the remaining 700,000 were sold internationally.The recall is the second-biggest in U.S. history involving electronics or computers.

Are you seeking happiness today?Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some have put their heart and effort into their work. Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: People are looking for a lasting source of happiness.Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes many because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “Ill be happy when I get my new promotion.” Or “Ill be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could add if you wanted.This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something. In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus.Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “Ill be happy when”It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a responserather, it is a stimulus.Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we wantwe usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy.I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. Therefore, I tend to have a lot of good (and happy) days continually.72. The second paragraph mainly tells us that people seek happiness _.A. in the same way B. in different waysC. by working hard D. by taking drugs73. What does the underlined phrase “This thinking” refer to?A. The thinking of being promoted.B. The giving up of happiness.C. The process and journey of finding happiness.D. The misunderstanding of happiness.74. The writer strongly believes that happiness is _.A. a response B. a stimulus C. a great paying job D. an expensive car75. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _.A. tell people how to enjoy happiness B. encourage people to seek happinessC. express his attitude towards happiness D. criticize the wrong ideas about happiness（四）AIt hurts me more than you, and This is for your own good. These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing weve made a terrible mistake. There is such a teacher called Sharon Klompus who says of her students-so passive- and wonders what happened. Television, says Klompus, contributes to childrens passivity. Were not training kids to work any more, says Klompus. Were talking about a generation of kids who have never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying go to look it up, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid. Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. Its time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. Its time to take the calculators away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but its for their own good. Its time to start telling them no again.64. Children are becoming more inactive in study because _.

A. parents should leave their children alone B. kids should have more activities at school C. its time to be more strict with our kids D. parents should always set a good example to their kidsBSmile, when making an introduction.Every day we meet people in a number of business and social situations.
