语法填空

    Every country shares things common: we value family and laughter, cherish food and health, and celebrate large(festival) and traditions. Yet within the similar things we share, there are unique parts of each country. One characteristic that is famous of British people(be) their sense of humor, particularly self-mockery (自嘲). This is a type of humor that criticizes and undervalues oneself. For example, a fat person may joke: "I am on a new sea food diet. If I see food, I eat it." This is well-known self-mockery joke. It's difficult why self-mockery(tie) to the British people. But every nation's sense of humor comes from its culture and history. It could come from another British characteristic, modesty,(mean) not talking openly about your skills. This seems to be something that is similar with people in China, modesty plays a big part in daily life. It also acts as a defense of our self-respect by playing down our skills, this can(less) the chance of people criticizing us. Another possible reason is the British people do not take themselves too(serious).

举一反三
For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

    However depressed you may be feeling now, if you look back, there certainly will have been events that made you happy—maybe the time {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you bought your first bicycle or you were awarded a scholarship. When good things happen, we feel excited, proud and happy.

    But the problem is, happiness doesn't usually last. The excitement of that first bicycle purchase wears off, and the pride in the scholarship gives way to the stress of performing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (well) on the next exam.

    Psychologists call this phenomenon hedonic adaptation (享乐适应症)—that is, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} good something makes us feel, most of the time we drift back to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we started. An often {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (quote) example is that lottery winners are no happier than non-winners eighteen months after their win.

    But don't despair. It is possible to make happiness last. Psychologists have found two anti-adaptation tools that are effective in sustaining happiness: variety and appreciation.

    Variety is, as we all know, the spice of life. But it's also a useful weapon {#blank#}6{#/blank#} adaptation. Positive changes that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (experience) in a variety of ways are more likely to lead to lasting happiness. For example, you will feel happier about your volunteer work{#blank#}8{#/blank#} you are able to cope with new tasks every week. The second tool, appreciation, is in many ways the opposite of adaptation. It's about focusing on something, instead of letting it fade into the background. It is only when you appreciate something {#blank#}9{#/blank#} an enduring feeling of happiness will follow.

    Human beings spend a lot of time figuring out what makes them happy, but not enough time {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (try) to hang on to the happiness they already have. This is like focusing all your energy on making more money, without giving any thought to what you will do with the money. The key to happiness is to not only look for new opportunities but also to make the most of the ones you've been given.
