| For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that getting along with ourselves and with other people is something that we can work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything our own way or demanding the best share of everything, including the attention of our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people. It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be. You don"t have to be spineless (懦弱) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people, to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character. You cannot expect to be perfect, and so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged when they recognize in themselves qualities that they do not like-selfishness, laziness and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them. At the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others, chances are that you are not much better, either. The surest way to be happy is to think yourself above other people. When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you don"t like a teache r or a classmate .Try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing something to make that person dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right if you just keep trying to be pleasant and polite. If things do not turn out all right, then you will simply have to get along the best you can with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can"t change. | ||||||||||||

| As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic essentials of life-food, shelter, clothes and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs which have now been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this level and work shorter hours. I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relieved completely from the routine operations of the home such as scrubbing the floors or the bath of the cooker, or washing the clothes or washing up, or dusting or sweeping, or making beds. By far the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operations, when switched by the housewife. 1. As civilization develops in the direction of technology, ________. A. the basic essentials of life must be supplied B. it is important to supply the basic essentials of life C. it is no longer so important as it was in the past to supply all the basic essentials of life D. it is not necessary to supply the basic essentials of life 2. According to the author, we are faced with________. A. the choice of providing and fulfilling our needs B. the choice of using technology C. the choice of earning a standard of living D. a choice between using technology to provide and fulfill needs to reduce the number of working hours 3. What alternative will mankind have chosen in future? A. To leave our standard of living at this level and work shorter hours. B. To raise our standard of living. C. To fulfill needs which have been regarded as unnecessary. D. To lower our standard of living and work shorter hours. 4. Now most housewives wish to________. A. stop doing their housework B. do more housework to improve their life C. get rid of the heavy burden of their housework D. do only simple and light housework 5. It can be inferred that robots will be invented_________. A. to take the place of housewives B. to help manage a family C. to do the routine of housework instead of human D. to provide the daily necessities for man | ||||||||||||
