题型：不详难度：来源：
It is not so much what happens to each of us that determines our quality of life, but rather our reaction to what happens. Though we may have no 36 in unexpected events that happen to us, we most certainly have choice in 37 we interpret what happens, and in whatwe choose to do about it. These choices make all the 38 in how we experience our world and very much determine our 39 of life.
Neither does what we own 40 a major role in quality of life. One person with all the money and possessions in the world may have a 41 life, while another in the lowest income classes may 42 love their life. It is what we do with what we own that 43 our level of satisfaction and joy in life. It"s not what you 44 or what happens to you in life that 45 , but rather what you do with it.
Every 46 something is happening in our lives. And every moment we 47 or a judgment about what happens. By choosing to become more 48 of how we react to what happens, we can 49 towards what we really want in our lives. 50 following habitual, reactive patterns which 51 more of the same, we can recognize and 52 our old habits to move powerfully in the 53 of creating the life we really want. Yet to do this, we must first find the 54 to look at some of the disempowering, often unconscious 55 which get in the way and don"t serve to increase our quality of life. But by continually reminding ourselves of our intention to be creators, we can transform our life.

解析
决定我们的生活质量好坏的因素，不是发生在我们每个人身上的事情，而是我们对这些事情所作出的反应；我们不是生活的被动承受者，而是人生主动的创造者，明白了这一点，我们就能改变我们的人生。
36．C 根据下空可以看出答案，意思是“我们的生活品质很大一部分并非取决于发生了什么，而是我们的处事态度。纵然我们无法选择发生在我们身上的意外，但我们理所当然可以选择怎样理解和处理所发生的事情。” sure应该和take搭配。这些选择造就了我们所体验生活的不同，并很大程度上决定了我们的生活质量。
37.A
38.B
39. B 根据文章大意及第一句可知，此处应为“生活质量”，非“类型”和“水平”。
40．B play a major role短语，意思为“我们所拥有的东西也不构成决定生活质量的主要因素。”
41．A 拥有世界上所有财富的人也可能过着悲惨的生活。
42．C 与上一句相对应，一个拥有全世界金钱和资产的人依然可能生活得很痛苦，而收入位于最低列的另外一个人则可能绝对热爱他的生活。本题易误选D。
43．C 此句为强调句型（It…that…）。我们如何对待我们所拥有的才真正影响我们满意水准和生活乐趣。本题易误选D。
44．D possess“拥有”，在意义上与上下文保持一致，符合题意要求；而lack 意为“缺乏”， need“需要”，reserve意为“保留；预计”均不合题意。句意为“你拥有什么或者发生了什么都不重要，你怎样看待和处理这些才至关重要。”
45．D matter“有关系，有重要性”。本题易误选C。
46．D 每时每刻，而不是每一次。参考47空可知。
47．C And every moment we make interpretations or judgments about what happens.make a mistake犯错误、弄错了；make a discovery发现；make a decision
做出决定；make a fortune赚一笔钱。生活的每一刻都在发生着什么。每一刻我们也都在作出决定和判定到底发生了什么。
48．A be conscious of“意识到”。句意为“通过有意识的选择怎样应付发生的事情，我们可以更接近我们生命中真正想要的。” 本题易误选D。
49．B shift“改变，移动”，shift to/toward；alter，改变；differ，是difference的动词形式，意思是“不同……”，differ in...，“在某方面或某事上不同”的意思； distinguish，后面常跟介词from或between，意思是：“从……中区别出来，不同”。比较这四个词的意义及用法，可以看出只有B才是正确答案。本题易误选D。
50．B 不再采用很少变化的习惯性地应对方式，这些方式（会）导致同样的结局。本题易误选C。
51．A lead to“导致”。参考上句。lie in后加原因。本题易误选C。
52．B 句意为“我们可以意识到并将我们的旧习有力地向创造我们想要的生活方向转变。”
53．C in the direction of“朝……方向”。参考上句。
54．D 然而要做到这一点，我们首先必须有勇气审视某些消沉面，通常无意识/潜意识行为会过来挡道，阻碍我们提升生活的品质。本题易误选C。
55．A pattern指“模式，行为”； frame指“框架”；landscape指“风景线”；example指“范例，榜样”，可见A为正确答案。 |

I have taught many children who held the 40 that their self-worth relied on how well they 41 at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and –death affairs. In their single-minded 42 of success, the development of many other human qualities is 43 forgotten.
44 , while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take a(n) 45 attitude. In a culture valuing only the winner and 46 to the ordinary players, they strongly 47 competition.

By not trying, they always have a(n) 49 ：“I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter 50 I really didn’t try.” 51 , this belief is the same as 52 of the true competitors trying to prove themselves. Both are based on the 53 belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in 54 with others. Both are afraid of not being valued.
