Happiness, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is based on luck or good fortune. Joy

on the other hand, is described as a vivid emotion of pleasure. Thus, happiness depends on 31 ;

joy, on our emotional well-being.

If you know joyful people, you will probably notice common traits among them. Joyful

people are often healthy, both 32 and mentally; they value strong 33 relationships, and they

don't allow the extremes of life—sudden highs or sudden lows—to 34 them too much. Joytul

people lead a more stable life. But these abilities do not just arrive; they have to be worked at.

Teaching ourselves to be 35 may be one of the greatest things we can do to enhance our

36 health. However, it is important to understand that joy is an emotion that arises from within

us and is not 37 by the things that happen to us. Instead of looking for external things to

provide happiness in our lives, we must 38 to find the joy within. We must educate ourselves

about joy and work to enhance it in our lives. One way to start is to make a(n) 39 to wake up

every morning and find joy in our lives. Think about a special person or a(n) 40 pet. It is our

choice to be joyful or fearful. Let's take the time to train ourselves to be joyful—our lives will be

both happier and healthier for it.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A (10’)

Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B,

C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

When someone smiles, a glum

（闷闷不乐的）

mood is lifted. But change the cast of a

smile, and the consequences shift. Understanding the nuances

（细微差别）

helps ensure that

you send and receive the right 41 of mouth. Here are some interesting insights about this

familiar gesture.

* Outer Smile, Inner Darkness

Ironically ，a smile can express contempt

（蔑视）

. Bullies may want others to see their

smiles and 42 their evil intention. The result is a conscious disconnect between outward

expression and inner feelings. Other times ，the disconnect may be unconscious—the result of

putting aside negative feelings. A person may have heard as a child that angry feelings should

never be expressed, so sometimes the indication of anger is covered with 43 .

* Don’t Believe It

Liars don’t smile more than truth tellers , a recent study confirmed. 44 , they do display

more manufactured smiles. They use these 45 to divert others from the fact that they’re lying.

One exception; liars have to make up a lie on the spot when they have no time to prepare their

story. They tended to display spontaneous embarrassed smiles , which suggests discomfort with

their attempt to fake someone out.

* The 46 Divide

Studies reveal that women smile significantly more than men do ，especially in their late

teens and as young adults. Also，men are less likely to 47 a smile，especially when another

guy smiles to him. But there are times when smiling is the best way to convey masculinity

（男子

气概）

. When men smile under threat or laugh at fear, they are showing that everything is 48 .
