D
I often teach about happiness and what has become clear is this：There are some qualities always unhappy people have．Here are some of them．
Happy people know life can be hard and tend to live through hard times．They take responsibility for how they got themselves into a mess，and focus on getting themselves out of it as soon as possible．Unhappy people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the“look what happened to me” attitude instead of finding a way through and out to the other side．
Most happy people believe in the good in people instead of thinking everyone is out to get them．Generally open and friendly towards people they meet，happy people foster(培养)a sense of community around themselves and meet new people with all open heart．Unhappy people are distrustful of most people they meet and don’t think strangers can be trusted．Unfortunately，this behavior slowly closes all chances of meeting new friends．
Unhappy people believe someone else’s good fortune steals from their own．They believe there’s not enough goodness to go around and always compare others’against theirs．This leads to jealousy(嫉妒)．Happy people know that others’good luck and circumstance are just signs of what they also can achieve if they try hard enough．They believe in unlimited possibilities and don’t get stuck in thinking one person’s good fortune limits their possible outcome in life．
There’s only so much space between the two ears．Unhappy people fill that space with constant worry and fear．Happy people experience fear and worry too，but make an important difference between feeling it and living with it．When fear or worry crosses a happy person’s mind，they’11 ask themselves if there’s an action they can take to prevent their fear or worry from happening and they take it．If not，they realize they’re spinning in fear and they lay it down．
32．Paragraph 2 mainly shows that unhappy people tend to _______________．
A．focus on what they really want
B．get worried about what will happen
C．stay focused on the past misfortunes

A“Gap Year”is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university．It is often spent travelling or working．  36  ．The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows：
   37  ．Although you don’t have to go abroad to experience gap years，most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad．You are able to work out who you are and what you are for．The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons．
Face Challenges and Have Fun．A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation，but also a time to face challenges．Gap year students usually work，volunteer or take service projects．You have to learn how to get along in the real world．This process isn’t always easy，but it is an important part of growing up．  38   ．
Save Money and Improve Your College Admission Chances．There’s a common thought that gap years are only for rich students，but it isn’t true．  39  ．Gap year students often take a part-time job．Besides，at the end of a gap year，students are much more likely to know what to study in college．Clear learning goals can keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing．
Imagine an admission officer trying to admit only one between two students．Both of them are excellent and have high grades．However，one student has much practical experience or has volunteered in his vacation．  40
