Directions：
Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing
the most suitable subheading from the list A－G for each of the numbered
paragraphs（41－45）．There are two extra subheadings which you do not
need to use．Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET．
[A]Be silly
[B]Have fun
[C]Express your emotions
[D]Don't overthink it
[E]Be easily pleased
[F]Notice things
[G]Ask for help
As adults，it seems that we are constantly pursuing happiness，often
with mixed results．Yet children appear to have it down to an art－and
for the most part they don't need self－help books or therapy．instead，they
look after their wellbeing instinctively，and usually more effectively
than we do as grownups．Perhaps it's time to learn a few lessons from them．
41．_______C
What does a child do when he's sad?He cries．When
he's angry?He shouts．Scared?Probably a bit of both．As we
grow up，we learn to control our emotions so they are manageable and
don't dictate our behaviours，which is in many ways a good thing．But
too often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions，especially
negative ones．that's about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and
can even make us ill．What we need to do is find a way to acknowledge and
express what we feel appropriately，and then－again．like
children－move．
42．______E
A couple of Christmases ago，my youngest stepdaughter，who
was nine years old at the time ，got a Superman T－shirt for Christmas．It cost
less than a fiver but she was overjoyed，and couldn't stop talking
about it．Too often we believe that a new job，bigger
house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that will allow us to finally
be content，but the reality is these things have very little lasting impact
on our happiness levels．instead，being grateful for small
things every day is a much better way to improve wellbeing．
43．_________A
Have you ever noticed how much children laugh?If we adults could
indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling，we would reduce the stress
hormones in our bodies increase good hormones like endorphins，improve
blood flow to our hearts and even have a greater chance of fighting off enfection．All
of which，of course，have a positive effect on happiness levels．
44．________B
The problem with being a grown up is that there's an awful lot
of serious stuff to deal with－work，mortgage payments，figuring
out what to cook for dinner．But as adults we also have the luxury of being able
to control our own diaries and it's important that we schedule in time to enjoy
the things we love．Those things might be social，sporting，creative
or completely random（dancing aroud the living room，anyone?）－－it
doesn't matter，so long as they're enjoyable， and not likely
to have negative side effects，such as drinking too much
alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you're on a tight budget．
45．________D
Having said all of the above，it's important to add
that we shouldn't try too hard to be happy．Scientists tell us this
can backfire and actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing． As the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu is reported to have said："Happiness
is the absence of striving for happiness．"And in that，once
more，we need to look to the example of our children，to whom
happiness is not a goal but a natural by product of the way they live．
