答案
核心考点
举一反三
John Steinbeck once said,"All Americans believe they are born fishermen.For a man to
admit to a distaste in fishing would be like denouncing(公开谴责)mother-love or hating
moonlight."
I can"t say that I"m the biggest John Steinbeck fan.Actually,the only thing I can remember
reading by him was "The Pearl" when I was in middle school,but I couldn"t agree more with
the man when it comes to fishing.Whether I am on a boat in the middle of Lay Lake,fishing
off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon(大海鲢)or catching rainbow trout(虹鳟鱼)in
the Shoshone River of Wyoming,fishing is my life.
According to the American Sportsfishing Asso ciation,the fishing industry brings in more
than $116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.
Though a beautiful picture to imagine,fishing is much more than that.Fi shing is a way
of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress.Being a fisherman makes me
a member of a wonderful group of people extending to all walks of life.Even President
Bush can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when
the job gets too stressful.
I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at Lake
Mitchell.Although I didn"t understand what I was doing,I did know that my grandfather was
happy and that made me happy.Since then I have spent the past 16 years on the rivers and
lakes of Alabama.
After years of practice,before and after work,I slowly developed an understanding of
fishing.My boss,Ric Horst,took me back to the Shoshone,and I managed to bring in a
19-inch cutthroat trout.Fishing with Ric was a life-changing experience for me.He not only
showed me how to fish correctly,but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape
your problems.
Since then,prime-time(黄金时间)season seems to take forever to arrive.
Now,with the ending of February and beginning of March in sight,the excitement of
heading out to Lake Tuscaloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something
has finally returned.
B.it is unthinkable for an American to admit his dislike of fishing
C.all Americans are expert at fishing
D.those who dislike fishing would not love their mothers
B.when he went fishing with his grandfather at Lake Mitchell
C.after he had spent 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama
D.after he went fishing with his boss,Ric Horst on the Shoshone
B.The author regards fishing as a very important part in his life.
C.The author agreed with John Steinbeck the most when he was in middle school.
D.President Bush often goes fishing in public in order to collect ideas for his job.
B.To explain the reason why so many Americans like fishing.
C.To make others understand the industry of fishing.
D.To express his opinion about fishing in different time of the year.
So everyone tries to pursue happiness. What"s the pursuit of happiness? It means
practicing happiness regularly, making it a habit, and reprogramming our brains by creating
new emotional pathways.
Psychologists" studies have suggested that several factors contribute to our happiness.
It"s shown that only 10% of our ability for happiness depends upon external(外在的)
circumstances! 50% of our happiness level is dependant on genetic genes and 50% is
learned. Of the 50% learned, only 10% is determined by our circumstances. The other
40% is determined by our habitual thoughts, feeling, words, and actions. That 40% is
what we have power to change!
So how can we learn to be happy? It takes practice, practice, practice. Here are
three ways to get started.
Power of positive thinking: Our negative selftalk is so powerful; it overwhelms
(覆没)all other input. It therefore takes numerous positive experiences to overcome
a single negative one. For each negative thought, state three positive qualities that you
possess and start creating a new positive thought.
Open your heart and share the best of you with others: Happy people are more
giving, outgoing, flexible and creative. Does serving others make you happy or does being
happy better enable you to be of service? What difference does it make? Just reach out and
start giving!
Honor yourself: Be gentle and forgiving toward yourself. You need to unconditionally
love and approve of your innermost(内心的)being, which is the keystone that supports all
gateways toward personal growth, fulfillment, and happiness.
True happiness isn"t a short pleasure but a sense of wholeness and fulfillment. Happiness is our right as human beings and to pursue happiness is our duty.

to-on a reading schedule throughout the year. This includes summer months, holiday breaks, or any time
when school is out. The key is to always make reading fun and a time to look forward to. Then what are
things parents should keep in mind to create fun reading?
Take advantage of weather. Be adventurous and make it a game as to where you should read to your
child and what. In warm weather, read next to a pond or lake, under a tree, or even in the tree house.
One mother reads to her young child in their children"s pool in the backyard during the summer months.
Another mom finishes the longedfor daily trip to the park in the spring or fall by reading a book before
they leave. Cold months can mix reading activities by having books about snowmen, snowfalls, winter
holidays, or sports such as ice skating.
Build a reading activity into life"s planning. Children of all ages should learn the connection between
reading and knowledge. If your family is adding a flower bed, have children read about how to prepare a
bed, what kinds of flowers are suitable for the area of the country and when they should be planted.
Getting a new family pet? Read up on varieties of dogs, care required, and even stories about children
and their pets. Traveling somewhere? You guessed it, read all about your destination first and you and
your children will have the added benefit of knowing more about the area when you arrive.
Create a book discussion. Some fun ways for kids are to have book discussions, which can be done
with family members by flashlight in the backyard, during a summer outing, or even over breakfast. Be
creative! Parents may ask the child some questions, such as: Did you like the book? Why or why not?
Who was your favorite character? Did you like how it ended? Parents can also create a book club with
kids in the neighborhood, where they can have a book discussion. A simple discussion may last as short
as 20 minutes, or longer as appropriate. The book club may have each child tell about a particular book
they read each week. Taking turns with sharing books can bring a lot of fun!
