The first rule stepping up your luck is to look for variety. More variety will result in a richer life with more opportunities. The more varied life is, the more likely that unexpected combinations of events will occur, giving us the chance to improve our situation. Being able to change is the best way to survive in changing, unpredictable times.When we are searching for something, like a pair of lost eyeglasses, it isn’t a good idea to always follow the same pattern of search. Searching for happiness is like that as well. Be flexible. Learn from your mistakes. Try lots of different possibilities.Variety is necessary for happiness. No matter how rich our lives may seem, if they consist only of expected events and repetition, boredom steps in. We find pleasure in the unexpected and the surprising. Saying yes to uncertainty adds pleasure to life and contributes to our luck. Sometimes it seems easier, however, to use our strength to build walls to try to protect ourselves from uncertainty. We buy life insurance, household insurance, car insurance. We work hard and put money aside. But all this planning can’t guarantee safety. We need to find the courage to welcome uncertainty.Each of us should find one action that will increase variety: subscribe to a new magazine, take a different route to work, sign up for a night-school course. Then focus on its positive results. This positive reinforcement, together with the pleasure of sensing the power in doing what we want to, should give us the courage for the next act.Accepting ourselves exactly as we are at this present moment provides the courage to move forward. Believing that all our choices in the past were the best we could have made at the time frees us from regret and reinforces our belief that we are as good as we can be at this moment. The best preparation for the future is self-acceptance in the present. Self-acceptance and trust in people are the foundations of confidence and courage.Self-acceptance, courage and action don’t guarantee good luck, but they do guarantee a richer and fuller life. According to the text, pleasure can be brought into life by ()
A. finding what we are searching for
B. improving our situation with a bit luck
C. strengthening ourselves to face uncertainty
D. having insurance polices to protect our life
Helen Smith:What better way to start off my senior year in high school than by reading something I am entirely familiar with I couldn’t have described this online revolution any better. The expansion of Facebook and its continuing success make me more interested in the world of computers and web design and the career choices they offer. Thanks, Mark Zuckerberg, for "poking" me into Facebook.Kevin Stuart:Rather than seeing Facebook as the hottest connection tool, I think it’s more like the latest way to make an already impersonal world even more impersonal. How sad that our society is so isolated that we need a computer to "connect" with others. No, thanks! I’m going to continue hanging out on the street corner, and hope someone builds a village square someday—now, there’s a radical idea!Robert Meyer:Isn’t it a contradiction that so many Americans criticize the government measures for national security purposes as an invasion of privacy when many of these same people feel free to lay bare their private lives to public exposure on Facebook Perhaps it reveals shallow minds or shallow lives. Or worse, does it reveal a lack of concern about the security of our country Sad indeed.James Brown:I eagerly returned from vacation so I could see my nieces who were home from college, only to find them with their "faces" in Facebook almost all day. They no longer communicate much with others face to face. No more hanging out at someone’s home. I wonder what effect this societal isolation will have on all of us. I hope this isn’t a trend, I remember all the fun face-to-face contact used to be.Laura Lee:I love email. I live and die by Google, but I will never understand the appeal of Facebook and its vast community of friends. In fact, I’m rather shocked. There are thousands out there who would like to be your friend and demand your time: they’re called books. Pick one up. Life is short. Save your few real friendships for coffee over at Starbucks or invest yourself in a local cause that will form meaningful, lifelong relationships.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.StatementsA、Facebook has built up my confidence in my study.B、Facebook raises individual awareness of privacy protection.C、Facebook serves as an eve opener for my future work pursuit.D、Facebook worsens; instead of bettering, interpersonal relations.E、I miss the good old days when people met and talked to each other in person.F、Mind your own behavior online before you blame others for privacy interference.G、Don’t waste your time on Facebook when you can do something more significant.
