Therefore, they are continually discontented. By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be critical. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and had luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect, and scarcely that. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconduct. These people should change this bad habit and condescend (俯就) to be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
People who are to be unhappy ______.

听力原文： A good reader reads fast and understands most of what he or she reads. Although each person is different, most good readers share six characteristics.
First, most good readers read a great deal. They make time for reading and spend two full hours a day, three or four days a week, reading.
Second, Past readers look for the main ideas in their reading. They don't waste time and effort on unimportant details.
Third, good readers improve their comprehension ability by reading more and more difficult materials.
Fourth, fast readers plan their time for reading. Like students with assignments, good readers give themselves time limits, saying "I want to finish this book by tomorrow. How much time can 1 spend？"
Fifth, good readers set goals. To set a goal, they may read for fifteen minutes for quick understanding, then count the number of pages read and multiply by four. This gives them a number of pages to try to read each hour. Gradually, they increase these goals.
Lastly, fast readers concentrate. They do not let outside distractions or daydreams interfere with their reading.
