When we receive something that we want, or something happens【C6】______we like, we usually feel joy or happiness. Joy is a positive and powerful emotion,【C7】______ for which we all strive. It is natural to want to be happy, and all of us【C8】______happiness. As a general【C9】______, joy occurs when we reach a【C10】______goal or obtain a desired object.
【C11】______people often desire different goals and objects, it is【C12】______that one person may find joy in repairing an automobile,【C13】______another may find joy in solving a math problem. Of course, we often share【C14】______goals or interests, and therefore we can experience joy together. This may be in sports, in the arts, in learning, in raising a family or in【C15】______being together.
When we have difficulty【C16】______desired objects or reaching desired goals we experience【C17】______emotions such as anger and grief. When little things get in our way, we experience【C18】______frustrations or tensions. For example, if you are dressing to go out【C19】______a date, you may feel frustration when a zipper breaks or a button falls off. The more difficulty you have in reaching a goal, the more frustrated you may feel and the more angry you may become. If you really want something to happen, and you feel it【C20】______happen, but someone or something stops it, you may become quite angry.

Unfortunately, many salespeople are【C8】______to tell the truth. They【C9】______some in formation, or share partial truths, or just plain lie. They do it in the【C10】______that customers will buy when they hear【C11】______they want to hear. It is true that customers want to hear certain things but【C12】______they are true. Let's go back to the restaurant.【C13】______the wait is not 15minutes-it is 90 minutes. It is not what we want to hear. Still, we can decide to stay or not to stay. If we do not stay, we will be hack. But if we【C14】______told 30 minutes and it became 90, that【C15】______the last time we ate there. Sooner or later, customers al ways find out the truth. If the truth is different than what they have been told, you have lost their trust.
Truth is【C16】______accuracy. It includes a willingness to stand behind what you say. In other words, are you willing to put your money【C17】______your mouth is? If you are working with others, part of their【C18】______is that when something goes wrong you will stand with them.

Someday, in【C1】______ the outer planets of our solar system, humankind will want to do【C2】______ send small probes that merely fly rapidly by them. In time, we will want【C3】______ spacecraft that will go【C4】______ orbit around these alien planets, land robots on their moons, and even return rock and soil sample back to Earth.【C5】______ , we will want to send humans to their moons, on at least【C6】______ which liquid water—the fundamental requirementfor life【C7】______ we know it—is believed to be【C8】______ .
For missions such as these, we will need rockets powered by a nuclear reaction【C9】______ igniting chemicals. Chemical rockets have served us well. But the【C10】______ low amount of energy that they can deliver for a given mass of fuel is a severe【C11】______ when dispatching spacecraft【C12】______ long distances. To reach the outer planets, for example, a chemically-powered space vehicle must【C13】______ fuel by having a very small mass and making【C14】______ use of gravity "assists", in which the craft maneuvers close enough to a planet for the planet's gravity to propel the craft forward,【C15】______ its speed.
In technical term, chemical rockets have low【C16】______ velocity growth, which means that their exhaust velocities are not high enough to【C17】______ very high speed to the rocket. Nuclear rockets,【C18】______ their chemical counterparts, could impart a maximum velocity of【C19】______ about 22 kilometers a second. Such a high velocity would make possible a direct path to Saturn (土星), reducing travel time from about seven years to as【C20】______ as three.

The day when your house will be like a family member is not that far off. This【C8】______of seamless computing, in which technology is everywhere yet nowhere(【C9】______when we want it) , is emphasized in most future-home thinking.
Microsoft,【C10】______, isn't the only one exploring【C11】______technology can make our homes more【C12】______and comfortable. At the Georgia Institute of Technology, scientists are【C13】______systems that will allow older people to continue living【C14】______. So Grandma's home can be intelligently wired to【C15】______her patterns of wake, sleep and movement; family members would be【C16】______of any changes via computer.
Does spying on Grandma sound【C17】______? Director Beth Mynatt says "A good bit of our【C18】______has been working on how to convey information without【C19】______privacy. We also don't want to create【C20】______anxiety. Maybe she just took a quiet day to read, and the system would have to recognize that. "

What gets in the way of accurate listening? When we're worried about what we're hearing or might hear next or what we might have to do about what we hear, we may very well receive a【C9】______ message.【C10】______ that we will have to "fix it" or "control it" causes us to listen with "filters". We may want to express our own point of view. We may also want to avoid being【C11】______ or being drawn into a conflict, so we【C12】______ . what we hear, because we're already thinking about what we'll say next. It then becomes impossible to hear the speaker's true meaning. Clearly in our workplaces, families and friendship, if we【C13】______ what we think we heard instead of what was actually said, the【C14】______ of the message we received will result in responses that aren't【C15】______ . On the other side, if others don't hear us accurately, we won't feel valued.
If you want to connect with others and take appropriate actions, you must learn to listen with curiosity, empathy and a deep appreciation for the feelings, reality and creativity of another. You need to ask for【C16】______ and not【C17】______ conclusions. You need to pay close attention and "mirror" back what you hear rather than listening【C18】______ while thinking of other things or listening through filters,【C19】______ or expectations that limit or distort the message's【C20】______ meaning. We build trust when others know we understand and value them.

The recognition that happiness and unhappiness can coexist much【C4】______ love and hate in a close re-lationship may offer valuable【C5】______ on how to lead a happier life. It suggests, for example,【C6】______ changing or avoiding things that make you miserable【C7】______ well make you less miserable but probably won't make you any happier. That advice is【C8】______ up by an extraordinary series of studies which【C9】______ that a genetic predisposition for unhappiness may nm in certain families.【C10】______ , researchers have found, happiness doesn't appear to be anyone's heritage. The【C11】______ for joy is a talent that you de-velop【C12】______ for yourself. Family members【C13】______ each other more in their levels of unhappiness than in their levels of happiness. And identical twins were much closer than 【C14】______ twins in unhappiness, a finding that implies agenetic【C15】______ .
Why is unhappiness less influenced by environment? When we're happy we tend to be more【C16】______ to people and to keep【C17】______ connections better than when we're feeling sad. This doesn't mean, however, some people are born to be sad. Genes may predispose (预先安排)one to unhappiness, but disposition can be influenced by personal【C18】______ . You can increase your happiness through your own actions, regardless of your heritage.
Psychologists have discovered some of the actions and attitudes that seem to bring people closer to that most desired of feelings. To begin to think about happiness may help us to understand not only what we have but possibly what we don't have. By【C19】______ happiness we may be able to see more clearly what we really want, and we may also be able to ask ourselves【C20】______ what we want is worth getting.

Naturally, children begin listening to their parents when they are babies. They are often【C5】______, spoken to and admired【C6】______any response expected. Though nobody knows【C7】______the baby understands the spoken words, the【C8】______continues. Children automatically【C9】______such language over some time, and【C10】______on gradually produce it through【C11】______experience. The production may be incomplete at first, but【C12】______at last. That leads to speaking skill,【C13】______is quite applicable to daily conversation.
In learning English, listening can help improve speaking【C14】______. Although it is the first of all skills, it is neither the【C15】______nor the most meaningless. We need to【C16】______various types of English repeatedly and【C17】______if we want to communicate properly, meaningfully and naturally.
Listening can be a good【C18】______while we do other things like cooking. In【C19】______words, we have no wasted time【C20】______.

The importance of interior design becomes 【C2】______ when we realize how much time we 【C3】______ surrounded by four walls. Whenever we need to be indoors, we want our surroundings to be 【C4】______ attractive and comfortable as possible. We also expect 【C5】______ place to be appropriate to its use.
