You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving

题文

You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upt. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always arching for ways to fill the void in your life. The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choo three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wi and even powerful. By acting on the values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being the character traits becomes your life purpo. Your having values are feelings you need to create in order to be happy. The could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial curity. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create the feelings and conditions in your life. When you make a commitment to live by being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choo to think and act like a calm person. A clam person might go for a walk, meditate(沉思), or t a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choo to act like a responsible or wi person. In other words, you would act like the person you choo to be-this is the key to personal power. When you choo to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourlf, you reinforce(加强)your chon beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you e the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.小题1:The main purpo of this passage is to _____A inform the readers how to be truly happyB explain to the readers what personal values are C persuade the readers to make a commitmentD instruct the readers how to make wi choices小题2:According to the text, living by your being values, you would_____A gain a lot of power B fill your own needsC ek all human virtues  D form positive personality小题3:The underline word “void” in Paragraph 1 means______A a break of continuity    B an abnt of one’s mindC a feeling of emptiness   D a state of confusion小题4:What can be inferred from the text?A Having values are better than being valuesB A calm person does not choo to complain.C The way other people think of you decides who you are.D A responsible person does not care about financial curity 题型：未知难度：其他题型
