22、Saving money is a golden rule in everyday life. And in the western countries it is especially obvious. As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend in the US continues to grow.

“We need furniture for our living room”, says John Rose, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try to making a few tables and chairs.”

John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they make all their furniture and repairs around the house.

Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe-making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”

John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can do to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a DIY, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who didn’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

【1】It can be inferred that many newly married people _________________.

A. find it hard to pay for what they need

C. have to learn how to make their own furniture

D. must take some courses to better their life

23、Studies show that people who are happy—truly happy—have deep connections with those around them.【1】They actively try hard to improve these relationships and build quality relationships with others.

Those connections and relationships that we build and that we attempt to develop, create experiences in our lives. Some experiences will be poor, but it is possible for us to create meaningful experiencesexperiences that allow us to just be. Studies show that when we create meaningful experiences, we allow ourselves time to relax, to build connections, and to

become our best selves.【2】

If we want to create meaningful experiences, we need to learn how to create these moments in our lives. Instead of taking many classes and workshops to teach us how to build connections with others, we should experience beSHOPs, which means we learn by being, by observing, and by becoming.

【3】It helps define us and motivates us to do good, to step outside of our comfort zone, and to be better. A few of these values that we need to create meaningful experiences include:

•Compassion (同情): Compassion has been thoroughly studied and proven to be a natural human response【4】When you are compassionate, you don't have to think twice about helping others.

•Gratitude: Showing sincere appreciation to others helps establish strong feelings of gratitude, and build strong connections. You should express appreciation for all the things in your life and make gratefulness just a part of who you are,

•Willingness to learn:【5】 Many individuals will find themselves stuck in their own world and never take a step outside of their comfort zones. When we have that desire to learn, to explore, and our curiosity is continually peaked, then we are more likely to have these meaningful experiences.

Remember, true happiness, and meaningful experiences are not things you can learn from a series of worksheets and lectures. It is about being.

A．There is so much in the world around us,

B．“To be” requires key values that shape us,

C．It means service, kindness and love for others.

D．Within the communities, you can work on developing these values.

E．Working with others will help you experience many aspects of life.

F．Creating these experiences is a vital step in the process to achieve full happiness.

G．They lay stress on the relationships with their family, friends, colleagues and even strangers.

24、If you simply repeat a behavior for a certain number of days, you’re certain to develop the habit. But habit formation is not so simple.【1】But by employing the following tips, you will speed up the process.

A habit is simply a repeated behavior. Before you can develop a new habit, you will need to set a small, specific behavioral goal. For example, try “doing laundry every Sunday morning” instead of “keeping a more organized home”.【2】It’s a behavior that you can repeat over and over until it becomes a habit.

【3】You are motivated to make the change and you enjoy eating healthy food, but why can’t you keep the habit? Think about the barriers that might be stopping you. Maybe you are too tired to cook after work, so you end up ordering unhealthy take-out meals. Instead of trying to fight through the exhaustion, consider ways to work around the barrier. You could spend one weekend afternoon each week preparing meals for the next five days.

Experiment with to-do lists, daily phone alarms, and any other tools you can use to create reminders. 【4】In addition to creating reminders about desirable behaviors, you may need to remind yourself not to repeat the behavior you want to change.

We might sometimes fail to meet our own expectations, but we hate to let our friends and family down. Use the psychology to your advantage by getting a reliable partner who can text you reminders or words of encouragement.【5】

A．This goal works because it’s specific.

B．Let’s say you want to eat a healthier diet.

C．A good habit can help in a number of different ways.

D．Many of us know that well from our personal experience.

E．You might already learn that it takes 21 days to form a new habit.

F．Remembering to create a new behavior may involve your stopping an old one.

G．A good partner can also be someone working towards the same goal as you.
