The power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year r
29、ound!Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our hearts, minds and souls. Actually, thats your choices, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect tha
30、t attitude of yours!In order to make “ sunshine” or rather “ light” part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what you really feel youd like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how ma
31、ny negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip (说闲话) about other people, which is actually often attached to feelings of jealousy (妒忌) and insecurity about yourself.You are also supposed to take a close look at your “intentio
32、n”. How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on your intention . Think about it!Putting all
33、of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel “sunshine” in the other,
34、 you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so, you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you!29. You can have
35、 sunshine from your inside _.A. by measuring what you needB. by helping someone elseC. by watching what you think, say and doD. by changing your intention30. According to the writer, you dont feel secure about yourself when you _.A. gossip about other people B. take a close look at your intentionC.
36、expect to be recognized for what youve done D. become aware of your negative thoughts31. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Expecting something in return for our help isnt the right intention.B. Breaking our patterns is the most important to get true sunshine.C. If we dont intend to help other
37、s, we create monsters inside us.D. Negative attitudes have little to do with happiness.32. The passage is written mainly to _ .A. stress the importance of the positive lifestyleB. analyze the intentions and thoughts in our mind C. offer advice on having sunshine from our insideD. warn us about the b
38、ad effects of negative attitudesD After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keeping love with my wife, Peggy: I started dating another woman. It was Peggys idea, actually. “You know you love her,” she said one day, taking me by surprise. “Life is too short. You need to spend time w
39、ith the people you love. You probably wont believe me, but I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.” The other woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his dea
40、th, I moved 2500 miles away to California and started my own family and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with Mum. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-together a
41、nd holidays. She was surprised and suspicious, then, when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. “Whats wrong?” she asked. My mother tried to figured out any signals of bad news. “I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,” I said. “Just the two of us.” “Id l
42、ike that a lot,” she replied. As I drove to her house, I actually couldnt help wondering what we would talk about and what if she didnt like the restaurant I chose. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, make-up perfectly applied. “I told
43、my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed,” she said as she got into my car. “They cant wait to hear about our evening.” We didnt go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. My mother held my arm, half out of affection(情感) and half to help her kee
44、p balance. We had a nice talk over dinner, catching up with each others lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie. “I will go out with you again,” my mother said as I dropped her off. “but only if you let me buy dinner next time.” I agreed. “How was your date?” my wife asked when I got h
45、ome that evening. “Nicenicer than I thought it would be,” I said. She smiled. Mom and I got out for dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we took in a movie, but mostly we talked. I told her about my trials at work and the kids and Peggy. Mum filled me in on family gossip and told me about the
46、 past. Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory during World War II. I know how she met my father there. We also talked about the future. Because of health problems, my mother worried about the days ahead. “ I have so much living to do,” she told me once. “I need to be there while my
47、 grandchildren grow up. I dont want to miss any of it.” I often complain about how quickly time flies. Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down. Peggy was right.

Why did the author say that “Dating another woman has helped my marriage”?A. He appreciated his wife of the idea.B. He was better to handle
