    Arthur Brooks,who teaches hundreds of anxious Harvard students how to be happy,has a happiness formula (配方),and he doesn't think young people hear it enough.
    When delivering the speech at the Catholic University on Saturday,Brooks warned new graduates against two common but terrible pieces of advice.One is to go find a job you love,and you'll never work a day in your life;the other is you should save the world.To the first,he claimed it's a great way to ruin youngsters' life.He explained that expecting a job to be fun all the time is too ideal,which will set people up to hate any job,especially when the work unavoidably becomes difficult and not fun.As to the second,Brooks responded, "To expect one's day job to solve the world's various problems is another factor for disappointment in reality."
    Some may guess that the actual cause for job satisfaction are money,fame,power and admiration.However,Brooks never agrees with tjye.aim.He has put forward his two answers to finding happiness at work.
    The first key,according to Brooks,is what he calls earned success.For Brooks,happiness at work is not determined by your job title or income but the investment you put into your day.Put simply, "Don't cut corner." Brooks said, "What matters is that at the end of the day,you can say,you did your work with eff orts and excellence."
    Some experts agree that positive relationships at work are a necessary ingredient for job satisfaction.Brooks' second answer is in line with that finding:do your job in a way that serves others,not just yourself.He told graduates that for the greatest happiness,it does not matter if their job is fun all the time or whether it fixes the world.Instead,deeper satisfaction comes from work that can make a difference in the lives of some.And serving others comes from how you do your job,not whether you work in n bank,put roofs on houses or raise children as a fulltime mother.

  • 3.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
    How to Be a Role Model Being a role model is a big responsibility,especially when you're on the job.How can you set a great example for your peers without setting impossible expectations for yourself? (1)
    We've outlined some simple qualities and characteristics associated with good role models.
        Act confidently. (2)
    Being confident features knowing your self-worth and your strengths,while arrogance centers on feelings of self-importance.You may take the lead on a project that matches your skillset and politely correct a co-worker when they share incorrect information.
        Address your weaknesses.Role models aren't afraid to expose their weaknesses in a new way.Despite popular belief,they aren't flawless and perfect at everything they do. (3)
    You might ask others for advice on how to handle a tough project and say "no" to new commitments if you already have a full schedule.
        Respect everyone around you.Respect earns you other people's trust and admiration.A good role model makes an effort to understand the feelings of their peers,care about their struggles,and treat others the way they'd like to be treated.You could try to wait for your turn to speak and offer a helping hand. (4)

        (5)
    .Role models give their peers plenty of opportunities to improve.Take a moment to acknowledge how hard your teammate has worked and let them know how they can make their next draft or revision even stronger.Keep your tone clear,kind,and direct,so your peer completely understands how to do an even better job in the future.You might say: "I appreciate all the hard work you put into this draft.Would you mind giving it another read-through for small errors and typos?"

    A.Share constructive feedback.
    B.Appreciate your peers' efforts.
    C.Don't worry—you've come to the right place.
    D.Follow these suggestions,and you'll be a true role model.
    E.Don't forget to apologize if you mess up during a project.
    F.Instead,they try to understand their drawbacks and improve them.
    G.Role models have faith in their own abilities without being overconfident.
