Human beings spend a lot of time figuring out what makes them happy, but not enough time (10) (try) to hang on to the happiness they already have. This is like focusing all your energy on making more money, without giving any thought to what you will do with the money. The key to happiness is to not only look for new opportunities but also to make the most of the ones you've been given.

16.(15分)The constant working engine that drives the majority of human action is, undoubtedly, the fragrant dream of individualism. And while the presence of its scent is (1) throughout the world entirely, its value is worshipped (敬奉) to such an extent in a land no other than that of America. As the framework of its history, America holds individuality as the ever﹣popular green light, the essence of which becomes the symbol of hope for, well, almost everything. In fact, in America's current social status, individuality has become something of a birthright, and a (2) applied upon the face of the media, where it was (3) valued as the American dream.

It is a (7) occurrence when a life is built upon events without this stimulus. Indeed, interaction is the core of experience. Therefore, in order that humans are the sum of their experiences, they must be the sum of the people that they meet, just as well.

17.(8分) Charity Cycling UK recently launched a campaign to raise awareness of dooring after discovering that many people don't know what it is. Dooring is when a driver or passenger opens the door into another road user﹣typically cyclist﹣without looking for other road users.

Cycling UK chief executive Paul Tuohy told Gloucestershire Live: \people seem to see car dooring as a bit of a joke, but it's not and can have serious consequences. Cycling UK wants to see great awareness made about the dangers of opening your car door carelessly, and people to be encouraged to look before they open.\

The charity says 2,009 of the 3,000 injuries were sustained by cyclists, resulting in five fatalities but says this might not be the full extent of the danger. Cycling UK says not all car dooring incidents will be attended by police, so the charity has written to transport minister Jesse Norman calling for a public awareness campaign urging all car occupants, not just drivers, to look before opening vehicle doors. One of the ways the charity suggests is the \reach\, where people leaving a vehicle reach over and use the non﹣door side hand to open the door.

Cycling UK also suggests harsher laws and advice on safer road positioning for people who cycle.
