Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: In my experience, one of the greatest reasons of unhappiness is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.When we see something we don't like, we wish it could be different-we cry out for something better.That may be human nature, or perhaps it's something that has been grown in our culture. The root of the unhappiness isn't that we want things to be different, however, it's that we decided we didn't like it in the first place.We've judged it as bad, rather than saying, "It's not bad or good, but it just is." Here is an example.I have written a paper, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind.Quite a few people think it bad after reading it because I think people should expect things to go differently than you planned, and that you should accept that, instead of encouraging people to change themselves or the environment as much as possible.You could accept it as the way the world works-as the way things actually are.And try to understand why that is, and follow it, as it is. This can be useful to whatever you do: whether it be how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they're that way. It'll save you a lot of sadness because you'll no longer say, "Oh, I wish things didn't go bad!" If you really understand what I mean, you can try a different way to live in this world:accept, and understand.It might lead to some interesting results. Question: What is the major reason why we feel unhappy in the writer's opinion? Options: A: We are never satisfied with ourselves and the environment around us. B: When we see something that makes us unhappy, we don't know what to do. C: We feel hard to accept the way things happen themselves. D: No matter how happy we are, we never want to be happy.
Ans: C

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: As the only physician in a small local clinic and hospital, Katrina Poe sees dozens of patients on any given day. She's on call at the hospital in Kilmichael every day, and she gets little time with her sons, aged 3 and 3 months. But the country doctor doesn't complain about her job. It's the one she chose for herself 25 years ago while she was a fifth-grader in Kilmicahael. The daughter of two workers in a town that had produced only two other doctors, Poe might not have been expected to go to college at all, let alone medical school. But it was a challenge at first, being the town's first female and first black doctor. She even had patients who refused to see her at first. But a lot of those patients who were unwilling in the beginning are now some of her most favorite patients and have accepted her, finally. Many patients, in fact, now refuse to seek health care elsewhere. Though she's working at least 80 hours a week, Poe is sorry that she sometimes has to turn patients away. "I just can't see everybody," she says. "I'm seeing patients after hours, so it's just very busy." In addition to her work at the hospital and clinic, Poe cares for all residents of the local nursing home and the local mental health facility during monthly visits. "This town and the little hospital are fortunate to have her," says Calvin Johnson, Poe's husband. He says it is without a doubt "the love and support of the people" that make living in Kilmichael worthwhile for the family. In recognition of her services to rural medicine, the Texas-based physician staffing firm Staff Care Inc. named Poe, 35, the "2005 Country Doctor of the Year."
