Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, so the day after is a Friday. This day has e to be known as Black Friday. It has been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005.Most stores offer great deals on Black Friday. They open their doors very early in the morning. They try to attract shoppers with big discounts. Some products like TVs are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these products. They hope that shoppers will buy gifts for other people while they are in the store.Black Friday is a great time to get good deals. The problem is that there are not enough lowpriced products to go around. Each store may only have a few. People stand in long lines to get such great deals, but not everyone who wants one will get one. Some people look crestfallen as they leave.Some Black Friday events have been violent. Large crowds have trampled ( 踩 踏 )workers. Fights have broken out over toys or people cutting in line. But most Black Friday events are safe and fun. Still, if you plan on going, expect large crowds.The name “Black Friday” was first used in Philadelphia in the 1950s. Police officers called this day Black Friday because of the heavy traffic it drew. In the 1960s, stores tried to rename the day “Big Friday”. It did not stick. The name “Black Friday” continued to be used across the country. It seems that it is here to stay.Now people all over the country take part in Black Friday.

Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasure. There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings, and sometimes one causes the other, but they are not the same. Pleasure is more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them.When you are happy, little unpleasant events usually do not bother you. When you are unhappy, you feel as if everything is against you. You may pensate (補償)for it byeating chocolates and sweets because this gives you pleasure, yet you stay unhappy. A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him pleasure, yet this does not make him happier, especially if he knows the fact that it is not good for his health.The physical world is always in a changing state. At each moment a new thing is being created, changed, transformed and then destroyed. This is the normal state of things and no one can change it. If we stay still in a certain state, we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later. On the other hand, if we adjust to the environment, nothing can influence our moods. Then outer events have nothing to do with our inner joy of mind.The room of the mind is filled with worry or fear. If you are free of thinking about them, the room has been emptied, and then you will see what is happening and experience it. When your mind stays quiet, you will see that happiness es from the inside.39。聽每段對話或獨白前,你將有時間閱讀各個小題,每小題 5 秒鐘;聽完后,各 小題將給出 5 秒鐘的作答時間。每段對話后有一個小題,從題中所給的 A、B、C 三個選項中 選出最佳選項,并標(biāo)在試卷的相應(yīng)位置。6.
