The trouble is that we get blinded by our Operating System because our Operating System attempts to fit what’s happening around us into expectations.The purpose of the Human Operating System is to show you as much as possible what matches your Operating System. Anything different is resisted as much as it can be.So your Operating System is always full of flaws （瑕庇）. Every flaw you discover and fix in the Operating System is another leap forward in the quality of your life.The evolution of society comes from the fact that each generation rebels against the previous one. And so each generation discovers a flaw and cause an upgrade in our cultural Operating System. The established order in every field and every area of life will find itself challenged. And over time flaw after flaw will be discovered about what we previously believed to be the fact. This is how life progresses and advances.For example, we upgraded our Operating System when we discovered that the world wasn’t flat…when we realized that sanitation（卫生）reduced disease…Now every day there are hundreds of instances when people are making new discoveries and overturning old beliefs. This is the process of life. Living on the edge and pushing the boundaries and so ever expanding.If you want something that you don’t have, it’s your Operating System that blocks it off to you. This means you have to identify the flaw in your Operating System that blocks you from having what you want. Then you transform the structure of your Operating System to let it in. Opportunities are around you all the time. It is only the fact that you aren’t seeing the opportunities that stops you from getting what you want.Upgrading your Operating System is training it to show you the opportunities all around you. And then life becomes like picking fruit from a tree.64．The author gets his idea across by .A．talking about how to operate computersB．pointing out the common mistakes we makeC．talking about the trouble with Operating SystemD．comparing human brains to Operating System65．According to the author, our society progresses because .A．the young approve of what their ancestors didB．younger generations put the wrong things rightC．computers have updated old Operating SystemD．all the old computers are replaced by new ones66．What does the author mean by saying “we upgraded our Operating System when we discovered that the world wasn’t flat”?A．New discoveries improve our understanding of the world.B．Scientific explorations help human beings make progress.C．We make better computers after we know the world better.D．That the earth proved round was a breakthrough in history.67．Which of the following is wrong about our Operating System?A．The secrets of happiness all exist in our Operating System.B．Our Operating System is seldom full of flawsC．Our Operating System tries to fit what’s happening around us into our expectations.D．The flaw in your Operating System can block you from having what you want.DHealthy eating begins with learning how to “eat smart”.

That at least is the opinion of a new book written by a group of Chinese authors.China Is Not Happy was released in March. It is a follow-up to the 1996 work China Can Say No, a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West, and the US in particular, onChina. Thirteen years later, the authors of China Is Not Happy list their dissatisfaction with how China is being treated in the world today. They argue that China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own position of outstanding performances. "From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this world. Westerners should be second," the book says.The authors, single out the US for special scorn (轻蔑), and say their book's message has been helped by the economic crisis. "This economic problem has shown the Chinese people that America does have problems, and that what we've been saying is right," said Wang Xiaodong, one of the authors in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.Since being released on March 13, the book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores. The publisher has printed 270,000 copies, and says sales are far better than expected.Yet much of the response to the book has been negative. Several reviews in the Chinese media have criticized the book's radical opinions. The book is a way to "fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly," wrote one critic in the China Youth Daily. Meanwhile, a well-known sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism (爱国精神), but there is a limit.Wang Xiaodong admitted in an interview that the book’s title is a bit of a trick. “Those words in the title are just for the purpose of promoting the book in the maretplace,” he says. “We didn’t choose them.72.
