问题    You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’ s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel a sense of achievement, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.
   The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving so as to achieve real happiness is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call "being" and "having" values. Your "being" values are the character traits(特征) , of the ideal person you would like to be. An example of some "being" values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values, you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by "being" a positive role model. Mastering "being" these character traits becomes your life purpose.
   Your "having" values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, "being" valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.
   When you make a commitment to live by your "being" values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary (保守的) ones. If your usual habit is to complain about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate(沉思) , or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.
   When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, but you reinforce (增强)your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.
The underlined word "void" in paragraph 1 probably means______.
选项 A、a feeling of emptiness
B、a loss of power
C、a lack of energy
D、a state of being confused
答案A
解析 语义题。文章第一段说如果你一味索取，你永远不会有成就感，因此你将总是在寻找填补生活空虚的方法。选项A(一种空虚感)符合文章内容，故答案为A。选项B(权力的丧失)、选项C(能量的缺乏)和选项D(混乱的状态)都不是能填补的东西，并且和文章所表达的意思不相符，故排除。
