Lego，the inventor of those colorful bricks that have inspired kids‘ imagination worldwide，has celebrated its 53rd anniversary.
In 1958，a man named Godtfred created the plastic building bricks that can now be found in almost every child‘s toy box. The simple building block has become one of the most well -known and popular toys around the world.
“The Lego brick continues to be very attractive，because it allows children，and others，to develop their creativity and imagination，” said Charlotte Simonsen，a spokeswoman of Lego.
The company‘s building brick allows an endless number of links. With just two bricks there are 24 different links，and with six，there are 915 million possibilities，according to Lego.
A half century after its creation，more than 400 million children and adults spend five billion hours a year putting the bricks together and pulling them apart. Also，the bricks made today can still link with those made in 1958.
Lego bricks aren‘t just child‘s play: they also attract the interest of adults. South Korean adventurer，Heo Young Ho，who climbed Mount Everest in 1987，left a Lego toy behind in the snow during his climb.
After its great success Lego experienced a serious crisis（危机）at the end of the 1990s，hit hard by competition from electronic games. Lego then suffered a dark period that lasted several years.
With great efforts，the company began to be popular again，and in 2006 it earned about 1.5 billion dollars in 130 countries. Seven boxes of Lego are now sold every second around the world，and 19 billion bricks are produced each year: enough to encircle the Earth five times!

C．The Attraction of Lego Bricks
D．Children and Lego Bricks
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
71. People who are unhappy _______.
A. always consider things differently from others
B. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. usually are affected by the results of certain things
72. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.
A. make others unhappy B. have a good taste with social life
C. tend to scold(责骂) others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
73. We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
74. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.
A. show no respect and politeness to them
B. prevent any communication with them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

C. suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D. tells people how to be happy in life
