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. [br] Which of the following does NOT belong to your "having" values?
选项 A、Your success in the competition.
B、The support from your friends.
C、Your own peaceful mind.
D、The friendship with others.
答案 C
解析 细节题。根据文章第三段前两句可知，“拥有”价值观是为了快乐而需要创造的情感。可以是友谊、成就、支持、被重视或财产上的安全。选项A(在比赛中获胜)是成就感，属于“拥有”价值观，故排除。选项B(朋友们的支持)、选项D(与他人的友谊)均属于“拥有”价值观，故排除。选项C(自己平和的心态)属于“成为”价值观，故答案为C。
