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] The main purpose of this passage is to______.
选项 A、persuade the readers to make a commitment

解析 主旨题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了两种价值观，并且告诉大家只有保持接受和给予的平衡，才能感到最幸福。选项B(告诉读者如何才能真正感到快乐)符合文意，故答案为B。选项A(说服读者做出承诺)、选项C(向读者解释个人价值是什么)和选项D(指导读者如何做出明智的选择)均不符合文章主旨，故排除。
