Unit 16 B卷
一、阅读理解
A
Mary McGuire-Wien and her husband,Charles Wildbank,had been searching for a new home on Long Island for more than a year,but every place they’d seen was either unsuitable or unaffordable.After one long Sunday of unsuccessful house-hunting with their agent,the couple were anxious to get back home,but got stuck at a traffic light right next to an old barn that was being repaired.“A guy in a hard hat looked over at us and said,‘Are you looking for a house ?’”says Mary.
Though the barn didn’t look like a house—it didn’t even have any visible windows—Mary and her husband got out to take a look.The building turned out to be loftlike,with beautiful historical details(including back-facing windows).“A normal family probably wouldn’t want it,”says Mary.“But it was absolutely perfect for us because we needed a space where I could have a yoga(瑜伽)retreat,and where Charles could paint.”They agreed to buy the place from the construction worker,who turned out to be the barn’s owner.
Mary and Charles could be considered fortunate—what are the chances that the owner would stop them when they were most in need of a home?And yet,they were the ones who agreed to investigate an unlikely prospect.Their open-mindedness turned a strange moment into a lucky break.
People who find and seize opportunities are different.They are more open to life’s forking(分叉的)paths,so they see possibilities others miss.And if things don’t work out the way they’d hoped,they brush_off disappointment and launch themselves toward the next fortunate circumstance.As a result,they’re happier and more likely to achieve their goals.
Psychologists are figuring out why some people always seem to miss incredible opportunities.Their insights can help us all lead luckier lives.
