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 fulfilled, 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 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 of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. 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 ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, 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, you reinforce 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.

(答案→)B 解析：本文论述了保持给予和索取平衡的重要性和如何保持平衡的方法。【小题1】主旨大意题。只有保持平衡合理，才能使人感到舒适快乐，真正幸福，因此介绍保持平衡的方法是帮助读者获得真正的快乐，所以选B【小题2】细节题。由第二段的By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model.可知，因为养成一种快乐积极的个性，才能使一个人愉快的与他人交流合作，才能实现自我价值，所以选D【小题3】词义理解题。根据上下文这句话的意思是你总是在寻找填补生活中空虚的方法，void意为空虚，所以选A【小题4】细节题。根据第三段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.唯一没提到的是your own peaceful mind,所以选C【小题5】推断题。从第四段的A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding可推断出一个冷静的人总是会沉思，找出缺点或错误所在，而不是怨天尤人，所以选C
