Wetlands do not just do one thing. They perform many processes simultaneously and therefore they provide a suite of values to humans.

How many different kinds of emotions do you feel? You may be【1】to find that it is very hard to specify all of them. Not only【2】hard to describe in words, they are difficult to【3】. As a result, two people rarely【4】all of them. However, there are a number of【5】emotions that most people experience.

When we receive something that we want, or something happens【6】we like, we usually feel joy or happiness. Joy is a positive and powerful emotion,【7】for which we all strive. It is natural to want to be happy, and all of us【8】happiness. As a general【9】, joy occurs when we reach a【10】goal or obtain a desired object.

【11】people often desire different goals and objects, it is【12】that one person may find joy in repairing an automobile,【13】another may find joy in solving a math problem. Of course, we often share【14】goals or interests, and therefore we can experience joy together. This may be in sports, in the arts, in learning, in raising a family, or in【15】being together.

When we have difficulty【16】desired objects or reaching desired goals we experience【17】emotions such as anger and grief. When little things get in our way, we experience【18】frustrations or tensions. For example, if you are dressing to go out【19】a date, you may feel frustration when a zipper breaks or a button falls off. The more difficulty you have in reaching a goal, the more frustrated you may feel and the more angry you may become. If you really want something to happen, and you feel it【20】happen, but someone or something stops it, you may become quite angry.

Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth. The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell. We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems. Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Gambling winnings do not bring happiness. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort. If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will know that it is ill-earned money. If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a base person. Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem. Happiness is not an end; it is a process. It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person. As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” There is no use saying “Someday when I achieve these goals, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something missing.

No man has been more harshly judged than Machiavelli, especially in the two centuries following his death. But he has since found many able champions and the tide has turned. The prince has been termed a manual for tyrants, the effect of which has been most harmful. But were Machiavelli's doctrines really new? Did he discover them? He merely had the frankness and courage to write down what everybody was thinking and what everybody knew. He merely gives us the impressions he had received from a long and intimate intercourse with princes and the affairs of state. It was Lord Bacon who said that Machiavelli tells us what princes do, not what they ought to do. When Machiavelli takes Cassar Borgia as a model, he does not praise him as a hero at all, but merely as a prince who was capable of attaining the end in view. The life of the state was the primary object. It must be maintained. And Machiavelli has laid down the principles, based upon his study and wide experience, by which this may be accomplished. He wrote from the view-point of the politician—not of the moralist. What is good politics may be bad morals, and in fact, by a strange fatality, where morals and politics clash, the latter generally gets the upper hand. And will anyone contend that the principles set forth by Machiavelli in his Prince or his Discourses have entirely per?ished from the earth? Has diplomacy been entirely stripped of fraud and duplicity? Let anyone read the famous eighteenth chapter of The Prince:" In what Manner Princes should Keep their Faith," and he will be convinced that what was true nearly four hundred years ago, is quite as true today.

Of the remaining works of Machiavelli the most important is the History of Florence written between 1521 and 1525, and dedicated to Clement VII.This book is merely a rapid review of the MiddleAges, and as part of it the history of Florence. Machiavelli's method has been criticized for adhering at times too closely to the chroniclers of his time, and at others rejecting their testimony without apparent reason, while in its details the authority of his History is often questionable. It is the straightforward, logical narrative, which always holds the interest of the reader, that is the greatest charm of the History.

It can be inferred from the beginning of the text that

A．many people used to think highly of Machiavelli.

B．Machiavelli had been very influential among the rulers.

C．Machiavelli was widely read among his contemporaries.

D．Machiavelli has been a target of criticism throughout history.
