  Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference.Our feelings of well-being at any moment are decided to a certain degree by genes.However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.

  Money can buy a degree of happiness.But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.

  Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier.But the link between money and happiness is complex(复杂的).In the past half-century, the average income(平均收入)has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same.Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.

  “Dollars buy status(social position), and status makes people feel better,”say some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways, scientists or actors, for example, may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.

In his research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires(欲望), not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health, rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap(差距).Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone.“The gap measures just blow away the measures of only income.”says Michalos.

  Another factor that has to do with happiness is age.Old age may not be so bad“Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?”asks Professor Laura Carstensen.In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotion questionnaire.She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people.Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they’re more realistic about their time running out.Older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don’t.

  “People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,”she says.“A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”

(1)

Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs ________

[  ]

A.

make them feel much better

B.

provide chances to make friends

C.

improve their social position

satisfy their professional interests

the gap between reality and desire is bigger

B.

they have a stronger desire for friendship

C.

the hope for good health is much greater

D.

their income is far below their expectation

(3)

We can infer from the passage that older people ________.

[  ]

A.

would like to have more goodbye kisses than young people

B.

are used to living a hard life because they are kind to others

C.

express their positive opinions just as some young people do

D.

find it easier to feel happy because they are more realistic

(4)

According to the passage, the feeling of happiness ________

[  ]

A.

increases gradually with age

B.

is controlled partly by desires

C.

has little to do with wealth

“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these people only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. Many of them were very poor when they were young, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend on them for education. They tried their best to learn something and never gave up till they became well-known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”
Some young men don’t try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beings. If they see their weak points and change their ways, they can be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as(只要) they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on themselves.
【小题1】Why did many men succeed?

A.Because they had good education.
B.Because they wanted very much to become well-known.
C.Because they worked hard.
D.Because their families were very rich.
【小题2】What can a teacher do according to the famous teacher in England?
A.A teacher can make his pupils men of strength and courage.
B.A teacher can make his pupils worthy.
C.A teacher can help his pupils become well-known.
D.A teacher can do nothing.
【小题3】If young people depend on their own efforts, _______________.
A.they are sure to be very famous in the world
B.they can be successful in their lives
C.they no longer need help
D.they are sure to fail
【小题4】What can we learn about the writer from the passage?
A.He thinks highly of those who are working hard to be successful.
B.He thinks highly of parents and teachers.
C.He wants to be a famous scientist.
D.He thinks highly of those who are poor.
