Question

15．[1]Many people spend a lot of time making money because they believe the money itself will make them happy，or will guard them against things that will make them unhappy．They make great efforts to achieve that perfect relationship，the perfect house，the beautiful body，the approval of others，all in an attempt to be happy．
[2]Sometimes these things make people happy； other times，people stress over not having reached the goals，or reach them and find they're still unhappy．Other times，people focus on just one goal and don't have time for other things that will make them truly happy．
[3]Some experts studying human happiness and the factors that contribute to it have identified several key areas of life that seem to be more related to personal happiness．Some of them are the things like money，friends，health and living conditions； others are things you may not think of in your daily life，such as your neighborhood and sense of meaning in life．
[4]So while setting your goals，remember all of the areas of life that are important to you and find a balanced lifestyle including social support，personal development，physical health and meaningful pursuits（追求） besides career success and financial security．_____________，your attitude about life and the things that happen to you each day can also have a great effect on your level of happiness and life satisfaction．In addition to being optimistic，happy people tend to believe they are the masters of their fate，rather than the victims of circumstance．
[5]Explore the state of your life，assess how truly happy you are，and find a direction to work toward that will likely bring more happiness．Reach your goals，set new ones and live a life that truly makes you happy．

Answer 1

分析 本文讲述的是在我们的人生中，金钱等物质无法购买到幸福，幸福是一种个人的态度和追求．

解答 76．Many people make great efforts to make money in an attempt to be happy．
77．People focus on just one goal and don't have time for other things that will make them truly happy．
78．Moreover/What's more/In addition．
79．No，because it's very common that people surrounded by expensive cars and designer clothes still have less personal satisfaction with life than they had without all the things．
80．实现你的目标，设定新的目标，过一种能够真正使你幸福的生活．
解析：
76．答案Many people make great efforts to make money in an attempt to be happy．段落大意题．根据本段第一句Many people spend a lot of time making money because they believe the money itself will make them happy．许多人花很多时间来赚钱，因为他们相信金钱能够带来幸福．
77．答案People focus on just one goal and don't have time for other things that will make them truly happy．同义替换题．本句是指只坚持一件事情的人很难从别的事情中得到快乐．故与文章第三段中的people focus on just one goal and don't have time for other things that will make them truly happy．意义相同．
78．答案Moreover/What's more/In addition．考查逻辑连接词．上下文是递进关系，横线前面是个人发展，社会关系等外在的内容，后面讲述的是内在的态度．故上下文是递进关系，使用Moreover/What's more/In addition．
79．答案No，because it's very common that people surrounded by expensive cars and designer clothes still have less personal satisfaction with life than they had without all the things．细节理解题．本题首先要明确说明金钱买不来幸福．因为物质方面的东西不等同于个人幸福．
80．答案：实现你的目标，设定新的目标，过一种能够真正使你幸福的生活．考查翻译．本题的关键是对3个并列结构的翻译，以及句中几个生词在上下文中的合理解释．
