    When asked about happiness, we usually think of someth.ng extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.

    For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved (毫无掩饰的).

    In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.

    In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的).

    My definition of happiness is "the capacity for enjoyment". The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.

    I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which 1 love. When the kids and my husband came home, 1 enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.

    Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I don't think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.

    We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we've got to have. We're so self-conscious about our "right" to it that it's making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.

    Happiness isn't about what happens to us―it's about how we see what happens to us. It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.

    51. As people grow older, they ______.

    A. feel it harder to experience happiness

    B. associate their happiness less with others

    C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness

    D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness

    53. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 5 and 6?

    A. She cans little about ha own health

    B. She enjoys the freedom of trawling

    C. She is easily pleased by things in daily life.

    D. She prefers getting pleasure from housework

    53. What can be inferred from Paragraph 7?

    A. Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness

    B. Psychologists* opinion is well proved by Grandma's case.

    C. Grandma often found time for social gatherings

    D. Grandma's happiness came from modest expectations of life,
    54. People who equal happiness with wealth and success

    A. consider pressure something blocking their way

    B. stress their right to happiness too much

    C. arc at a loss to make correct choices

    D. arc more likely to be happy

    55. What can be concluded from the passage?

    A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative.

    B. Each nun is the master of his own fate

    C. Success leads to happiness.

    D. Hippy is he who is content.

    You've heard of the fat suit and the pregnancy suit；now meet AGNES—the old person suit．
    AGNES stands for “Age Gain Now Empathy(换位体验) System” and was designed by researchers at MIT's AgeLab to let you know what it feels like—physically—to be 75 years old．“The business of old age demands new tools，”said Joseph Coughlin，director of the AgeLab．“While focus groups and observations and surveys can help you understand what the older consumer needs and wants，young marketers never get that‘Ah ha!’moment of having difficulty opening a jar, or getting in and out of a car．That’s what AGNES provides．”
    Coughlin and his team carefully adjusted the suit to make the wearer just as uncomfortable as an old person who has spent a lifetime eating poorly and not doing much exercise．Special shoes provide a feeling of imbalance，while braces on the knees and elbows limit joint mobility．Gloves give the feeling of decreased strength and mobility in the hands and wrists，and earplugs make it difficult to hear high—pitched sounds and soft tones．A helmet with straps(带)attached to it presses the spine(脊柱)，and more straps attached to the shoes decrease hamstring flexibility, and shortens the wearer's step．
    AGNES has been used most recently by a group of students working on a design of an updated walker．By wearing the suit they could see for themselves what design and materials would make the most sense for a physically limited older person．Coughlin said the suit has also been used by clothing companies，car companies and retail goods companies to help them understand the limitations of an older consumer．
    “AGNES is not the destiny of everybody,” he said．“She is a badly behaved lady who didn't eat and exercise very well．A secondary benefit we’ve found with AGNES is that it has become a powerful tool to get younger people to invest in their long-term health．”
    【小题1】AGNES has been developed to       ．

    A．make the users more comfortable
    B．1et us understand old people better
    C．help old people move more quickly
    D．produce new tools for the old-age business
    【小题2】“An updated walker”(underlined)most likely refers to    ．
    A．someone who travels a lot
    B．a physically limited old person
    C．some equipment that helps old people walk
    D．a company whose service involves old people
    【小题3】Which may be a fact resulting from the “secondary benefit” of AGNES?
    A．Young people respect old people．
    B．Old-age business improves their service
    C．Old people eat and exercise well．
    D．Young people eat and exercise well．

    A policeman was questioning 3 blondes who were training to become detectives． To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for5 seconds and then hides it．
    “This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"
    The first blonde answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!" The policeman says, "Well．．．uh．．．that's because the picture shows his profile．"
    Slightly confused by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"
    The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"
    The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two? Of course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because it's a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?"
    Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer．"
    The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "Hmmmm…the suspect wears contact lenses．"
    The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not． "Well, that's an interesting answer．．．wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I’ll get back to you on that．" He leaves the room and goes to his ．office, checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face． "Wow!  I can't believe it．．．it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses． Good work! How were you able to make such an acute observation?"
    "That's easy," the blonde replied． "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear．"
