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’ve 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. 33. As people grow older, they_________
A. associate their happiness less with others B. feel it harder to experience happiness C. will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness D. tend to believe responsibility means happiness
34. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?
A. She cares little about her own health B. She enjoys the freedom of traveling C. She prefers getting pleasure from housework D. She is easily pleased by things in daily life 35. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Happiness lies between the positive and the negative B. Each man is the master of his own fate C. Success leads to happiness D. Happy is he who is content 三、七选五（共5题，每题2分，满分10分）
