问题 Happiness is becoming a huge area in psychological research and even in government policy, with the UK government exploring a "happiness index". It’s tough, though, to define exactly what happiness is, and what makes us happy.
   There are two broad ways of looking at happiness: short-term happiness ( a great cookie, a bottle of wine) and long-term happiness (financial security, achieving your goals). Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, they’re often in competition.
   Let’s say you’ve got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know you’d be happier and healthier if you weren’t carrying that extra weight. To achieve long-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though, it’s not that easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer you up at the end of a long day—or to celebrate with friends. It’s the same with lots of other goals.
   If you’ve got a tendency to prioritize long-term happiness at the expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to bring a little joy back into your life. I’m not suggesting that you go out and get drunk every night, or that you stuff with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy yourself. Don’t pin all your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though. There’s no point working a 60-hour week and making yourself thoroughly miserable in the belief that things will be prefect as soon as you’re making a six-figure salary.
The author suggests in the last paragraph that sacrificing short-term happiness for long-term happiness______.
选项 A、works well
B、can be justified
C、is not worthwhile
D、makes no difference
答案B
解析 最后一段作者认为为了长期快乐牺牲短期快乐______。推理题。作者认为有很多形式使自己快乐，并且也建议人们寻找其他多种方式来让自己快乐。由此推理可知，作者对“牺牲小乐保长乐”是持不完全支持态度的。故B为正确答案。
