问题     A proverb allegedly from ancient China was widely spread in the
West "If you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if
you want lifetime happiness, take up gardening." The reason for the
last option is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to
identify yourself to nature, and thus brings you new joy each day【M1】______
besides improving your health.
    A research of a US university that I’ve read gives a definition
of happiness as what makes a person to feel comfortably pleased.【M2】______
To put it generally, happiness is an active state of mind where【M3】______
one thinks one’s life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable.
This should be something lasted rather than transitory.【M4】______
    Lots of people regard the happiest to be at leisure. But according【M5】______
to a study, it is not a person with a plenty of leisure but one at work【M6】______
that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time
for leisure. Happiness does not spell gains one is after but a desire
to harvesting what one is seeking for. People often do not cherish【M7】______
what they already have but yearn to what they cannot get. That is【M8】______
somewhat like a man indulging in fond dreams of numerous lovers
while reluctant to settle with the woman beside him. Happiness is a【M9】______
game balanced between two ends—what one has and what one【M10】______
wishes for, e.g. one’s dream and the possibility to realize it.
【M9】
选项
答案∧with→down
解析 词汇错误。settle down是一个固定短语，意思是“过安定或宁静的生活，安定下来”。此句大意为：男人喜欢沉湎于与无数情人周旋的美梦而不愿意和身边的女人平静地过日子。
