问题     Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent investigations, sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy, one in twenty persons feel very happy. Psychologists have been studying the factors contributing to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.
    A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously under-educated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs. The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college education are somewhat happier than those who didn’t graduate from high schools, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a very high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.
    It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level, no matter where it stands at a "given time. The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.
The second paragraph is written to tell us that______.
选项 A、happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation
B、well-educated people are not happy
C、happiness lies in a good education and a high income
D、the middle-income group are the happiest people
答案C
解析 这是一道主旨题。和一般主旨题所不同的是，这道题要求回答第二段的大意。答题时先要仔细阅读题干限定的段落，注意该段落的首句和尾句，也就是段落主题句通常出现的地方。阅读第二段，可以得出段落的第一句话“良好的教育和不错的收入通常被认为是幸福所必需的”就是该段的主题句，说明该段讲述教育、收入与幸福的关系，也就是选项C所表达的内容。选项A“幸福不一定和一个人所处的环境有关”出现在第一段。而文章中并没有提到选项B“接受良好教育的人不幸福”和选项D“中等收入的人最幸福”。
