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 - in- come group or even those with very low incomes. People with college education are somewhat happier than those who didn’t graduated 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 to self - esteem.
The italicized word " they " in the second paragraph refers to________.

选项 A、recent investigations
B、psychologists
C、education and income
D、mood and state of mind

答案C

解析这是一道有关语意的题型。根据短文第二段的前两句话“A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness．Though both may contribute，they are only chief factors if the pemon is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs．”意思是：良好的教育和收入通常被认为是幸福所必需的，尽管这两者可能对幸福有影响，但只有当一个人严重缺乏教育或物质需求不能得以满足时，他们才是幸福与否的主要因素。由此可以判断出“they”所指的是教育和收入，因此选项C正确。
