问题     In study after study, four traits are【C1】______of happy people. First, happy people, especially in【C2】______Western cultures, like themselves. On self-esteem tests, they agree with statements such as "I’m a lot of fun to be with" and "I have good ideas".【C3】______we might expect of people who are usually happy, they report that they have positive self-esteem. Indeed, they usually have a good【C4】______of themselves: They believe themselves to be more ethical, more intelligent,【C5】______prejudiced, better able to get along with others, and healthier than the【C6】______person.
    Second, happy people typically feel【C7】______control. Feeling empowered rather than helpless, they also do better in school,【C8】______more at work, and cope better with stress. 【C9】______control over one’s life—a phenomenon studied【C10】______prisoners, nursing-home patients, etc. —people【C11】______lower morale (士气) and worse health. Severe poverty is depressing if it destroys people’s【C12】______of control over their life.
    Third, happy people are usually optimistic. One could reason that pessimists, 【C13】______low expectations are so often【C14】______would constantly be surprised by joy. "Blessed is【C15】______who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed," wrote poet Alexander Pope in a 1727 letter.【C16】______, positive-thinking optimists, those who agree that "when I【C17】______something new, I expect to succeed" tend to be more successful, healthier, and happier.
    Fourth, happy people are extroverted.【C18】______we might expect that introverts live more happily in the peacefulness of their less-stressed contemplative (思考的) lives, extroverts are happier-whether living and working【C19】______or with others and whether living in【C20】______or metropolitan areas.
