Each of us has a picture, however vague, of what we would like to accomplish before we die. How close we get to attaining this goal becomes the measure for the quality of our lives. If it remains beyond reach, we grow resentful; if it is at least in part achieved, we experience a sense of happiness and satisfaction.
For the majority of people on this earth, life goals are simple: to survive, to leave children who will in turn survive, and, if possible, to do so with a certain amount of comfort and dignity. 【F1】
In the drought-stricken regions of Africa, among the millions of Africans who have to solve the problem of hunger day after day, there is not much else to hope for.
【F2】
But as soon as these basic problems of survival are solved, merely having enough food and a comfortable shelter is no longer sufficient to make people content.
New needs are felt, new desires arise. 【F3】
With affluence and power come escalating expectations, and as our level of wealth and comforts keeps increasing, the sense of well-being we hoped to achieve keeps receding into the distance.
This paradox of rising expectations suggests that improving the quality of life might be an hopeless task. In fact, there is no inherent problem in our desire to escalate our goals, as long as we enjoy the struggle along the way. 【F4】
The problem arises when people are so obsessed with what they want to achieve that they cease to derive pleasure from the present.
When that happens, they forfeit their chance of contentment.
Though the evidence suggests that most people are caught up on this frustrating treadmill of rising expectations, many individuals have found ways to escape it 【F5】
These are people who, regardless of their material conditions, have been able to improve the quality of their lives, who are satisfied, and who have a way of making those around them also a bit more happy.
Such individuals lead vigorous lives, are open to a variety of experiences, keep on learning until the day they die, and have strong ties and commitments to other people and to the environment in which they live. They enjoy whatever they do, even if tedious or difficult; they are hardly ever bored, and they can take in stride anything that comes their way. Perhaps their greatest strength is that they are in control of their lives.
【F4】

答案
但人们太着迷于他们想实现的东西以至于停止从现实获取快乐时,问题就会出现。
解析
