Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?
Many have sought a variety of sources for their feeling of happiness. Some have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many turned to drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile, untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic vacation homes and other popular "toys". Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.
Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, "I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion," or "I’11 be happy when I get that extra 20 pounds." It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a "response" to having, being or doing something.
In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Today, some people think that an expensive car is stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: "I’ll be happy when ..."
It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is not a response but a stimulus.
Happiness is a conscious choice we make in daily life. For unknown reasons to me, many choose to be upset and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want—we usually get things we want after we choose to be happy.
From the second paragraph, we know too many people______.
选项
A、are not happy when they work hard
B、are not happy when they drink or take drugs
C、all desire exotic vacation homes
D、are happy when they possess their own expensive cars
答案
D
解析
细节题。第二段告诉我们:很多人喜欢致力于工作,许多人喜欢吸食毒品或者酗酒,因为他们觉得快乐,所以A、B两项错误;第二段还告诉我们:许许多多的人只要拥有了自己昂贵的汽车后,他们就找到了快乐,所以D项正确。而C项与原文叙述不符,太绝对化。
