问题 Happiness is becoming a huge area in psychological research and even in government policy, with the UK government exploring a "happiness index". It’s tough, though, to define exactly what happiness is, and what makes us happy.
   There are two broad ways of looking at happiness: short-term happiness ( a great cookie, a bottle of wine) and long-term happiness (financial security, achieving your goals). Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, they’re often in competition.
   Let’s say you’ve got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know you’d be happier and healthier if you weren’t carrying that extra weight. To achieve long-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though, it’s not that easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer you up at the end of a long day—or to celebrate with friends. It’s the same with lots of other goals.
   If you’ve got a tendency to prioritize long-term happiness at the expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to bring a little joy back into your life. I’m not suggesting that you go out and get drunk every night, or that you stuff with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy yourself. Don’t pin all your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though. There’s no point working a 60-hour week and making yourself thoroughly miserable in the belief that things will be prefect as soon as you’re making a six-figure salary.
The example in Paragraph 3 is meant to emphasize that______.
选项 A、both short-term happiness and long-term happiness are important
B、we tend to seek short-term happiness instead of long-term happiness
C、people prefer long-term happiness to short-term happiness
D、short-term happiness may contradict long-term happiness
答案D
解析 例证题。第三段的例子通过转折词though体现出转折和对比的语义关系，即长期的快乐(减肥)与短期的快乐(每天的加餐)是相悖的。因此，D为正确答案；两者相互之间可能是矛盾的。
