If the developing-world Colombians are happy mostly because they really like to be and the developed-world Japanese are not so happy because, for them, personal happiness isn’t part of the plan, it would seem to follow that one’s happiness has little to do with material well-being and a lot to do win attitude — at least when it comes to filling out surveys. The planet’s happiest souls, as determined by the World Happiness Database at Rotterdam’s Erasmus University, are the Danes, the Swiss and the Maltese, all of whom score 8 on a 10-point scale of happiness. Most of Asians, including the Japanese, score 6 on this measure, while troubled Pakistan is near the bottom at 4.3.
Biswas-Diener agrees that attitude counts, but also notes that highly developed nations, as a group, score consistently high, suggesting that it doesn’t hurt a country to pave its highways and disinfect its water supply. Democracy, as measurement tor most of the world, is a sure guide to happiness. And there are no superpowers when it comes to happiness. The U.S. is pretty active, but in the study of international college students, it ranked the eighth, tied with Slovenia. It would appear that merely living as if you are No.1, and running around the world shouting you are No.1, doesn’t mean that you feel like No.1 inside.
Even Biswas-Diener cautions that national-happiness rankings are crude instruments. That’s especially true when comparing West with East, cultures where the pursuit of happiness is a national obsession (迷恋) with cultures where, as the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tze put it, "happiness is the absence of the longing for happiness". Still, if you belong to one of the highest-ranking countries, you’ll enjoy gazing at the big scoreboard and thinking about the source of your collective joy. Whereas, if your motherland fares badly, you might want to consider spending more time in Denmark.
Danes are happier than Japanese because______.
选项
A、they take a more positive attitude to life
B、they do not need to work so hard
C、they are a lot wealthier
D、they are from Europe
答案
A
解析
本题为细节题。从文中第一段第一句的后半句“it would seem to follow that one’s happiness has little to do with material well—being and a lot to do with attitude…”可知幸福与否似乎和财富无关,但和态度倒是有很大关系,由此选项A.they take a more positive attitude to life为正确答案。其他三个选项的内容在文章中没有明确说明,因此不能作为本题的答案。
