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 word "prioritize" (last paragraph) probably means"______".
选项
A、treat something as more important than others
B、improve something’s value or quality
C、put extra emphasis on something
D、look for something that is difficult to find
答案
A
解析
词汇题。最后一段首句大意是:如果有意以牺牲每天的快乐来______长期快乐,你就应该开始尝试寻找方式让自己的生活有些小快乐。因此,“prioritize”是牺牲的反义词,有“重视”的含义,即将其置于优先的位置考虑。A为正确选项。
