问题     It takes a whole galaxy of things to make you happy. Happiness is a state you feel when you have no problems, worries, doubts or other negative things affecting your life. You do not need to receive great news, excitement or wealth: it comes from enjoying life whatever it brings. Someone who has mastered the art of happiness will enjoy sitting with a cup of coffee and a cheese sandwich. The person who has mastered being sad will always want more and dream of more but never achieve it.
    A person who has won a fortune on the lottery might be happy, but if they then begin to worry about the best way of looking after that money, whether or not to invest all of it or most of it, where to invest it or how to get rid of the many people who pester them for hand outs, their happiness might be short lived. Another person might be happy because they enjoy their job, have some great friends and a wonderful partner and no debts.
    In a way the more we want and the more we think we are entitled to, the less likely we are to be happy. If we can accept that we will have bad days as well as good days, and that nobody’ s life runs smoothly, then we have the key to happiness. If we are proactive about defining our goals and making them happen we are more likely to be happy.
    Contrary to popular belief happiness is not about being rich, young, good looking, fit and healthy. There are people who are blind, very poor and have lots of problems, yet they are happy because they make the most of their lives, concentrate on the good things and do what they can about the bad. Instead of worrying about all sorts of things that might never happen or dwelling on the negatives in their life, they are grateful for anything good and nice that comes their way.
    Happiness is about being proud of who you are, respecting yourself, respecting your background, your persona and all that goes with it. Not how much money you have or how hard you work. Many convince themselves that they will be happy next year or when they retire and have a lot more time. But then when the year is up or they retire they are still not happy. That is because they do not see the good in things.
The author argues that a sad person
选项 A、suffers from a psychological disorder
B、is dissatisfied with whatever he’s got
C、tends to cause sadness or low spirits
D、behaves in an unfortunate manner
答案B
解析 根据第一段最后一句“The person who has mastered being sad will always want more anddream of more but never achieve it”和第三段第一句“In a way the more we want and the more wethink we are entitled to，the less likely we are to be happy”可知，可悲的人无论得到什么也不满足，要得越多越不幸福。所以，B应为答案。
