问题     A proverb allegedly from ancient China was widely spread in the
West "If you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if
you want lifetime happiness, take up gardening." The reason for the
last option is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to
identify yourself to nature, and thus brings you new joy each day【M1】______
besides improving your health.
    A research of a US university that I’ve read gives a definition
of happiness as what makes a person to feel comfortably pleased.【M2】______
To put it generally, happiness is an active state of mind where【M3】______
one thinks one’s life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable.
This should be something lasted rather than transitory.【M4】______
    Lots of people regard the happiest to be at leisure. But according【M5】______
to a study, it is not a person with a plenty of leisure but one at work【M6】______
that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time
for leisure. Happiness does not spell gains one is after but a desire
to harvesting what one is seeking for. People often do not cherish【M7】______
what they already have but yearn to what they cannot get. That is【M8】______
somewhat like a man indulging in fond dreams of numerous lovers
while reluctant to settle with the woman beside him. Happiness is a【M9】______
game balanced between two ends—what one has and what one【M10】______
wishes for, e.g. one’s dream and the possibility to realize it.
【M7】
选项
答案harvesting→harvest
解析 词汇错误。desire to do sth．此时to不是介词，而是不定式标志，后接动词原形。
