If yu seek happiness, then yu need t knw what happiness is fr yu. I dn’t believe there is ne universal definitin f happiness. Happiness is a very subjective emtin, accrding t me. Put tw peple in identical situatin: same amunt f mney, life experiences, etc. and yu can be pretty sure that they bth wuldn’t feel equally happy r equally sad. I believe this is s because there are tw kinds f happiness. There is ne kind f happiness, which is kind f universal and then there is the ther kind, which is very individual t each ne f us. It is this kind f happiness that I find mre interesting.
The secnd kind f happiness that I talk abut cmes frm ur expectatins ut f ur lives, which vary frm persn t persn. Fr example, a persn wh expects a lt ut f his r her life may find that happiness is hard t find. They are cnstantly in search f these things in life, which always seem t elude (逃避) them. Thse things may be mney r fame r pwer r any f the ther pursuits (追求) that humans have, but it wuld be likely that such peple are less likely t be happy, if their gals are nt met. In mst cases, even after their gals are met, they dn’t find happiness, because they seek mre—new gals, new wish lists, and it’s a seemingly never-ending prcess fr them!
On the ther hand a persn wh takes life as it cmes alng and makes the best f each day is mre likely t be happy every day. They have n pressure r gals t ccupy their minds and they can achieve happiness frm the simple pleasures f everyday life, finding lve, making time fr the family and kids, seeing their kids grw, etc. Of curse, that desn’t mean that yu shuldn’t have any expectatins at all. Yu shuld keep thse expectatins reasnable and manageable.
46. Which f the fllwing is the authr’s pinin accrding t Paragraph 1?
A. Happiness has ne universal definitin.
B. Every individual has his wn happiness.
C. There are n peple wh are really happy.
D. Happiness means having mney and pwer.
47. What des the underlined part “these things” in Paragraph 2 prbably refer t?
A. Daily demands.B. Life experiences.
C. Ideas abut happiness.D. Expectatins ut f life.
48. Even if their gals are met, sme peple still dn’t feel happy because _________.
A. they gave t much fr their gals
B. they dn’t knw what happiness is
C. they have new gals that need achieving
D. they think sadness is a never-ending prcess
49. What kind f persn is likely t be happy in the authr’s pinin?
A. He wh has few expectatins.B. He wh has n pressure r gals.
C. He wh has a great ambitin r dream.D. He wh can find fun frm his daily life.
50. The authr writes this passage mainly t tell readers _________.
A. the definitin f happiness
B. the imprtance f happiness
C. t enjy every day t the fullest
D. t give up their dreams and be practical
