A
(2021·浙江高三月考)Our brain desn’t knw hw t be happy, r even cntent. It simply lacks the genetic instructins t carry ut that task. It knws hw t d a millin ther less imprtant things, frm writing a letter t maintaining ur balance; frm appreciating the music f Bach t smelling a rse, but if yu ask the brain t be happy, it simply desn’t knw hw t respnd.
This is because the genetic cde is nly cncerned with survival and reprductin, which happiness des nt necessarily have anything t d with, and therefre belngs in a different realm. Nature desn't want us t always feel cntent and satisfied, let alne happy, as this wuld lwer ur guard against pssible threats t ur survival.
Happiness, as the Brazilian pet Vinicius de Mraes put it, is “like a feather flying in the air. It flies light, but nt fr very lng.” It is s elusive that it has als been cmpared t a butterfly, which “when pursued, is always just beynd yur grasp, but which, if yu will sit dwn quietly, may alight upn yu,” accrding t 19th-century American nvelist Nathaniel Hawthrne. In any case, what is clear is that happiness is, at best, fleeting (飞逝的) and incnstant.
In this blg, we will lk at the myth f happiness frm many perspectives and, in the prcess, we will tuch n tpics such as happy persnalities, the unhappy wrkings f the brain, evlutin, dreams, and even fairy tales. I explre all these issues in detail in my bk, which shares its title with this blg. Happiness is a crucial cncept. We spend all f ur lives pursuing it, s it deserves a very careful analysis.
We are determined by ur bilgical design t experience mixed and messy emtins. But the silver lining is the knwledge that having difficult emtins desn’t represent a persnal failure. The inevitable unhappiness that we all suffer frm time t time is nt a shrtcming that demands urgent repair. Far frm it. This unhappiness is, in fact, what makes us human.
1.Why des ur brain lack the genetic instructins t be happy？
A. Because being happy is less imprtant than appreciating and creating art.
B. Because happiness has little t d with the cntinuatin f a species.
C. Because we tend t be mre aware f the threats when we are unhappy.
D. Because feeling gd isn’t ne f ur cncerns in living a life.
2.What des the underlined wrd in paragraph 3 mst prbably mean？
A. Difficult t achieveB. Easy t expseC. Unable t explainD. Likely t remain
3.What can we learn frm the passage?
A. We shuld make happiness ur tp cncern n matter what.
B. Negative emtins always require immediate attentin.
C. Scial failures are mre likely t be trubled by negative feelings.
D. We shuld accept difficult emtins as a natural part f life.

(2021·南昌市八一中学高三模拟)The secret t happiness is keeping busy, research has fund.
Keeping the mind ccupied with tasks—n matter hw meaningless—keeps ff negative emtins, the study fund.
Hwever, the bad news is that humans are seemingly brn t be lazy in rder t save energy, accrding t Prfessr Christper Hsee, a behaviral scientist at Chicag University.
In a study, 98 students were asked t cmplete tw surveys. After they had cmpleted the first, they were made t wait 15 minutes t receive the next ne. They were given a chice f either handing in the first survey nearby r at a mre distant lcatin they had t walk t. Whichever ptin they chse, they received a chclate bar. It turned ut that apprximately tw-thirds(68 students)chse the lazy ptin. Thse wh had taken the walk reprted feeling happier than thse wh had stayed put.
Prf. Hsee cncluded that keeping busy helped keep peple happy. He said the findings, reprted in the jurnal Psychlgical Science, had plicy implicatins.
“Gvernments may increase the happiness f idle citizens by having them build bridges that are actually useless,” he prpsed.
At the individual level, he advised, “Get up and d smething. Anything. Even if there really is n pint t what yu are ding, yu will feel better fr it.” He added, “Incidentally, thinking deeply r engaging in self-reflectin cunts as keeping busy, t.”
“Yu d nt need t be running arund. Yu just need t be engaged, either physically r mentally.”

C
(2021·四川高三二模)On a scale f 0 t 10, I’d say my happiness ranks at abut 6. I’m glad t knw I’m a 6, because, as a famus management saying puts it, “Yu can't manage what yu dn’t measure.” If yu want t imprve an aspect f yur life, yu need t be able t assess prgress tward yur gal-and that means measuring it.
The gal f this clumn is t help yu manage and imprve yur happiness. A number f peple have asked me whether quantitative happiness measures are really accurate and reliable-and it’s a reasnable questin. S let’s take a lk behind the curtain. But nt just fr intellectual curisity; as yu will see, understanding the measurement f happiness can itself make yu better at imprving yur wn well-being-and avid sme critical errrs.
The best methd scientists have t understand with cnfidence hw smething affects smething else is a randmized, cntrlled trial. Think f the tests currently under way t find a vaccine fr COvID-19. They take a lng time because the drug cmpanies with trial vaccines are cnducting experiments that randmly assign peple t a treatment grup they get the vaccine and a cntrl grup(they get a placeb), and then waiting t seif the drug is effective and safe by cmparing the tw grups after enugh time has passed.
In the research n happiness, this usually isn’t pssible. Want t knw if peple are truly happiest in Denmark, as sme studies suggest, and test it with a randmized experiment? Yu wuld need t randmly take tw grups ut f their hmes, mve ne grup t Cpenhagen, and the ther t, say, Daytn, Ohi- but make sure they think it might be Cpenhagen and never get the truth. Fllw up a few years later t see wh is happiest. Obviusly, that’s ridiculus. S with randmized cntrlled trials largely nt available t them, happiness researchers instead rely n self-reprted happiness surveys, where large grups f peple annymusly reprt their levels f life satisfactin. Then, the researchers use fairly cmplex statistical techniques t mimic(模拟)a cntrlled experiment in rder t shw hw different aspects f peple’s lives affect-r at least are assciated with-their happiness.
8.What des the underlined wrd “it” in Paragraph 1 prbably refer t?
A. An aspect f lifeB. One’s galC. HappinessD. Prgress.
9.Why is the test f CvID-19 vaccine mentined in Paragraph 3?
A. T intrduce a latest medical breakthrugh.
B. T shw the difficulty in finding the vaccine.
C. T illustrate the prcess f randmized experiments.
D. T prve the impssibility f randmized researches n happiness.
10.Why is it hard t cnduct research n happiness with randmized experiments?
A. The experiment takes a lng time.B. It is difficult t analyze the data cllected.
C. It is impssible t carry ut the prcess strictly.D. The subjects are unwilling t share their feelings.
11.Where is this text taken frm?
A. A magazineB. A diaryC. A science reprtD. A textbk.

(2021·黑龙江实验中学高三月考)Happiness is an abstract cncept. When ne thinks f a typical happy persn, smiling, laughing and cheering are what usually cmes t mind. Hwever, if peple stp smiling r laughing, it desn’t necessarily mean that they are unhappy. Happiness has many different levels, and it is difficult t place the wrd in ne cncrete categry.
Many peple believe as peple grw lder, they will feel mre happiness. Hwever, I just find they are nt always s. When asking my twelve-year-ld sister what made her happy, she initially tld me that sleeping made her happy, and then she lked at me fr a reactin. When I had nne, she changed her answer t fd, then t fashin, and then finally t family. Each time she glanced at me, lking fr affirmatin(肯定)that she had given a “right” answer.
My yunger cusin, wh is even yunger than my sister, gave me an answer that surprised me. It wasn’t eating candy r watching TV that made her happy. It was lve. Cnsidering the clear differences between my sister and cusin in their answers, I came t see that age desn’t always largely cntribute t happiness.
Asking my grandmther what brings her happiness, she immediately answered “her family” withut hesitatin. This is smething I expected, as my grandma is always a family-centered persn. This als aligns with her culture, being frm Italy and grwing up during the 50s, where family values were at its highest pint in sciety.
Asking myself this questin, I think carefully abut my answers. Sure, my family, friends and pets make me happy, but s d reading, writing and watching mvies. This is why I have cme t the cnclusin that I have n answer t my wn questin.
There is n ne single thing that makes me the happiest, because, like everybdy, my md depends n many factrs. Happiness depends n external factrs, as well as ne’s persnality and age. This is why I have cme t the cnclusin that the jurney f happiness cannt truly be defined, and that there isn’t ne thing abve all that makes everyne the happiest.
12.What d we knw abut happiness frm Paragraph 1?
A. It is pursued by nearly all peple.
B. It’s difficult t describe it with wrds.
C. Its highest level is ften expressed with laughing.
D. It may have nthing t d with ne’s expressins.
13.Cmparing her sister’s and cusin’s answers, the authr realized that ________.
A. happiness cmes frm very small thingsB. age wn’t always bring peple happiness
C. little kids can smetimes give us inspiratinD. sme abstract things can make peple happier
14.What des the underlined phrase “aligns with” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Is cnsistent withB. Is beneficial tC. Breaks away frmD. Gets ut f
15.What cnclusin des the authr draw abut happiness?
A. Happiness is hard t achieve.B. Happiness is determined by many factrs.
C. The happiest peple are ften pen-minded.D. One’s family gives him the mst happiness.

(2021·广东深圳外国语学校高三模拟)A lng time ag, there was a happy prince and princess in a cuntry. They tk care f and lved each ther very much, and their cuntry was happy, t. Therefre they didn’t envy anything else. There was ne thing they wrried abut. They wanted t make sure they culd live happily frever like this.
One day, ne f the fficials fund ut the cuple’s wrry and tld them, “Prince, I heard that there is a magic charm(吉祥饰物), and it can prtect yu frm any unfrtunate event. If yu always carry the magic charm with yu, yur fear and wrry will disappear.” “Is it true? Where can I find that charm?” The prince asked him jyfully. “There is an ld man in the frest, and he knws abut everything. Yu can ask him.”
The cuple visited the ld man, and asked fr help with their wrries and fears. The ld man ndded his head as if he knew everything and said, “Travel all arund the wrld. Then, when yu meet a very happy cuple, ask them t cut a piece f their underwear. If yu keep the piece f the underwear, yur fear and wrry will g away.”
The cuple appreciated the ld man's kindness and set ut n the jurney. The cuple wandered arund everywhere and heard abut a happy knight and his wife in a twn.
