Meaning of Happiness
"Are you happy?" I asked my brother, Lan, one day,
"Yes．No．It depends what you mean," he said．
"Then tell me," I said, "when was the last time you think you were happy?"
"April 1967,"he said,
It served me right for putting a serious question to someone who has joked his way through life．But Lan's answer reminded me that when we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle（顶点） of sheer （纯粹的） delight, 71
72 I remember playing police and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play．Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved．
In the teenage years, the concept of happiness changes． 73 I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to．I also remember the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man．
In adulthood the things that bring great joy —birth, love, marriage —also bring responsibility and the risk of loss．Love may not last; loved ones die．For adults, happiness is complex．
My dictionary defines "happy" as "lucky" or "fortunate"．But I think a better definition of happiness is "the ability to enjoy something"． 74 It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health．
While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever．Happiness isn't about what happens to us; it's the ability to find a positive for every negative, and view a difficulty as a challenge． 75
A．For a child, happiness has a magic quality．
B．You never know where happiness will turn up next．
C．So we chase it and make it equal to wealth and success．
D．And those pinnacles seem to get rarer, the older we get．
E．The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are．
F．It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess．
G．Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity．

In 1990 a report was published about what the earth might be like 20 years from then on. 71 According to the report,the picture of the earth in the year 2010 is not a pleasant one. 72 The population could be as large as 6300 million,almost 2150 million more than in 1985.More people would move into cities ,especially cities in developing countries.Cities like Cairo and Jakarta probably would each have 15 million by then.
73 Farmers will grow 90% more food than they did in 1985,but most of the increase would be in countries that already produce enough food for their people. 74 Poor farming ways are destroying large areas of crop land,changing farms into deserts.More farmland is lost as cities become larger and more houses are built.Air pollution will get worse as industrial countries burn more coal and oil.Many of the world's forests could disappear as more and more trees are cut down.Energy will continue to be a serious problem. 75 They only workde out the situation that exists today.By changing the situation,by settling the problems,the picture can be changed.There is still time for the nations of the world to work out a plan of action.But they warned that waiting too long to make de cisions would greatly reduce the chances of success.
