10．I live in the land of Disney，Hollywood and year-round sun．You may think people in such a glamorous，fun-filled place are happier than others．If so，you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness．
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun．The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common．Fun is what we experience during an act．Happiness is what we experience after an act．It is a deeper，more abiding emotion．
Going to an amusement park or ball game，watching a movie or television，are fun activities that help us relax，temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh．But they do not bring happiness，because their positive effects end when the fun ends．
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play，it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun．These rich，beautiful individual have constant access to glamorous parties，fancy cars，expensive homes，everything that spells"happiness"．But in memoir after memoir，celebrities reveal that unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun：depression，alcoholism，drug addiction，broken marriages，troubled children and profound loneliness．
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying．If he's honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment．For commitment is in fact quite painful．The single life is filled with fun，adventure and excitement．Marriage has such moments，but they are not its most distinguishing features．
Similarly，couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness．They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want．Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation．I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children．However，they all feel blessed to have children．
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to．It liberates time：now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness．It liberates money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless．And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all．
8．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？C
A．Fun creates long-lasting satisfaction．
B．Fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness．
C．Happiness is enduring whereas fun is short-lived．
D．Fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness．
9．To the author，Hollywood stars all have an important role to play that is toB．
A．write memoir after memoir about their happiness．
B．tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun．
C．teach people how to enjoy their lives．
D．bring happiness to the public instead of going to glamorous parties．
10．Couples having babiesD．
A．are lucky since they can have a whole night's sleep．
B．find fun in tucking them into bed at night．
C．find more time to play and joke with them．
D．gain happiness from their endeavor．

A．stop playing games and joking with others
B．make the best use of his time increasing happiness
C．give a free hand to money
D．keep himself with his family．

9．With more recognition than Halloween and less than Christmas，Valentine's Day as an imported festival faces a dangerous situation in China，where it's caught between forces of tradition and fashion．Valentine's Day has a natural enemy in China．And it is not the Chinese equivalent，which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar，usually around half a year away from Feb.14．It is the Spring Festival，also known as the Chinese New Year，that will influence the Feast of Saint Valentine．
The real disagreement between East and West probably took place over a century ago，when China's door was forced open by Western powers and Chinese scholars supported westernization as a means to strengthen our nation's ability to compete．The introduction of the solar calendar and Western measurements was both an acknowledgment of their influence and an effort to be accepted by the world order．
For a full century，we have had two systems running in parallel．When it comes to the eventual outcome，practicality usually beats all other concerns．Laws can help，such as the three traditional festivals of Tomb Sweeping，Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn gaining legal status in 2008and giving every Chinese citizen a day off，but laws cannot push what people have no feelings for．So，the celebration or boycott of imported holidays or homegrown ones should be no cause for worry．If they are irrelevant，no social media will change the public's mind； and if they are accepted，there must be a need which they happen to satisfy．
Since we have no global Qin Shihuang to force one system on every country，we can always rely on a dual （双重） approach by which we share with the outside world on one hand but preserve our own ways of life on the other．
