【题目】阅读下列四篇短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
C
Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be: “to be happy.” Ed Deiner, an American psychology professor, has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy, comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.
Many people would say that this question does not need an answer. But Professor Deiner has one anyway. “If you're a cheerful, happy person, your marriage is more likely to last, and you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job. On average, happy people have stronger immune system s, and there is some evidence that they live longer.”
So who are the world's happiest people? It depends on how the word is defined. There is individual happiness, the sense of joy we get when we do something we like. But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave. According to Professor Deiner, the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual (相互的,彼此) satisfaction.
“In the West, the individualistic culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East. People ask themselves if they are doing what is fun or interesting. They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things. If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy, they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives. If not much has gone wrong, then they are satisfied.”
People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture, Professor Deiner found. “The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame. Hispanic (西班牙语言的) cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others.”
Income also made a big difference to people's happiness, but only at the lowest levels. Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty. But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes. It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.
(1)According to the passage, happy people enjoy the following benefits except ______.
A.a long marriage
B.profession success
C.better health
D.respect from others
(2)What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph?
A.Hispanic cultures lay stress on pride and shame.
B.Spanish people take too much pride in themselves.
C.Attitude towards pride and shame results in Spanish happiness.
D.If you are from Spain, you are the happiest.
(3)In the last paragraph, the author seems to tell us ______.
A.Poor people enjoy the same happiness as millionaires
B.the higher income one gets, the happier life he lives
C.Enough money can make us feel safe and happy
D.Average income earners live the happiest life
(4)The passage mainly discusses ______.
A.cultural differences in happiness
B.reasons for happiness
C.the happiest culture
D.benefits of happiness

【题目】Active listening is a structured form of listening and responding that focuses the attention on the speaker.The listener should listen to the speaker fully,and then repeat in the listener's own words what he or she thinks the speaker has said.1However,he or she must simply state what he or she thinks the speaker said.This enables the speaker to find out whether the listener really understood.If the listener did not,the speaker would explain some more.

2Thus,instead of just repeating what happened,the active listener might add that the speaker felt angry or confused when a particular event happened.Then the speaker can go beyond confirming that the listener understood what happened.It can also indicate that the listener understood the speaker's psychological response to it.

Active listening has several benefits.3Second,it avoids misunderstandings,as people have to confirm that they really understand what another person has said.4When people are in conflict,they often contradict each other, denying each other's description of a situation.5However,if they feel that the listener is listening to their concerns they are likely to explain in detail what they feel and why.if both parties in a conflict do this,the chances of being able to develop a solution to their mutual problem become much greater.

A.The listener does not have to agree with the speaker.

B.For example,it forces people to listen attentively to others.

C.What's more,it tends to open people up,to get them to say more.

D.Often when people talk to each other,they don't listen attentively.

E.Often,the listener needs to interpret the speaker's words in terms of feelings

F.They realize that they should focus on how they can respond to win the argument

G.This makes people defensive,and they will either make verbal attacks,or say nothing more.
