We just moved into our new flat last week, and we love the new place too. I was sitting outside my new home yesterday, watching the world go by.

There were people in  36 , in a hurry to get to their next appointment. There were  37 flying nearby, insects just as busy as the people in cars, flowers  38  in the warm and damp climate.

Inside the house, my children were also busy, as ever, making a  39  of the house , which my wife and I would soon clean up, their natural  40  defeating our previous requirements for them not to play with lotion ( 护肤液 ) or take things  41 .

The sky was  42  cloudy and there was a cool breeze ( 微风 ), quite gentle and 43 actually.

It’s not often that  44   of us just sit quietly, enjoying the world .

Why not?

What is  45   important that it can't wait until later?  46  email must be answered right this moment? Do we really need to  47   all those articles online, all those messages from 48 , and all those newspapers and magazines? Do we need to   49   the television and radio and Internet on all the time?

Is life passing us by as we keep our minds   50  ? Are we   51  the beautiful world around us as we constantly think about the  52  ― what we will do, our  53  about what might happen ― and the past ― what we did wrong, what someone else did to us, what we said, what  54  have happened?

When was the   55  time you just sat, and observed? Why not do it today?

Last year, CCTV journalists approached pedestrians with their cameras, held a microphone to their mouth and asked a simple question, “Are you happy?”

The question has caught many interviewees off guard. Even Mo Yan, who just won a Nobel Prize, responded by saying, “I don’t know”.

While the question has become a buzz phrase and the Internet plays host to heated discussions, we ask: What exactly is happiness? And how do you measure it?

In the 1776 US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson set in writing the people’s unalienable right to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. 235 years on, Wen Jiabao told the nation, “Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At National People’s Congress, officials agreed that increasing happiness would be a top target for the 12th five-year plan.

US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, describes happiness as “ a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions”, according to US broadcasting network PBS. This may sound straightforward enough, but it still doesn’t explain what determines people’s happiness.

Many argue that happiness is elusive and that there is no single source. It also means different things to different people. For some, happiness can be as simple as having enough cash.

Researchers believe happiness can be separated into two types: daily experiences of hedonic (享乐的) well-being; and evaluative well-being, the way people think about their lives as a whole. The former refers to the quality of living, whereas the latter is about overall happiness, including life goals and achievements. Happiness can cross both dimensions.

Li Jun, a psychologist and mental therapy practitioner at a Beijing clinic, says, “Happiness can mean both the most basic human satisfaction or the highest level of spiritual pursuit. It’s a simple yet profound topic.”

Chen Shangyuan, 21, a junior English major at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said his idea of happiness always evolves. “At present it relates to how productive I am in a day,” he said. “It might be linked to job security or leisure time after I graduate.”

Then there is the question of measuring happiness. Does it depend on how many friends we have, or whether we own the latest smart phone? Is it even quantifiable?

Economists are trying to measure happiness in people’s lives. Since 1972, Bhutan’s GDP measurement has been replaced by a Gross National Happiness index. It is calculated according to the peoples’ sense of being well-governed, their relationship with the environment, their satisfaction with economic development, and their sense of national belonging.

In 2009, US economist Joseph Stiglitz proposed “to shift emphasis from measuring economic production to measuring people’s well-being”. But is well-being more easily measured?

1. In the second paragraph, the writer gave an example to ________.

A. support his idea that being famous is the reason to be happy

B. introduce his topic to be discussed

C. tell people winning a Nobel Prize is a great honor

D. show that the question was quite difficult

2.From what Thomas Jefferson and Wen Jiabao mentioned in the passage, we know ________.

A. people’s happiness is determined by great people

B. people’s happiness is an important target for the development of a country

C. people in all countries have the right to ask the government for a happy life

D. people both in China and America are living a happy life

3.According to the passage, the writer may most likely agree that ________.

A. CCTV journalists are concerned about people’s happiness out of sympathy

B. the question has led to heated discussions about who are the happiest people in China

C. Bhutan’s new index shows that people there are the happiest in the world

D. it is not easy for us to decide what determines people’s happiness

4.What does the underlined word “elusive” in the sixth paragraph mean?

A. available.                B. easy to get.                      C. hard to describe.            D. unimaginable.

5.The best title of the passage is ________.

A. Are you happy?                                                   B. The Measurement of Happiness

C. GDP and Happiness                                             D. The Secret of Happiness

 

Guan Yifan, 90, the father of Nobel prize winner, Mo Yan, in front of Mo’s childhood home.

 
On a brisk day in mid-October, Nobel prizewinner for literature Mo Yan'' s 62-year-old brother, Guan Moxin, stands outside their childhood home in Ping'' an village, Shandong coastal province, posing for photographs with a steady stream of brightly dressed tourists. He smiles as a

teenage girl in a pink sweater puts her hand on his shoulder

and flashes a peace sign at the camera.

"Everybody wants to understand what Mo Yan'' s life used to be like, when we were young," says Guan, lead-ing a small crowd inside the abandoned house to a dusty room where Mo, now 57, was married. A broken antique radio – a wedding gift, Guan says – sits on a crumbling concrete bed, untouched for decades.

Gaomi people are extremely proud of their Nobel prizewinner, whom they fondly refer to as "Teacher Mo Yan". Long red banners(横幅)congratulating Mo hang from the sides of concrete homes along major streets.

Guan Moxin recalls one tourist who ate a bean from a vine(腾)near their childhood home, threw his arms in the air, and declared that he had consumed a tiny piece of Mo’s Nobel miracle.

“Mo Yan’s works have elements from Gaomi’s culture,”says Mao Weijie,an official who over-sees the newly-built Mo’Yan museum in a local high school.“He writes about Gaomi paper-cutting,for example,and sometimes he writes using our Gaomi dialect.”

Guan Yifan,Mo’s father,says that Mo does not come hack home often,but when he does,“we just talk about what’8 happening our home hew the tomatoes are growing,that type of thing.”Inside the house,faded family pictures hang on newspaper-covered walls;outside,his courtyard over-flows with corn,the fruits of a good harvest.

Although Guan says that he has never read his son’s books,he is proud of Mo’s achievements.“We’re all just happy,”he says.“Very,very happy.”

66.How many years younger is Mo Yan than his brother according to this news item?

A.28 years    B.5 years    C.8 years D.10 years

67.The teenage girl in a pink sweater is most probably_________________.

A.Guan Moxin’s daughter    B.Mo Yah’s daughter

C.a tourist D.a news reporter

68.Which of the following best describes the house where Mo Yah got married?

A.Shabby.    B.New.    C.Large.D.Clean.

69.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Few people asked Guan Moxin about his brother’s childhood life.

B.The tourist who ate a bean near Mo Yan’s home went crazy.

C.Mo Yan often talks about his writing with his relatives

D.Someone gave Mo Yan a radio as a gift when he got married.
