Unhappy people glue(使粘牢) themselves to the television 30 percent more than happy people.
The finding, announced on Thursday, 1from a survey of nearly 30,000 American adults conducted between 1975 and 2006 as part of the General Social Survey.
2happy people reported watching an3of 19 hours of television per week, unhappy people reported 25 hours a week. The results held even after 4into account education, income, age and marital status.
In addition, happy individuals were more socially5, attended more religious services, voted more and 6a newspaper more often than their less-chipper(没有精神的) counterparts.
The researchers are not sure, though, whether unhappiness7more television-watching or more viewing leads to unhappiness.
In fact, people say they like watching television: Past research has shown that when people watch television they 8 it. In these studies, participants reported that on a9from 0 (dislike) to 10 (greatly enjoy), TV-watching was nearly an 8.
But perhaps the high from watching television doesn't10 .
"These conflicting data 11 that TV may provide viewers with short-run12, but at the expense of long-term malaise(精神欠爽)," said researcher John Robinson, a sociologist at the University of Maryland, College Park.
In this case, even the happiest campers could turn into Debbie-downers if they continue to13at the TV. The researchers suggest that over time, television-viewing14push out other activities that do have more lasting15. Exercise and sex come to mind, as do parties and other forms of socialization known to have psychological benefits.
Or, maybe television is simply a refuge(慰藉物) for people who are already16.
"TV is not judgmental17difficult, so people with18social skills or resources for other activities can engage in it," Robinson and UM colleague Steven Martin write in the December issue of the journal Social Indicators Research.
They add, "19 , chronic unhappiness can be socially and personally debilitating(使人衰弱的) and can interfere with work and most social and personal activities, but even the unhappiest people can click a remote and be passively20by a TV."
The researchers say follow-up studies are needed to tease out the relationship between television and happiness.

My chance came at last. Our school was going to hold a sports meet. I knew what it 1 to me so I got up very early to prepare for it. I2 running and jumping. When I was 3 I reminded myself of my promise and went on.
4the time came nearer, I felt quite 5. On the first day I came fourth in the 1500m 6 but I was far from 7 because what I wanted most was the highlight of the sports meeting—250x8 relay race. I would run the last leg for my team.
With a shot, the race began. All the students were 8 for their team. The competition was so 9 that I began to feel nervous. Before my turn came, my team was 10 the others. Even worse, I almost dropped the stick when I was trying to 11 it.
12after that, there was nothing in my mind except to run as fast as possible. Just when I was approaching the finish line, my legs 13. Then my promise came to mind again and 14 me to go on. To my surprise, I was the first to 15the finish line!
16, I had proved to myself and those who had often laughed at me that I am not 17 at all! My classmates greeted me warmly and I hugged them tightly. I had won the prize as well as their 18.
From the sports meeting, I learnt that sometimes things are not so difficult as they 19 to be. Just try your best without fear and you might be surprised at the 20.

A few years ago when my youngest son Matt was eight years old, we were getting things together to take to the Salvation Army (救世军) at Christmas time. The boys would go through their old1and give away what they didn’t2. I made cookies and got together blankets and clothes. After that Matt and I3the Christmas package to our local Salvation Army. We unloaded4and headed home.
5we took the corner out of the parking lot, Matt6that a baseball glove he had put in the bag had7 . He said, “Mom, we forgot my glove.” Just then he saw a little boy and his mom sitting on a bench on the side of a building8a small playground was. He said, “Mom, can we9so that I can give the glove to him?” I said, “10 .” And we drove to the side of the11and went through the gate.
Matt handed the boy the glove and said, “Here, Santa12me to give it to you.” He was so13to get it! His mom14and gave Matt a huge hug. Her eyes were full of tears. “It is the best15he could get,” she looked at us and said, “because the16thing I could get him this year was a baseball.”
When we got back in the car, Matt said to me, “Mom, God must have made me17the baseball glove inside so the little boy could have it — it was18to be!” That moment proved my19that everything happens for a20and I have tried my best to get people to see that ever since!

I am serving in a company in Cheyenne. The work has been challenging, but the1are big, and I have been given a rise. The weather has been cold lately.2 walking has been excellent exercise, I have realized that I need another form of3for the winter.
My boyfriend Mike knew of this4 and he researched some local sites for cheap cars. The minute he5me the information about a 1978 Ford Fairmont, I6this car was meant to be! I began communicating with the7, a man named Dale Meyer. I found out that the car was bought by his grandfather and was still in good8. He and his two brothers had9 learned to drive using this car.
We10 a price of $400, and fixed a time for a test drive. The day before the test drive, I received a phone call from Dale. He11 a little nervous, but also excited. He asked simply, “You really12this car, don’t you?”
“Of course. I couldn’t love it more,” I gave an enthusiastic13. He then said to me, “How about me giving it to you for a dollar?” His offer left me14. At that time words15me.
I picked up my new Fairmont last night. Dale walked me around the car,16 its bumps and nicks (磕磕碰碰). As he was telling me the17of the car, it seemed that he was losing an old friend. As I was pulling18 the driveway, he stopped me and said, “Don’t forget to pass this 19on.”
It was truly a20end. Never underestimate the kindness of strangers.

In 1932, my father had to declare bankruptcy (破产). He was ashamed of it, but it came about because of his1heart.
He had been in the milk business and every day he2milk to many homes. His route(线路)included many people3worked at the local steel company. Dad4delivering milk even when his customers were unable to5him.
After the bankruptcy, he started selling hamburgers from a6building he and his brothers had built. That was the7of the Poplar Inn, named8the row of poplar trees(杨树)nearby. My mother was a good cook, and soon many dishes were9to the menu. Later, another two buildings were built and the Poplar Inn10much larger.
On Saturdays, Mother would spend the whole day in the kitchen11for parties. During dinner, my sister Phyllis and I helped12customers. Phyllis would dance, and I would sing the latest songs. Square dances were13then and many adults would dance. As the evening went14, and children became bored with watching their parents15, they were often taken to our bedrooms.
Since Dad had a big heart, it was not16for him to help others without asking for payment. Every time my father made a loan (借出的贷款), he17out a card, but he never tried to18those debts. Finally, he destroyed the cards — therefore there were no19at al1.
The Poplar Inn was20around 1953 to make way for a new highway. But if I stood there now, instead of hearing traffic, I think I’d hear music and the sound of people laughing.

Two days before Thanksgiving, I was trying to open my mouth wide enough for a mirror and a roll of steel wire. Metal braces (牙齿矫正器)had been on my1for weeks, but this was the day for the wire to be adjusted. Only those who have had braces will understand the terrible2of being “wired”. For the next 24 hours, it felt like every tooth was being3slowly by a giant clawhammer (拔钉锤).4drinking water caused pain.
By Thanksgiving Day, I had got used to it.5I didn’t use my teeth, the pain was bearable. But this was a day when teeth had to6longer than usual. We were7at my grandparents’ house with relatives. The house was filled with so many pleasant8that we could hardly resist the food. When grandma said, “Dinner is ready!” all the kids9to be first in line. I was so excited that I10the braces in my mouth and11my way up to the head of the line.
I piled my plate high with my favorite corn-on-the-cob(玉米棒子)and12my mouth to enjoy it. The pain was13. I felt I would never be able to eat again. I put my plate away and ran outside in14.
Grandma then took my plate to the15. She cut all the corn off that cob and rescued me from my16. She handed me my plate piled high with corn. “Thanks,” I said17. Then I looked up and18a strange light in her eye, a light that is still19to me after more than fifty years. That was the Thanksgiving when I discovered something more20than good food.

Even though the son was always on the bench(候补选手), his father was always in the stands cheering. The young man loved1and determined to try his best at every practice. But he2remained a bench all four years in high school.
One day as he ran onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the basketball coach met him with a3. The young man read the telegram and he became4. The coach put his arm5around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the6on Saturday.” Saturday arrived, and the game was not going7.
In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man ran onto the sidelines, the8and his players were astonished to see their9teammate back so soon.
“Coach, please let me10. I have just got to play today,” said the young man.
The coach pretended not to11him. Never would he let his12player in this close playoff game. But the young man13, and finally feeling sorry for young man, the coach14. This little unknown, who had never played before, was doing everything right. The opposite team could not15him. His team began to win. 16, the coach came to him and said, “Young man,17did you do it?”
With18 in his eyes he said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?” The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, 19today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to20him I could do it!”

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 1 was he found himself unable to ask for help-his mobile phone went out of 2 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to3 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 4 of the rescue.
It is almost 5 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 6: “First of all I checked up my7 conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no 8 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 9. In this way I dozed (打盹) off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the 10 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men 11 to explore a mountain cave and got lost.12 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 13. Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 14 people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the15 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 16 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁) not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with 17 itself? When you meet with obstacles in life and work, you are lost in darkness. 18 you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle19. It seems to be a negative attitude, 20 a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.

The question of whether war is inevitable is one which has concerned many of the world’s great writers. Before1 this question, it will be useful to introduce some2concepts. Conflict,3 as opposition among social units-or individuals-directed against one another, is4from competition, which5 opposition among social units6seeking to obtain something which is7 inadequate supply. Competitors may not know about one another, which those who8in a conflict do. Conflict and competition are both9 of opposition. The meaning of opposition has been stated as a process by which social unit function in the disservice of one another, opposition is10contrasted to cooperation, a11 by which social units function in the service of one another. These12are necessary because it is important to emphasize that competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a world of limited13 , but conflict isn’t . Conflict, nevertheless, is very likely to occur and is probably an essential and desirable14of human societies.
Many authors have15 their arguments that war cannot be avoided on the idea that in the struggle for existence among groups of animals, only those which are best16remain alive. In general, however, this struggle in nature is competition, not conflict. Those who fail in this competition17 starve
to death or are18 by other types of animals. This struggle for19is not similar to human war, but is like the competition of20 for jobs, markets, and materials. The most important quality of this struggle is the competition for the necessities of life that are not enough to satisfy all.
