Recently,CCTV reporter have asked a simple question, “Are you happy?”
The question has caught many interviewees off guard. Even Mo Yan, who recently won a Nobel Prize, answered by saying “I don’t know.”
We should ask “What exactly is happiness? And how do you measure(测量) it？”. Last year, China’s Premier Wen Jiabao told the nation, “Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At last year’s National People’s Congress(全国人民代表大会)， officials agreed that increasing happiness would be a top target(目标) for the 12^th five-year plan.
Many argue that happiness is elusive. It also means different things to different people. For some, happiness can be as simple as having enough money to buy a new bicycle; for others, it’s about socializing(社交活动) or finding the perfect spouse(配偶).
Chen Shangyuan, 21, a college student, said his idea of happiness always evolves(进化). “At present it relates to how productive I am in a day”, he said. “It might be linked to(联系) job security (安全) or leisure(休闲) time after I graduate.”

　　Watson won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master(南部象棋大师)in 1977. He was given the silver(银)cup.

　　“It isn't rightly mine,” he said, when he was holding thecup. “It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in…”

　　“A family was staying at my hotel(旅馆)at that time.”

　　Mrs Prag, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. ‘He’s only ten. ’she said, ‘I’ve been told that he plays quite well.’

　　“Well, as you can guess, I wasn't too happy. A player likes the opponent(对手)to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board(棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quick-and so it was.”

　　“I soon knew that David Prag was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall. The boy seemed to lost interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子)without care. I gave my attention to the board.”

　　“‘Call me when you are ready, Mr Watson,’he said.”

　　“When I was ready? I looked up. He had gone off to play with his sister. I studied the board--and found I was driven into a corner. So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten, oh so easily, by a ten-year-old chess player. He was the winner--in twenty-eight minutes.”

　　“David Prag: a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand,winning games.”
