I am sure many people have said about me, “He must be the happiest man in the world!” But they were wrong. 36 I was famous and had 37 money, I was not really happy. I found myself asking, “ 38 does all this not give me real happiness?”

Newspapers said, “Kriss Akabusi is the European champion. He has also 39 an Olympic bronze medal.” Now before all this happened, I had 40 , “If I can become a champion, I will be happy. I will 41 a lot of money and then enjoy 42 . I will have a good time.”

When I went to the Edinburgh Games, in my hotel 43 I found a book by my bedside. It was called What’s Real Happiness in Life? I 44 this book up and read some of the stories in it. The book mainly told about the happiness brought by helping others. But I said to 45 , “All these things are too 46 for me to do.”

But that night I had a 47 . I found myself standing by a river. I 48 a voice calling to me from the other side of the river. The voice said, “You know helping others is as 49 as crossing the river, and it’s not as difficult as you imagine.” Then suddenly I awoke. I realized I was 50 now when compared to before. I found I had real 51 of mind.

So I can now tell my friends what I have 52 . Being famous and having a lot of money 53 gave me happiness. So all I can say to you is this—we are 54 when we think that to be famous and rich will make us happy. Now I have a children’s TV program called Record Breakers. I have no 55 about what tomorrow will bring.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　What makes a house a home?

　　Not size, of course．I've been in some of the grandest houses in America, and it's readily apparent that no one lives there．Earlier this year, I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia, where we sat on chairs next to the hostess's bed－ a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since．

　　Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just－released Home：The Blueprints of Our Lives．There Edwards writes, “This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, and the people they have shaped．The houses and circumstances are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar．”

　　Whether you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive, you know what he's talking about．

　　We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years．The loose windows make noise in the wind．The fireplace is so small it holds only one log．The kitchen window offers a view of the world passing by．It's where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed．I lived there for only 18 years, but it will always be my true home．Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines．

　　While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are．As Edwards writes, “Home is family．Home is safety．Home is faith．”

　　Happy homecoming!

　　You don't need millions to be happy．In fact, at the Happiness Institute in Australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough．

　　The institute opened its doors last year, and since then, men and women of all ages have been paying ＄140 an hour for lessons on how to feel great．

　　“You can actually increase your happiness levels．That's what we teach,”said Timothy Sharp, founder of the institute．

　　Experts say that only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income and other financial factors．As much as 85 percent comes from things such as attitudes, life control and relationships．

　　Most of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels haven't changed to reflect that．

　　Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happiness．

　　Many years ago, the“sage of Baltimore, Maryland”, editor HL Menchen, defined wealth as earning ＄100 more than your“wife's sister's husband”．

　　Behavioral economists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is that we compare ourselves to people better off materially．

　　“The argument is that if you want to be happy there's a very simple thing you can do：Compare yourself to people who are less well-off than you－poorer, smaller house, car,”said Sharp．

　　The Happiness Institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by focusing on“more than just your bank account”．

　　“If I compare my self to Bill Gates then I'm always going to be down,”said Sharp．

　　A better thing to compare with, he said, might be Kerry Packer, Australia's richest person who has had a kidney transplant and heart surgery in recent years．

(1)

Which of the following statements in TRUE according to the passage?
[　　]
A．	You can increase your happiness levels by attending the classes at the Happiness Institute．
B．	Most of us are happier than our parents or grandparents since we earn more．
C．	Earning ＄100 more than your“wife's sister's husband”if you want to be happy．
D．	Both Bill Gates and Kerry Packer are examples of those who are extremely rich but obviously unhappy

(2)

The underlined phrase has the same meaning as the word“________”．
[　　]
A．	healthy
B．	unhealthy
C．	free
D．	wealthy

(3)

The author wrote the passage to tell us ________．
[　　]
A．	happiness is everything
B．	wealth is the foundation of happiness
C．	have fun at the Happiness Institute
D．	money doesn't always mean happiness

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　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 individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”．But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the 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 ever they want and sleep as late as they want．Couples with infant children 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．

　　Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating(解放性的)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．

(1)

We can learn from the passage that ________．
[　　]
A．	fun creates long-lasting satisfaction
B．	fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to haainess
C．	happiness is lasting whereas fun is short-lived
D．	fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness

(2)

In the author's opinion, marriage ________．
[　　]
A．	affords greater fun．
B．	leads to raising children．
C．	indicates duty and devotion．
D．	usually ends in pain．

(3)

Which of the following is the best example of “painful happiness”?
[　　]
A．	Winning lottery by accident．
B．	A bachelor resisting marriage．
C．	Raising children．
D．	Buying some fancy clothes．

(4)

If one get the meaning of the true sense of happiness, he will ________．
[　　]
A．	stop playing games and joking with others．
B．	keep himself with his family．
C．	give a free hand to money．
D．	make the best use of his time increasing happiness．
