To a certain degree, our f _75_of happiness are determined by genes. However, of

Researchers find that wealthier people are usually happier, but the l_77_ between money and happiness
7、is not simple. In the past half century, average income has dramatically increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the s _78_. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues. “Dollar

Maybe old age isnt that bad. In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and
9、94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as o_80_ as young people but negative emotions much less.Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or the

But Carstensen thinks that with time running out, older people have learned to focus on the things that make them happy and not to concentrate on those that dont. “People realize not only what they have, but also wha

We n 82 that the sea had gone a long way out but this did not mean anything to u
12、s. We had been to Mombassa several times and at times the sea had gone right out to the reef (礁). We also knew that it was a f 83 moon and thought it may influence (影响) the sea. We didnt realize how many more Sri Lankan families would be killed because it was a holiday and they were on the beach. I
13、left Eric on the beach and went for a walk down by the sea. I must have gone about a quarter of a mile when I met a fisherman. He w 84 me that there was something wrong with the sea. I told him that I knew the waves were strong and that I didnt want to go swimming. He said, “No, madam, no there is s
14、omething wrong with the sea.”He walked with me u 85 we reached his village. As we reached it a huge surge (波涛汹涌) of water almost knocked me over. He held me fast with one arm and held on to a tree with the other. The villagers were all crying loudly as f 86 and other things floated (漂浮) from their h
15、ouses. They all started running back across the railway lines directly behind.The fisherman took me back to the railway lines and we stumbled (蹒跚而行) along there until we came up behind Eric. I shouted that there was something wrong but Eric just did not believe me and thought I was out of my m 87 .A
16、t that point, from my higher point I could see the sea rising in its bed. It just continued to rise and came towards us.
