Over the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a difference．Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes．However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.

Money can buy a degree of happiness．But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself, each extra dollar makes less and less difference.

Researchers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier．But the link between money and happiness is complex．In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same．Once your basic needs are met, money only seems to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.

“Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways—scientists or actors, for example—may happily accept relatively poorly-paid jobs.

In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desires—not just for money, but for friends, family, job, health—rose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap (差距)．Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about five times better than income alone．“The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.” says Michalos.

Another factor that has to do with happiness is age．Old age may not be so bad．“Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied? ” asks Protessor Laura Carstensen.

In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire．She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, but negative emotions much less often.

Why are old people happier? Some scientists suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or they’re more realistic abour their goals, only setting ones that they know they can achieve．But Carstensen thinks that with time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go of those that don’t.

“People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says．“A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.”

1.According to the passage, the feeling of happiness ________.

A．is determined partly by genes              B．increases gradually with age

C．has little to do with wealth                    D．is measured by desires

2.Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs ________.

A．make them feel much better                B．provide chances to make friends

C．improve their social position                  D．satisfy their professional interests

3.Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more ________.

A．optimistic                                            B．successful

C．practical                                             D．emotional

4.Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if ________.

A．the gap between reality and desire is bigger

B．they have a stronger desire for friendship

C．their income is below their expectation

D．the hope for good health is greater

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been making changes to my brain. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Involving myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. That’s rarely the case any more.

I think I know what’s going on. For over a decade, I’ve been spending lots of time online. The Web has been a godsend to me as a writer. Research that once required days in the rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes by a few Google searches. Even when I’m not working, I’m scanning headlines or just tripping from link to link.

The Net is becoming a universal medium where information flows through my eyes and ears and into mind. The perfect recall of silicon memory (硅制存储器) can be a blessing to thinking. But that comes at a price. As the media theorist Marshall Mcluhan pointed out, media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought. And what the Net seems to be doing is weakening my ability for concentration. Once I was a driver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a flying swallow.

I’m not the only one. When I mention my troubles with reading to acquaintances, Bruce Friedman, a blogger, also has described how the Internet has changed his mental habits. His thinking has taken on a “staccato (破碎)” quality. “I can’t read War and Peace any more” he admitted, “I’ve lost the ability to do that.”

A recently published study suggests that when reading online, we tend to become “more decoders (解码器) of information”. We are not only what we read; we are how we read.

1.According to the passage, the author thinks_______

A. the Net is merely a headache.

B. he can no longer die but swim shallowly.

C. the once naturally deep reading has become a struggle.

D. other people around rarely have similar feelings like him.

2.What is the author’s attitude towards the Internet?

A. Thoroughly passive.

B. Totally puzzled.

C. Gladly approving.

D. Evidently worried.

3.From the passage, the more people use the Web, _________

A. the more mental habits can be improved.

B. the more they have to fight to stay focused.

C. the more they are influenced in shape.

D. the more online activities they can enjoy.

4.Which of the following can best summarize the text?

A. Is the Net gradually making us stupid?

B. Long articles are hard to read nowadays.

C. Do people lack concentration to cover Web pages?

D. More Web involvement results from attention distraction(分心).
