We all think that we know what happiness is. We all seem to be making great efforts towards this goal of happiness but what is it really? It is an agreed fact that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and sadness. The question, however, is “what is real happiness?” What really is called happiness? The desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.

Some thinkers say, “Happiness does not lie in objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in imagination.”

To prove their belief, they give examples like the following one: A man has a two-storey house; on the right is a five-storey building and on the left a cottage. When he sees right, he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy. As such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects, but in imagination. They advise people to look towards those who have fewer possessions and be happy. If you look towards people having more wealth and possessions, you will always be unhappy.

It is unreasonable to hold this point of view. It is unkind to regard one happy by imagining that one is better than the poor and the unhappy. “If you want to be happy, look towards the poor”. We know that those poor people cannot satisfy even their basic needs. This attitude satisfies the sense of pride of possessions, but this can never be called happiness.

Unless we really find where happiness lies, we cannot really be happy.

Some ask people to do this and do that and say, “This way your desires would be satisfied. You would get the desired objects and become happy.” People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires. But it is not possible to satisfy one’s desires because there are countless desires of countless people and the material things are limited. Then new desires arise as soon as the previous ones are satisfied. Therefore, desires, which are changing all the time, can never be satisfied.

Happiness is a characteristic of a good life, that is, a life in which a person fulfills (履行) human nature in an excellent way. People have a set of purposes which are typically human: these belong to our nature. Happiness is also a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated (培养), and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives and come to being happy. Happiness lies in the distribution of easiness among others. Happiness stands for forgiveness and justice. Happiness is the name of struggle and courage. Happiness may be founded in seeking of true knowledge and rule of wisdom. Happiness may be shared in service and duty. This life is combination of joys and sorrows, and honest efforts should be done to make this life journey full of happiness, love, peace and harmony.

1. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To show how to achieve happiness.

B. To encourage people to achieve happiness.

C. To explain the features of happiness.

D. To argue how to understand happiness.

2. According to the passage, people who think happiness lies in imagination will try to achieve happiness by 　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. looking towards those with fewer possessions

B. looking towards people having more wealth

C. imagining how rich you will be in the future

D. imagining that you have a five-storey building

3.The writer doesn’t think that happiness lies in the satisfaction of desires because 　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. no desires of a person can be satisfied at all

B. ever-changing desires can never be satisfied

C. there isn’t enough money to meet people’s needs

D. the desires of a person are limited

4.In the writer’s opinion, happiness 　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. can be achieved easily by earning money

B. must belong to those with rich knowledge

C. can be gained by setting small goals

D. can be gained by controlling inner experience

5.According to the last paragraph, who can have real happiness?

A. Jack who often struggles with others.

C. Mike who always forgives others’ mistakes.

D. Tim whose requirements are always met.
