also expect japanese people to be extremely positive, seeing as though they have the highest life expectancy. but clearly wealth and good health do not guarantee happiness after both countries failed to make the top ten most positive countries.the poll (民意测验) of nearly 150 000 people around the world found that seven of the worlds 10 countries with the most upbeat attitudes are in latin america. gallup asked about 1 000 people in each of 148 countries if they were wellrested, had been treated with respect, smiled or laughed a lot, learned or did something interesting and felt feelings of enjoyment the previous day.in panama and paraguay, 85 percent of those polled said yes to all five, putting those countries at the top of the list. they were followed closely by el salvador, venezuela, trinidad and tobago, thailand, guatemala, the philippines, ecuador and costa rica.the people least likely to report positive emotions lived in singapore, the wealthy and orderly citystate that ranks among the most developed in the world. other wealthy countries also sat surprisingly low on the list. germany and france tied with the poor african state of somaliland for 47th place.many of the seven countries which were most positive do poorly in traditional measures of wellbeing, like guatemala, a country torn by decades of civil war followed by waves of gangdriven criminality that give it one of the highest killing rates in the world. guatemala sits just above iraq on the united nations human development index, a composite of life expectancy, education and per capita income. but it ranks seventh in positive emotions. in guatemala, its a culture of friendly people who are always smiling, said luz castillo, a 30yearold surfing instructor. despite all the problems that were facing, were surrounded by natural beauty that lets us get away from it all.the poll shows that prosperous nations can also be deeply unhappy ones. and povertystricken ones are often positive, or at least a close approximation (大约) of it.文章大意：本文为一篇调查报道。通过对世界各国的民意测验发现，幸福指数与健康和财富无关。12_ may feel the most unhappy according to the poll.apeople from qatar bpeople from thailandcpeople from japan dpeople

toronto and the university of california.surprisingly little has been published on the subject of parental lying, so gail heyman, professor of psychology at the university of california, diem luu, a former student of the university of california, and kang lee, professor at the university toronto, set out to explore the underresearched phenomenon. they asked us participants in two related studies about parents lying to their childreneither for the purpose of promoting appropriate behavior or to make them happy.in one of the studies, many parents reported they told their young children that bad things would happen if they didnt go to bed or eat what they were supposed to. other parents reported inventing magical creatures. one explained, “we told our daughter that if she wrapped up all her pacifiers (橡皮奶嘴) like gifts, the fair would come and give them to the children who needed them.”in the other study, the researchers surveyed college students recollections about their parents lying and obtained similar results: parents often lie to their children even as they tell them that lying is unacceptable.the researchers refer to this practice as “parenting by lying”. “we are surprised by how often parenting by lying takes place，” said lee. though heyman thinks that there are occasions when it is appropriate to be less than truthful with a child, she urges parents to think through the issues and consider alternatives before using lies.“children sometimes behave in ways that are disruptive or are likely to harm their longterm interests，” said heyman. “it is common for them to try out a range of strategies, including lying, to stop them. however, parents should be concerned about the possible longterm negative consequences to childrens beliefs about honesty.”文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。父母常教育孩子要诚实，但他们自己有时却对孩子撒谎。研究人员就此现象进行了调研，并且提出家长应该考虑到对孩子经常说谎可能会造成的长期的负面影响的结论，并建议家长考虑一些其他的教育方法。16the subject of parental lying _.awas not allowed to be researched in the
