Robert Levine and his colleagues have studied the speed of life in cities around the world and across the U.S. In a series of experiments they measured how fast a single pedestrian in a downtown center covered a distance of 60 feet, timed how long it took to complete a simple commercial transaction, and recorded the accuracy of randomly selected clocks in the downtown business area. They found that places with a faster pace of life also had stronger economies, and that people in larger cities tended to move faster than those in less populated areas.So as you might expect, fast-moving people are associated with fast-moving economies. But does that faster life translate into greater happiness? In faster places, people were more likely to smoke, less likely to take the time to help strangers in need, and more likely to die from heart diseases. Yet Levine and his colleagues found that people in faster places tended to report feeling somewhat happier with their lives than those who lived in slower places. A citys pace of life was indeed “significantly related” to the physical, social, and psychological well-being of its inhabitants.However, the relationship between income and reported happiness is far from obvious. According to the “Easterlin paradox(悖论，反论)”(named after economist Richard Easterlin), once people have enough money to meet their basic needs, having more money is not necessarily correlated with higher self-reported happiness. Easterlins claims are controversial and not universally accepted; even if his theory is correct, wealthier nations might be happier overall if they address the basic needs to more of their people. In any case, the ongoing debate indicates that we need to be careful when making connections between happiness and overall economic factors.Among individuals in a society, busyness-or the feeling of busyness-seems to be an important factor in well-being. That feeling of busyness-of having a lot to do and too little time in which to do it is often associated with stress and anxiety. However in many contexts being “busy” is badge of honor: Busy parents are seen as devoted to their childrens well-being and the busy lawyer can charge a premium hourly rate. In US studies, the happiest people reported that they were busy, in the sense that they had little excess time, yet did not feel rushed.Levines work raises the possibility that an individuals feelings about their use of time contribute as much or more to their happiness as does economics. Now the big challenge is to find out which way the causal chain works: Does the feeling of being active, yet not rushed, contribute to happiness? Or does happiness allow people to perceive(觉察) their use of time in positive ways?56. What can we learn about Levines study? A. It calculated a persons walking distance during a certain period. B. It was carried out for some commercial purposes. C. It researched life rhythm in various economies and areas. D. It was mainly conducted in the western world.57. Which of the following does Easterlin paradox support? A. People in faster places may suffer from poorer health. B. Happiness is possible only when ones basic needs are met. C. People in underdeveloped countries are less happier. D. High income does not necessarily ensure life satisfaction.58. The underlined word inhabitants in paragraph two probably means_. A. people who have some unusual habits. B. people who live in a particular place. C. people who have stable and good jobs. D. people who are healthy and happy.59. We can infer from paragraph 4 that_. A. busy people definitely have a higher degree of happiness. B. people will feel relaxed if they have nothing to do. C. being actively engaged contributes to life satisfaction. D. busy people are supposed to make more money.BDozens of school districts around the country have been looking at these studies and are considering ways to adjust their class schedules.Eric Peterson is head of St. Georges School, a private boarding school for grades 9-12 in the northeastern state of Rhode Island.After looking at the medical research on adolescent sleep needs and observing students in his own school, Peterson consulted with Dr. Judy Owen, a famous pediatrician(儿科医师)and sleep expert.Armed with what he considered to be convincing data. Peterson decided to change his schools start time from 8:00 am to 8:30 am on a trial basis to see if a 30-minute change would make a difference. He was surprised by the results.“What was really astonishing was how many benefits and how significant the benefits were,” he says. “In the research itself, we saw just over a 50 percent decrease in health-center admissions for fatigue, or fatigue-related illness, or rest requests. We saw almost a 35 percent decrease in first-period lateness. Students reported that they were more attentive. They were less sleepy during the day.”And, according to Dr. Patricia Moss, assistant dean for Academic Affairs at St. Georges School, students werent the only ones reporting better results in the classroom. She says virtually all the teachers almost immediately notice much more concentrated in the classroom, and there was definitely a more positive mood all around.“Kids were happier to be there at 8:30 than they were at 8:00, ” she says. “So our experience across the total spectrum was, universally, extremely positive and surprisingly so.”Headmaster Peterson says there was another unexpected area of change when the school changed its start time.“We saw probably a greater then 30 percent increase in student attendance at breakfast, and of the food that they were eating. We ate more than doubled the amount of milk, eggs, fruit and cereal. So it was quality breakfast foods that the kids were eating. So they were better fueled as well as better rested.”Ross and Peterson acknowledge that making schedule changes has been easier at a small, private boarding school than it might be for the larger U. S. public school system. But they are hopeful that others will find a way.“In the end.” Says Peterson, “schools ought to do whats the right thing for their students, first and foremost , and this element of the program is very clear-certain for us as a school-but I think as a general example to other schools, is pretty convincing, and so I would argue that its worth doing.”60. The research conducted by Eric Peterson mainly focused on_. A. the later public school start time. B. the change of class schedule C. adolescent sleep requirements D. the changes in school system61. According to the passage, the following are the benefits of later school start time EXCLUDING_. A. increase in breakfast attendance B. increase in examination scores. C. decrease in health-center admissions D. decrease in first-period lateness62. From the passage we may infer_. A. the practice of later school start time may have negative
