For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Happiness is for everyone. You dont need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will congratulate you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it close, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.40.

Happiness.D. Life.You dont need millions to be happy. In fact, at the Happiness Institute in Australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enough.The institute opened its doors last year, and, since then, men and women of all ages have been paying A$200 an hour (US$140) for lessons on how to feel great.“You can actually increase your happiness levels. Thats what we teach,” said Timothy Sharp, founder of the institute.Experts say that only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income, assets (资产) and other financial factors. As much as 85 percent comes from things such as attitude, life control and relationships.Most of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels havent changed to reflect that.Studies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happiness.Many decades ago, the “sage (智者) of Baltimore, Maryland”, editor HL Mencken, defined wealth as earning US$100 more than your “wifes sisters husband.”Behavioural economists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is because we compare ourselves to people better off materially.“The argument is that if you want to be happy theres a very simple thing you can do: Compare yourself to people who are less well off than you poorer, smaller house, car,” said Sharp.The Happiness Institute aims to show you how to overcome these unh
