It combines and analyzes the results of hundreds of surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are _50_, but a few are surprising.The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general happiness. It is a clich(陈词滥调) to say that money cant buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be _51_ by research. Many people still stick to the belief that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably _52_. Studies have been _53_ on people who acquired sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the _54_ joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to revert to the way they _55_ before they became rich. Previously contented(满意旳) people continue to be contented, _56_ those who were miserable before sink back into misery. If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed _57_ of happiness in different countries. _58_, people in America, Canada, and Singapore are very happy; people living in India and Russia, not surprisingly, are not happy. Other surveys consistently _59_ the importance of relationships. _60_ relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment. The Web site suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the _61_ that bring the greatest happiness. Nowadays people look to technology as a(n) _62_ source of satisfaction. People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet _63_ spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the Web sites research is accurate, time spent with your family is a better _64_ than time spent making money.50.

This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very_50_. Some stories are toldas ifthey were true. Real people who live in a _51_world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not_52_. They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would beimpossiblefor us.But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only_53_. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, wedo seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than_54_. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way ofthinking. When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our_55_, which is real, and our imagination, which is real in a different way, to make the words come to life in our minds.Both realism and fantasy (幻想)usethe imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we readsomethingrealistic, we have to _56_ that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we_57_that we are real and they arenot. It sounds_58_, but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and_59_the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by_60_that what we read is like real life. _61_, we are writing the book, too.Most of us probably dont think about what is going on in our_62_ when we are reading. We pick up a book and loseourselvesin a good story, eager to find out what will _63_ next. Knowing how we feelwhenwe read can help us become better _64_, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.50. A. different B.possibleC.important D. necessary51.

Concepts of reading have changed 50 over the centuries. During the 1950s and 1960s especially, increased attention has been devoted to 51 the reading process. Although experts agree that reading 52 a complex organization of higher mental 53 , they disagree about the exact nature of the process. Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 54 reading as simply the decoding（解码）of symbols into the sounds they stand for.These authorities 55 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process. Others maintain that reading is inexplainably related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 56 their meaning is not truly reading. The reader, 57 some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 58 reads.Many adults, although they have the ability to read, have never read a book in its 59 . By some experts they would not be 60 as readers. Clearly, the philosophy, objectives, methods and materials of reading will depend on the definition one use. By the most 61 and satisfactory definition, reading is the ability to 62 the sound-symbols code of the language, to interpret meaning for various 63 , at various rates, and at various levels of difficulty, and to do so widely and enthusiastically. 64 , reading is the interpretation of ideas through the use of symbols representing sounds and ideas.50.
