They were identified by brightly colored pieces of silk worn around the neck. Known as cravats (围巾 ), these became a popular fashio

4、n item in France and eventually evolved into the tie.4. It"s an interesting story, but it doesn"t tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth or silkaround their necks. The answer seems to be about identification (身份证明 ). In the 19th-century Britain,tieswereused byuniversities,mili

5、taryregiments ( 团 ),sports clubs, schools and gentleman"s clubs. Each tie was in a particular set of colors which identifiedthe wearer as amember of that organization. Wearing ties was also the mark of Britain"s most powerful classes. That made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect.

11、sychology professor, has spent his whole professional life studying what makes people happy, comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.2. Many people would say that this question does not need an answer. But Professor Deiner has one anyway.

12、"If you"re a cheerful, happy person, your marriage is more likely to last, and you"re more likely to make money and be successful at your job. On average, happy people have stronger immune ( 免疫的 ) systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer."3. So who are the world&

13、quot;shappiest people? It depends on how the word is defined. There isindividual happiness, the sense of joy we get when we do something we like. But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave. According to Professor Deiner, the

14、Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.4. "In the West, the individualistic( 个人主义的 ) culture means that your mood matters muchmore than it does in the East. People ask themselves, what can I do that"s fun or interesting? They become unhappy when t

15、hey can"t do any of these things. If you ask people from Japan or China if they are happy, they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives. If not much has gone wrong, then they are satisfied. "5. People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture, Prof

16、essor Deiner found. "The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame. Hispanic (西班牙语言的 ) cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others."6. Income also made a big difference to people"s happiness, but only at the lowest levels. Average income earners in

17、the US were much happier than people in poverty. But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes. It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.7. But can we be too happy? "You get people who are actually happy, but they think happiness iss

18、o importantthat they try to be even happier. This desire to be always happy is a product of individualism, where the emphasis is on you individually, your emotions and feeling good. Peoplecan end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good enough for them."9. Paragraph 2 A. Happie

30、evolution into overdrive (高速运转 ).Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford"s friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Ford"s HighlandPark plant was humming(嗡嗡作响 ) along in 1914,
