5．Are you happy？Do you remember a time when you were happy？Are you seeking happiness today？
Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness．Some have put their hearts and efforts into their work．Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol．Meanwhile，untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars，exotic（異國(guó)的） vacation homes and other popular"toys"．Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact：people are looking for a lasting source of happiness．
UnfortunatelyI believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it．I have heard many people say that，"I'll be happy when I get my new promotion．"Or"I'll be happy when I lose that extra 20pounds．"It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a"response"to having，being or doing something．
In life，we all experience stimulus（激勵(lì)） and response．Today，some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus，and happiness is a response； a great paying job is a stimulus，and happiness is a response； a loving relationship is a stimulus，and happiness is a response．This belief leaves us the thinking and feeling：I'll be happy when …
It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true．I believe that happiness is a stimulus and a response is what life brings to those who are truly happy．When we are happy，we tend to have more success in our work．When we are happy，people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships．When we are happy，we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health．Happiness is not a response but a stimulus．
Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives．For unknown reason to me，many choose to be painful，unsuccessful and angry most of the time．Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want--we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy．

分析 文章大意：本文講的是在生活中，我們經(jīng)常會(huì)有不快樂的時(shí)候．事實(shí)上，我們只有先快樂，才能得到我們自己想要的．
解答 25．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段Some have put their hearts and efforts into their work．Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol．告訴我們：很多人喜歡投身于工作，許多人喜歡吸食毒品或者酗酒，因?yàn)樗麄冇X得快樂，所以A、B兩項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；第二段中untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars，exotic（異國(guó)的） vacation homes and other popular"toys"．還告訴我們：許許多多的人擁有了自己的昂貴的汽車后，他們就找到了快樂，所以C項(xiàng)正確．而D項(xiàng)與原文敘述不符，太絕對(duì)化．因此答案選C．
26．B 推理判斷題． 根據(jù)文章第四段前兩句話 In life，we all experience stimulus（激勵(lì)） and response．Today，some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus，and happiness is a response可知，如今，人們都認(rèn)為昂貴的轎車、高薪的工作都是一種刺激，而后才有了快樂，也就是說，他們得到了自己想要的東西，所以覺得快樂．A項(xiàng)說反了，C、D是B的具體表現(xiàn)形式．因此答案選B．
27．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段For unknown reason to me，many choose to be painful，unsuccessful and angry most of the time．Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want--we usually get things we want AFTER we choose to be happy．可知如果你想得到你想要的，你首先要選擇高興，因此答案A項(xiàng)正確，B正好與作者的觀點(diǎn)相悖，C、D兩項(xiàng)文章沒有討論到，所以不正確．
28．B 推理判斷題．依據(jù)作者在最后三段的闡述，可知幸福是無條件的，覺得幸福你就會(huì)擁有你所想要的，而且還會(huì)超出你的想象，所以B項(xiàng)正確
