【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Researchers have shown that your talent for happiness is, to a large degree, determined by your genes(基因). We can do this by overcoming negative emotions and developing positive emotions.
Strategy(策略)1:
The first step is to make a choice to be happy. In Seeking Happiness, Bertrand Russell said, “Happiness must be an achievement rather than a gift of the gods, and in this achievement, effort must play a great part.”
Once you've decided to be happier, you can choose strategies for achieving happiness.
Strategy 2: Develop gratitude(感激).
In Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily “gratitude exercise”.
Strategy 3: Remember, money can't buy happiness.
Research shows: Yes, “we always think that some things are wrong because they cannot bring us happiness.” writes Daniel Gilbert in Stumbling on Happiness.
Strategy 4: Take part in meaningful activities.
“People are seldom happier,” says Jackson, “than when they’re doing meaningful activities.”
Yet, he has found that the most common leisure(休閑)activity — watching TV — produces some of the lowest levels of happiness. Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily, he writes in Finding Flow.
A. Choose to be happy.
B. Seek happiness.
C. However, psychologists believe we can pursue happiness.
D. This drives bitterness from our heart, and promotes happiness.
E. Happiness is decided by many things.
F. To get more out of life, we need to put more into it.
G. More money doesn't often bring more happiness.
