37、eet many world-famous poetsC. exchange artworks D. have new experience with booksBIt has been said that “Happiness is like a butterfly which, when run after, is always beyond our grasp, but which, if you sit down quietly, may dance beside you.”Social scientists have caught the butterfly. After 40 ye
38、ars of research, they find happiness results from three major origins: genes, events and values. Armed with this knowledge and a few simple rules, we can improve our lives and the lives of those around us. We can even construct a system that carries out our founders promises and gives Americans the
39、power to seek happiness.Scientists have studied happiness for decades. They begin simply enough-by asking people how happy they are.The data available to social scientists is the University of Chicagos General Social Survey, a survey of Americans conducted since 1972. The numbers on happiness from t
40、he survey are surprisingly similar. Every other year for four decades, about a third of Americans have said theyre “very happy” and about half report being 9“pretty happy.” Only about 10 to 15 percent typically say theyre “not too happy.” Scientists have used advanced techniques to check these respo
41、nses, and such survey results have proved accurate.Beneath these averages are some differences. For many years, researchers found that women were happier than men, although recent studies show that the gap has narrowed or may even have changed to the opposite. Politicians might be interested to lear
42、n that traditional women feel particularly happy, about 40 percent say they are very happy which makes them slightly happier than traditional men and obviously happier than open-minded women. The unhappiest of all are open-minded men; only about a fifth consider themselves very happy.But even the pe
43、ople of the same age, sex, and so on vary in their happiness. What explains this?The first answer involves our genes. Researchers at the University of Minnesota have tracked twins who were separated as babies and raised by separate families. These researchers found that we receive a surprising part
44、of our happiness-around 48 percent from parents. (Since I discovered this, Ive been blaming my parents for my bad moods.)If about half of our happiness is determined by our genes, what about the other half? Its attractive to suppose that one-time events-like getting a dream job or receive an unexpec
45、ted gift-will permanently bring the happiness we seek. And studies suggest that such events do control a big part of our happiness-up to 40 percent.But while one-time events do govern a fair amount of our happiness, each events influence proves rather short-lived. People suppose that major changes l
46、ike moving to California or getting a big raise will make them permanently better off. They wont. Huge goals may take years of hard work to meet, and the struggle itself may be worthwhile, but the happiness they create dissipates after just a few months.To review: About half of happiness is genetica
47、lly determined. Up to an additional 40 percent comes from the things that have occurred in our recent past-but that wont last very long.That leaves just about 12 percent. That might not sound like much, but the good news is that we can bring that 12 percent under our control. It turns out that choos
48、ing to seek four basic values of faith, family, community and work is the surest path to happiness, given that a certain percentage is genetic and not under our 10control in any way. To go after the happiness within our reach, we do best to devote ourselves to faith, family, community and meaningful work.59. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5 that_.A. most Americans feel unhappyB. women are always happier than menC. about 40 % of American women are very
