第四部分阅读理解共计30分，每小题2分} 26一35小题：阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个正确答案，并在答题纸上写出所选的字母符号。短文理解1 "Are you the happiest man in the world?"When asked this question,most people would say no.They don't think they are the happiest of the people around them.They would point out that one of their neighbors is happier than anyone of them,"Doctor Frank has a career himself.His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community.No,I don't think I am happier than Doctor Frank.At least my career is not as successful as his. Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier-a relative,a close friend or, often,someone we even hardly know.I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy.He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters,and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host.I remember thinking he was one ofthe lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right.Once we talked about the Internet,he is grateful for its existence. He told me,because he could look up information on diabetes-the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be(passed down to his lovely children.When I heard this,I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life. This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness:there is little relation between the situations of people's lives and how happy they are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life than others,yet they are essentially unhappy.And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault.As a bald man told me,"Whenever I enter a room,all I see is hair. It is hard for us to give up the image of"being perfect."As nothing is perfect,anyone can be unhappy.It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy.True happiness lies in struggling to be happy. 26.According to the author,most people would they are the happiest in the world.
