39、三種途徑可查到更多關(guān)于黃山的信息。故選B項(xiàng)。BPoets,songwriters and leftwing politicians hate the idea,but for decades,opinionpoll evidence has been clear: money buys happiness and the richer you are,the more likely you are to express satisfaction with your life.Until now,a survey of 43 countries published on October 30th

44、more satisfaction than their poorer neighbors.The study divided respondents into categories with higher and lower incomes and fewer and more household goods.In every country in every group, richer folk with more goods expressed higher levels of happiness.So at a personal level,money does buy happine

45、ss.And if you ask people about different aspects of their liveshealth,family life,religion,standard of livingit turns out that satisfaction with living standards still has the biggest influence on happiness.24. Whats the standard view of happiness and income?A. Income is not closely related to happi

46、ness.B. Happiness does not depend on how much you earn.C. The higher your income is, the more likely you will feel satisfied.D. The more you are satisfied, the more you can earn every month.25.

55、ome steam, so dont take it seriously.I dont really want you to pay close attention to what Im saying.Just pay attention to what Im feeling.”Mostly we mean several things at once.A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner,“This step has to be fixed before Ill buy.”The owner says,“

56、Its been like that for years.”Actually,the step hasnt been like that for years,but the unspoken message is:“I dont want to fix it.We put up with it.Why cant you？The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it,when it occurred,the relate

57、d conditions or situation,and how it was said.When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing.But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss.The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior.We would do well to listen for how messages are presented.The words,“If sure has been nice to have you over,can be sa
