Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A

28、, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.There is a Web site called the “World Database of Happiness”. It combines and analyzes the results of hundreds of surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are

29、_50_, but a few are surprising.The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general happiness. It is a cliché(陳詞濫調(diào)) to say that money cant buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be _51_ by research. Many people still stick to the belief that

30、gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably _52_. Studies have been _53_ on people who acquired sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the _54_ joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to r

31、evert to the way they _55_ before they became rich. Previously contented(滿意的) people continue to be contented, _56_ those who were miserable before sink back into misery. If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The autho

32、rities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed _57_ of happiness in different countries. _58_, people in America, Canada, and Singapore are very happy; people living in India and Russia, not surprisingly, are not happy. Other surveys consistently _59_ the importance of relationships. _60_ r

33、elationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment. The Web site suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the _61_ that bring the greatest happiness. Nowadays people look to technology as a(n) _62_ source of satisfaction. People increasingly spend more time al

34、one watching TV or surfing the Internet _63_ spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the Web sites research is accurate, time spent with your family is a better _64_ than time spent making money.50. A. different B. pre
