问题     Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent investigations, sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy, one in twenty persons feel very happy. Psychologists have been studying the factors contributing to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.
    A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously under - educated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs. The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle - in- come group or even those with very low incomes. People with college education are somewhat happier than those who didn’t graduated from high schools, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a very high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.
    It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level, no matter where it stands at a given time. The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self - confidence and to self - esteem.
Which of the following statements is NOT true ?
选项 A、People in ideal situations are not necessarily happy.
B、Sometimes the poor may feel happier than the rich.
C、The richer one is, the happier one may be.
D、Those who are satisfied with what they have often feel happy.
答案C
解析 这是一道判断是非的题型。注意题干中的not。从文章首段第四句话“It is not predictable nor is a pemon in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy．”，意思是处在理想环境中的人也并不一定幸福。由此可知，选项A所述符合文义，所以不选。文章第二段第三句“The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle—income group or even those with very low incomes．”意思是讲：富人不一定比中等收入人群甚至低收入人群幸福。可见选项B也符合题意，同时也表明选项C错误，还有，从文章最后一段第一句“It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have，they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level，…”可知选项D，“对自己所拥有的一切感到满足的人通常很幸福”符合题意，所以也不是本题的正确选项。毫无疑问，此题答案为C。
