Heather McCoy ：
    Entering a bookstore, one cannot help but notice entire shelves devoted to books boasting knowledge of the trtle path to happiness.
    Whether this wave of infomercials and books can actually make people happier is the question．Happiness cannot be found by adhering to a narrow set of steps or rules． Finding happiness is not as simple as following a how-to manual, it is something that every person must find in his or her own way．
    Gary RusseH：  
    Does happiness grow proportionally with wealth? Hardly．
    Experience teaches US material satisfaction comes only when one finds himself wealthier than those around him; and, in a like manner, one feels unhappy only when finding himself poorer than his friends or relatives．
    So, a millionaire will experience a feeling of being lowered when confronting a billionaire, while a worker with a monthly salary of several hundred dollars becomes the envy of the villagers in remote mountainous regions．
    David Niven：
    True happiness is not a result from human action．Results are temporary whereas happiness is everywhere and can neither be created nor destroyed．The happiness is realized by understanding one’s own SELE. With true happiness there is no place for disappointments! True happiness may mean pain and restraint in the beginning but will lead to eternal joy and freedom．To achieve true happiness, we should isolate and remove the negatives．
    Joshua Patty：
    Happiness is a state of mind．You can be happy in almost any situation．Likewise,  you can be unhappy in an equal number of situations．In the end，it’s your decision．
    If one can control one’s unhappiness, then one must be able to control one’s happiness．As far as I know, the human genome project has not been able to identify a single part of any human chromosome which is responsible for happiness．
    Laura Johnson：
    So what makes me a happy person? Studying to be a journalist because I love to write, not because it pays a lot of money．Skiing in the winter snow and swimming in the summer sun．Spending time with my close friends from home that like the real me just as much as the old me．Being in a stable family．Reading romance novels and watching bizarre movies．Having a boyfriend who knows more about rock and roll history than I do．
    Note: there are two extra statements．
Statements
[A] Happiness lies in persistent pursuit．
[B] Happiness is in your own hand．
[C] Freedom is positively related to happiness．
[D] Happiness is based on comparison．
[E] There does not exist a guide to happiness．
[F] Happiness is a balance between man and nature．
[G] Happiness is all about doing what you want to．

选项
答案[E]
解析 推理题。Heather McCoy认为寻找幸福不是从参考书里找到如何做那 么简单，而且遵从某些固定的步骤或者规则也是无法找到幸福的。他认为 幸福必须通过每个人自己的方式才能找到。由此说明世界上根本不存在通 向幸福的指南，因此应选择[E] 。
