If the developing-world Colombians are happy mostly because they really like to be and the developed-world Japanese are not so happy because, for them, personal happiness isn’t part of the plan, it would seem to follow that one’s happiness has little to do with material well-being and a lot to do win attitude — at least when it comes to filling out surveys. The planet’s happiest souls, as determined by the World Happiness Database at Rotterdam’s Erasmus University, are the Danes, the Swiss and the Maltese, all of whom score 8 on a 10-point scale of happiness. Most of Asians, including the Japanese, score 6 on this measure, while troubled Pakistan is near the bottom at 4.3.
Biswas-Diener agrees that attitude counts, but also notes that highly developed nations, as a group, score consistently high, suggesting that it doesn’t hurt a country to pave its highways and disinfect its water supply. Democracy, as measurement tor most of the world, is a sure guide to happiness. And there are no superpowers when it comes to happiness. The U.S. is pretty active, but in the study of international college students, it ranked the eighth, tied with Slovenia. It would appear that merely living as if you are No.1, and running around the world shouting you are No.1, doesn’t mean that you feel like No.1 inside.
Even Biswas-Diener cautions that national-happiness rankings are crude instruments. That’s especially true when comparing West with East, cultures where the pursuit of happiness is a national obsession (迷恋) with cultures where, as the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tze put it, "happiness is the absence of the longing for happiness". Still, if you belong to one of the highest-ranking countries, you’ll enjoy gazing at the big scoreboard and thinking about the source of your collective joy. Whereas, if your motherland fares badly, you might want to consider spending more time in Denmark.
What the Chinese philosopher said probably means that______.
选项
A、only the person himself knows whether he is happy or not
B、those who fight for happiness can never be happy
C、happiness will be available to those who don’t seek it deliberately
D、you can never get the happiness without a long struggle for it
答案
C
解析
本题为细节题。中国哲学家的原话(第三段第二句的最后)“happiness is the absence of the longing for happiness”的意思是“幸福就是对幸福无所求”,和选项C.happiness will be available to those who don’t seek it deliberately是同一个意思。选项A是一个常识,但和原话意思有较大差异;选项B看似正确,但存在逻辑错误,不刻意追求幸福就是一种幸福,并不代表追求幸福的人就一定得不到幸福;选项D和原话意思也不一致。
