Leading a happy life is associated with being a “taker“ , while leading a meaningful
13、life corresponds with being a “giver“.Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want. People who are happy tend to think that life is easy. They are in good physical health and able to buy the things that they need and want. Happiness is about satisfying our needs and desires. The pursuit(
14、追求)of happiness is often associated with selfish behavior. Animals have needs and desires and they can feel happy too. What sets human beings apart from animals is not the pursuit of happiness, but the pursuit of meaning, which is unique to humans.We can often find meaning in helping others or makin
15、g a sacrifice(牺牲)for a “greater good“. Meaning often comes at the expense of happiness. When people have invested themselves in something bigger than themselves, they worry more and have higher levels of stress and anxiety in their lives than happy people. Volunteering(做义工)in rural schools, for exam
16、ple, is meaningful but also involves hardship.Happiness, like any emotion, is felt in the here and nowit eventually fades away. However, meaning is enduring. It connects the past to the present to the future.31 What is the main idea of the passage?（A）A happy life is basically different from a meanin

20、asts（C） defining（D）classifying35 Our traditional belief has it that morning larks are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise. But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand(占上风). Researchers have revealed that night owls(夜猫子)are generally brighter and wealthi
21、er than those able to get up early in the morning.Experts examined the habits of 1000 youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early. School performance and inductive(归纳的)reasoning were measured and academic(学业的)grades in
22、 the major subjects were also taken into consideration.The results show that evening types score higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and academic performance. The night owls also have a greater capacity to think concept
23、ually(概念性地)and analyze. Such abilities have been linked to creative thinking, better jobs and higher incomes.Morning larks, however, often get better exam results in school, possibly because lessons are held at wrong time of day for night owls.36 The underlined expression “morning larks“ in Paragrap

27、rning larks often score higher in exams, possibly because_.（A）they are generally brighter（B） they are early to bed and early to rise（C） they have a greater capacity to analyze（D）the arrangement of lessons fits their body clocks40 While drunken driving may be decreasing, traffic safety experts remain
28、 troubled over how to cope with another alcohol-related problem: drunken pedestrian(行人). Studies have shown that pedestrians injured and killed by cars are often extremely drunk.Some types of pedestrian accidents have been decreasing in the U. S. , especially those involving children, but the number
29、 of drunken adult pedestrians killed in traffic has remained relatively constant at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in traffic accidents is at least 7000 or one of every seven highway deaths.Studies have revealed some of the causes, including a lack of adult supervision(
30、监督)for children, long delays in traffic signals that encourage jaywalking(无视交通规则任意行走), less attention paid to pedestrian accidents in the past, and few methods to regulate walking habits. However, the most challenging problem, according to some experts, is alcohol-related, although pulled, researche

34、 discuss how to cope with_.（A）drunken driving（B） drunken jaywalking（C） alcohol-related pedestrian accidents（D）traffic accidents involving children45 In writing Smart Thinking, I myself learnt as much as I would hope for its readers and so, in the end, it was an easy decision to produce a new edition
35、.This second edition reflects my experiences of teaching with Smart Thinking over the years since it was first published.

36、ssistance has been provided in the earlier chapters of this edition to help readers with more complicated skills, and later chapters on reasoning and on research have been expanded. The final chapter is now a fully worked example of the skills offering a model of the power of the approach I am oudin
