A worried, weary parent might imagine the answer to sound something like this: Sex, drugs, a little rock n roll (摇滚乐). Maybe some cash, or at least the car keys. It turns out the real answer is quite different. Spending time with family is the top answer to that open-ended question, according to an extensive surveymore than 100 questions asked of 1,280 people ages 13-24 conducted by The Associated Press and MTV on the nature of happiness among Americas young people. Next is spending time with friends, followed by time with a significant other. And even better for parents: Nearly three quarters of young people say their relationship with their parents makes them happy. “Theyre my foundation,” says Kristiana St.John, 17, a high-school student from Queens in New York. “My mom tells me that even if I do something stupid, shes still going to love me no matter what. Just knowing that makes me feel very happy and blessed.” You might think money would be clearly tied to a general sense of happiness. But almost no one says “money” when asked what makes them happy, though people with the highest family incomes are generally happier with life. However, having highly educated parents is a stronger predictor of happiness than income. From the body to the soul: Close to half say religion and spirituality are very important. And more than half say they believe there is a higher power that has an influence over things that make them happy. Beyond religion, simply belonging to an organized religious group makes people happier.And parents, heres some more for you: Most young people in school say it makes them happy. Overwhelmingly (压倒性地), young people think marriage would make them happy and want to be married some day. Most also want to have kids.Finally, when asked to name their heroes, nearly half of respondents mentioned one or both of their parents. The winner, by a nose: Mom.36. In America, it is essential that young people should_.ks5u A. make some moneyB. enjoy rocknroll C. stay with parentsD. have their own cars37. What Kristiana St.John says shows that_. A. her mother is clever as other mothers B. her mother loves her unconditionally C. she is stupid and often does foolish things D. she takes it a happy thing to cheat her mother38. To a general sense of happiness, the survey indicates_. A. money is the most concerned. B. work condition is the key factor. C. parents quality is vital. D. friends quality is decisive.39. From the 7th paragraph we can infer that_. A. the body is more important than the soul. B. spirituality is more important than money. C. religion is accepted by a large number of Americans. D. religion group have saved many young Americans.B A teenager from Thousand Oaks received a warm welcome as he sailed into Marina del Rey on July 16,2009, becoming the youngest person to circle the globe by sea alone. Zac Sunderland arrived in Marina del Rey with his 36-foot boat Intrepid at about 10 am local time. During his 28,000-nautical-mile journey, he braved storms, equipment failures and a conflict with suspected pirates (海盗). “Its great to be back.” Sunderland, of Thousand Oaks, California, said after he was welcomed home by a group of friends. Fewer than 250 people have sailed around the globe alone, according to the American Sailing Assoiciation, which certified (证实) Sunderlands feat. ks5u He left Marina del Rey, just south of Los Angeles, on June 14, 2008, and celebrated his 17th birthday at sea while off Africas Cape of Good Hope. His return was delayed near the end of his voyage when his boat had a broken bulkhead(舱壁) in rough seas off Mexico, forcing him to stop at Puerto Vallarta long enough to wait for his father to fly there to make repairs. Another tense moment occurred in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia where the Intrepid was approached by a suspected a pirated boat. The intruders fled after a plane flew overhead and Sunderland climbed onto his deck with a gun to keep them off, said Charlie Nobles, executive director of the association.
