3、有人问他最近如何,他会回答:“我好得不得了!”,他是个很独特的经理,因为当让从一家餐馆跳槽另一家餐馆时,总是有几个男服务员跟随他。,这几位服务员紧跟着杰瑞,因为他天生会激励人。如果某个员工碰到了不顺心的事,杰瑞就会,教他如何看待事情的乐观的一面。,D,I was curious about this guy,so one day I asked Jerry,“I dont get it!You cant be a positive person all the time.How do you do it?”,我对此人非常好奇,于是有一天我就问他,“我真不明白,你总不可能一直乐观吧。你是如何保持

7、ife is your own,choice.I reflected on what Jerry said.,生活就是不断地选择。每种情况都是个选择,由你来选择如何让应对。由你来选择别人对你心情的影响,可以选好心情,可以选坏心情。如何生活时你自己的选择。我回味着杰瑞所说的话。,Soon I left the restaurant industry to start my own business.We,lost touch,but often thought about him when I made a choice in my life.Several years later,I hear

10、到了杰瑞。,我问他感觉如何,他回答说。“好得不能再好了。想看看我的伤疤吗?”,I declined to see his wounds,but did ask him what had gone through,his mind as the robbery took place.“The first thing that went through my,mind was that I should have locked the back door.”Jerry replied.“Then,as I lay on the floor,I remembered that I had two c

12、eir eyes,I read,hes a dead man.,我没有看他的伤疤,而是问他抢劫发生是他心里在想什么。“我首先想到的是,,我应该把后门锁上,”杰瑞回到道,“后来,我倒在地上,这是我想到我有两种选择:,我可以选择生,也可以选择死。我选择了生。”,“难道你那是不害怕吗?”我问。杰瑞接着说,”急救护理人员都很棒。他们不断,对我说我会好起来的。担当他们将我送入急救室时,医生们的表情把我吓坏了。我,看到他们的眼神仿佛在说,这个人完了。”,“,I knew I needed to take action.”“What did you do?”I asked.“Well,a nurse ask

18、 is everything for a happy life,TEXT B,Searching for Smiles,Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life,and the reply will probably be:“to be happy.”Yet happiness is hard to get.You cannot buy it in shops.It does not grow naturally in the countryside.There is no such thing as a
19、degree course in happiness.,如果你问起人们在生活中最想得到什么,世界上任何地方的大多数人都会回答说:“快乐”。然而,快乐来之不易。商店中买不到,乡野中长不出,大学里也不会开设快乐方面的学问课程。,But there is such a thing as a professor of happiness.His name is Ed,Deiner,and he is a psychology professor at the University of Illinois in the U.S.Ed,Deiner,has spent his whole professi
20、onal life studying what makes people happy,comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy enjoying ourselves.,不过,确实有专门研究快乐的教授,此人名叫埃德,戴纳,是美国的伊利诺斯大学的心里学教授。他毕生都在研究使人们感到快乐的因素,比较不同的文化之间快乐程度的差异,想找出人们喜欢快乐的确切原因。,Many people would say that this question does mot ne
21、ed an answer.But,Professor,Deiner,has one anyway.“If youre a cheerful,happy person,your,marriage is more likely to last,and youre more likely to make money and,be successful at your job.On average,happy people have stronger immune,systems,and there is some evidence that they live longer.”,许多人也许会说,这个
22、问题无需回答。尽管如此,戴纳教授却自有答案:“如果你是个快乐的人,你的婚姻就更可能持久,你就更可能赚到钱并在工作中取得成功。一般来说,快乐的人有着更强的免疫系统,有证据证明他们更加长寿,Happiness is hard to define,says Professor,Deiner,.It means different,things in different cultures.Some language do not even have a word for it.,That is a sad thought.,So who are the worlds happiest people,?
23、It depends on how the word,is defined.There is individual happiness,,,the sense of joy we get when,we do something we like.But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we,get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave.,According to Professor,Deiner,,,the Western world pursues
24、 individual,happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.,戴纳教授说,给快乐下定义是十分困难的。在不同的文化中,快乐有着不同的,含义,有些语言中连“快乐”这个词都没有,这着实让人感到悲哀。,那么,谁是世界上最快乐的人呢?这就是看快乐是如何定义的了。有一种快乐叫,个人快乐,我们做自己喜欢的事情就会有这种个人快乐感。此外,入股我们知道别人,尊敬我们并赞同我们的行为,我们也会获得另一种(有别于个人快乐的)满足感。,根据戴纳教授的观点,西方人追求个人快乐,而亚洲人更偏爱相互的满足感。,“,In the West,,,the indivi
25、dualistic,(个人主义的),culture means,that your mood matters much more than it does in the East.People ask,themselves,,,what can I do thats fun or interesting?They become unhappy,when they cant do any of these things.If you ask people from Japan or,China if they are happy,,,they tend to look at what has g
26、one wrong in,their lives.If not much has gone wrong,,,then they are satisfied.”,在西方的个人主义文化中,个人的心情感受要比在东方文化中重要得多。,(西方)人总是自问,有什么好玩的事情可做?如果找不到有趣的事情可做,,他们就会感到不开心。然而,如果你问日本人或中国人是否快乐,他们往往会,考虑生活中是不是出了问题。如果没出什么问题,他们就会搞到满足。,People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture,,,Pro
27、fessor,Deiner,found.“The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame.Hispanic,(西班牙语言的,)cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others.”,戴纳教授发现,西班牙以及说西班牙语的国家拥有最快乐的文化。“最大的文化差异在于人们如何认识荣辱。与其他文化相比,西班牙语文化中的荣耀感远多于羞耻感。”,Income also made a big difference to peoples happiness,,,
28、but only at the lowest levels.Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty.But millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes.It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.,收入对人们是否快乐也有很大的影响,但这种影响只在较低层次上发挥作用,在美国,中等收入者比穷人
29、要快乐得多,但百万富翁们纸币中等收入者稍微快,了一点点。这似乎表明,钱不必多,只要没有后顾之忧,我们就快乐。在戴纳,教授的研究中,斯堪的纳维亚国家的人最快乐,他们收入高,而且财富分配相,当均匀。,But can we be too happy,?“,You get people who are actually happy,,,but they think happiness is so important that they try to be even happier.,This desire to be always happy is a product of individualism
30、where the,emphasis is on you individually,,,your emotions and feeling good.People,can end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good enough,for them.”,So happiness can be a kind of problem,too.But at least its the kind that leaves people smiling,会不会出现快乐过头的情况呢?“你常常会看到很多人实际很快乐,但他们认为快
31、乐十分重要,于是他们孜孜以求,希望更加快乐。其实我们应该中庸一点,只有这样,有喜事发生时我们的快乐情绪才能上来。这种想一直保持快的欲望是有个人主义带来的;个人主义强调个人,强调心情,强调自我感觉一定要好,但这种人往往最终会感到不快乐,因为平平常常的快乐对他们来说已经不够了。”,这么说,快乐也成问问题,但这个问题至少,还能够给人们带来笑颜,Comprehension,Answer the following questions,according to the text,1.What is ED,Deiner,?What does he study?,ED,Deiner,is _,_.,He h
