and tend to live through hard times.They take responsibility for how they got themselves into a mess, and focus on getting themselves out of it as soon as possible.Unhappy people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the “look what happened to me” attitude instead of finding a way through and out to the other side.Most happy people believe in the good in people instead of thinking everyone is out to get them.Generally open and friendly towards people they meet, happy people foster(培养)a sense of community around themselves and meet new people with all open heart.Unhappy people are distrustful of most people they meet and dont think strangers can be trusted.Unfortunately, this behavior slowly closes all chances of meeting new friends.Unhappy people believe someone elses good fortune steals from their own.They believe theres not enough goodness to go around and always compare others against theirs.This leads to jealousy(嫉妒)Happy people know that others good luck and circumstance are just signs of what they also can achieve if they try hard enough.They believe in unlimited possibilities and dont get stuck in thinking one persons good fortune limits their possible outcome in life.Theres only so much space between the two ears.Unhappy people fill that space with constant worry and fear.Happy people experience fear and worry too, but make an important difference between feeling it and living with it.When fear or worry crosses a happy persons mind, theyll ask themselves if theres an action they can take to prevent their fear or worry from happening and they take it.If not, they realize theyre spinning in fear and they lay it down.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文，主要介绍了幸福的人和不幸福的人之间的比较， 希望人们都做一个幸福的人。 1Paragraph 2 mainly shows that unhappy people tend to _Afocus on what they

immediately despair.Shes just taking her time to understand it.But if the joke does eventually make her laugh it will be worth the wait.Scientists have found that while women are slower than men at getting jokes, they enjoy them more.Research shows that women use their brain more than men to process quips(妙语) and have less expectation that they will be funny.When a joke does hit the right note, however, they derive(得到) more pleasure from it.Scientists asked ten men and ten women to look at dozens of black and white cartoons and rate them on a “funniness scale”During the process they underwent sophisticated(复杂) scans that mapped which parts of their brain were lighting up and timed how long it took them to respond to a joke.The_women_tended_to_use_certain_parts_of_their_brain_more_than_the_men.Researcher Professor Allan Reiss said: “Our findings fit the stereotype of how men and women react to humour.We found that women tend to respond more to narrative and wordplay(双关语) than slapstick(闹剧)”Canadian research has shown that men and women use humour for different ends.Men are more likely to use “hostile” humour to criticize each other and establish dominance, while women employ humour to maintain relationships and put each other at ease.【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了女人没有男人听笑话反应得快， 但却比男人更喜欢笑话。1Which of the following is
