Research into happiness is always open to question . Do people , when asked , tell the truth about whether or not they are happy? Isn’t it peculiar to tell a complete stranger that you are miserable? Possibly . Nevertheless, people who fill in questionnaires without giving their names show the same sort of results as those in open interview. It might also be suggested that people do not know whether they are happy or not. But , if you believe that most people are aware of their own emotional state and express it honestly when asked , the research makes some fascinating discoveries. It is interesting to note what does not necessarily make you happy. Class, wealth , social position , intelligence , and race are all poor indicators (although poverty is a good indicator of unhappiness). Women are slightly happier than men , and older people rather satisfied _though less joyful_ than younger people . But most people are _or claim to be_ happy. This is , surprisingly , the same for everyone . “Whatever situation people are in, whether they are prisoners or lottery winners, roughly the same levels of happiness can be found”.
Marriage is a greater source of happiness than being single. 35 % of married men and 25.5% of married women claim to be very happy, whereas the figures for single men and women are 18.5% and 25.5%. However, having children is not the source of happiness many believe it to be . Survey after survey shows that happiness levels begin to fall after the birth of a child, reaching their lowest point in the teenage years and only return to previous levels when the children leave home . This is rather strange , since people keep on having kids despite the clear evidence that having children makes you less happy . One possible explanation is that there are things that people consider more valuable than happiness ,like a feeling of being worthwhile. Or maybe bad marriages stick together because of children.

Tuy nhiên, trẻ em có không phải là nguồn gốc của nhiều người tin rằng nó sẽ hạnh phúc. Khảo sát sau khi khảo sát cho thấy rằng mức độ hạnh phúc bắt đầu rơi sau khi sự ra đời của một đứa trẻ, đạt điểm thấp nhất của họ trong những năm thiếu niên và chỉ trở về cấp độ trước khi trẻ em rời khỏi nhà. Điều này là khá lạ, kể từ khi người dân tiếp tục có trẻ em mặc dù các bằng chứng rõ ràng rằng có trẻ em làm cho bạn hạnh phúc ít. Một lời giải thích có thể là rằng có những thứ mà người xem xét giá trị hơn hạnh phúc như một cảm giác được đáng giá. Hoặc có lẽ cuộc hôn nhân xấu dính lại với nhau vì trẻ em.46 từ ' đặc biệt "là gần nhất trong ý nghĩa để...Một lẻ B điên C bất thường D bất thường47 chữ 'nó' đề cập đến...A nghiên cứu thành hạnh phúcB một cuộc phỏng vấn mởC một chỉ báo của hạnh phúcD nhân nhận thức của hạnh phúc riêng của họ48 từ "chỉ số" là gần nhất trong ý nghĩa để...Dấu hiệu một kết luận giải thích B C D nhãn hiệu49 từ "khoảng" là gần nhất trong ý nghĩa để...Gần a B C chủ yếu là chính xác D khoảng50 tại sao có thể nghiên cứu thành hạnh phúc là không đáng tin cậy?Một nó không thể xác định những người trả lời các câu hỏiB những điền vào bảng câu hỏi có thể sao chép của người khác câu trả lờiC People don’t tell the truth when talking to strangersD People may not be sure of their own emotions51 In general the writer thinks the results of the research are……A incorrect B unexpected C unbelievable D unfair52 What did the researchers discover about levels of happiness?A A sudden change in circumstances can make people less happyB Childhood is the happiest time of lifeC There is little variation from one person to anotherD Successful people are more likely to be happy53 According to the passage , which people would be happiest ?A Single peopleB The parents of teenagersC Married couples with a new babyD Married couples without children.54 Which of the following is not true about having kids according to the passage ?A When children leave home and become independent, parents feel sadB Having children does not bring people happinessC When their children in their teens , parents don’t feel happyD People still want to have kids though they know they will feel less happy55 It is difficult to explain why people………..A remain married in spite of unhappinessB consider marriage worthwhileC continue to have childrenD value happiness more than anything else
