34、0; D. the museum focuses on New Zealands cultureB I used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, that beautiful apartment. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxio

35、us and adrift. Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy. And whats the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment. Meani

36、ng, though, is deeper. The renowned psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. Our culture is obsessed (痴迷于) with happiness, but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path. There

37、 are four pillars (支柱) of a meaningful life. The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where youre valued for who you are intrinsically and where you value others as well. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning. For others, the key to mean

38、ing is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that job that makes you happy. A hospital custodian told me her purpose is healing sick people. Many parents tell me, “My purpose is raising my children.” The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve othe

39、rs. Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder. The third pillar of meaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (超然). Transcendent experiences can change you. Transcendent states are those rare moments when youre lifted above the hustle a

40、nd bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality. For me, Im a writer, and it happens through writing. Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place. The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourse

41、lf. Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity. It helps you understand how you became you. But we dont always realize that were the authors of our stories and can change the way were telling them. Your life isnt just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your st

42、ory, even as youre constrained by the facts. Thats the power of meaning. Happiness comes and goes. But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. 58. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A. Life can be fulfilled by landing id

43、eal jobs. B. Life dilemma is easy for us to get out of.C. Happiness is the core values in our culture.D. Happiness is what most people pursue.59. From the four pillars of a meaningful life, we can know that _.A. nothing is as essential a source of meaning as belongingB. purpose is less about what yo

44、u want than what you giveC. transcendent fades easily and rarely makes us cheerful D. the way of telling stories guarantees a meaningful life60. The passage aims to tell us that _.A. meaning is more important than happinessB. seeking meaning does more good than badC. chasing happiness can make peopl

45、e unhappyD. meaning has deeper psychological significanceCIn 2015 a paper published in a science magazine reported on the personality types of people living in various London districts. Extroverts (外向的人), the researchers who wrote it had discovered, favored Richmond. Those who were most open to expe

46、rience gathered in Hackney. People in Barnet scored lower than average on emotional stability. What this study did not address was whether someones home range reflects their personality traits or imposes them. In other words, is what is going on “nature” or “nurture” (培育) ? However, in a piece of re

47、search just published, Dr. Holtmann of Otago University, in New Zealand, and his colleagues have filled that gapat least, they have filled it for dunnocks. The dunnock is a European bird. It has, though, been introduced to New Zealand and its population has boomed there. It is a well-studied species

48、, and, in particular, some being measurably bolder (更大胆的) and more tolerant of potential threats, such as nearby human beings, than others. The teams research area was the Botanic Garden in Dunedin. This is open to the public, but some areas are more frequented by visitors than others. Dunnocks have

49、 small territories, so it was possible to measure the amount of human disturbance in a given territory with reasonable precision. And, by wrapping each of the dunnocks in the garden with colour-coded bands it was possible to identify individuals by sight. Altogether, the researchers looked at 99 of

50、them. They worked out a birds level of threat tolerance by the simple method of walking towards it, and then measuring how close one could get before the bird flew away. They did this several times for each bird every breeding season, and repeated the process over the course of three seasons. A part

51、icular birds flight distance (ie, how closely it could be approached before it departed) was, they found, consistent within a breeding season. From season to season most birds got a little bolderprobably as they learnt more about the world and what they could safely get away with. But this increase

52、in boldness with age was small compared with the different starting points of bold and shy birds when they first arrived in a territory. It did not, therefore, much affect the fact that, on average, birds flight distances were inversely correlated (负相关) with the level of human disturbance in their t

53、erritories. This was a consequence of disturbed territories being settled by bold birds, and undisturbed territories by shy ones. In the case of dunnocks, then, nature wins over nurture. Dr. Holtmann was able to show that personalities match circumstances, rather than being created by them. Dunnocks

54、 can recognize which places suit them best, and choose to settle in them shortly after they are fully fledged (羽翼丰满). Most likely, that is happening in London districts, too. 61. What does the underlined words “that gap” in the second paragraph refer to? A. What the paper published in 2015 failed to

55、 handle.B. Why extroverts favour certain areas in London district.C. How Dr. Holtmann involved dunnocks in his study.D. What the former and latter study have in common.62. From Paragraph 3, we can know that dunnocks _. A. are native to New Zealand B. have distinct personalitiesC. are bolder than hum

56、an beingsD. can be easily identified by its color63. What conclusion did Dr. Holtmann draw from his study? A. Its nurture rather than nature that matters in the case of dunnocks behaviour. B. Birds flight distances were in proportion to human disturbance in their territories.C. Dunnocks choose their
