23、imple pleasures are the key to a happy life? The British were asked to take part in a survey of "well-being index(幸福指数)". The research wanted to find out what it is that makes people happy. Several questions are included in this research. Around 7,000 people have answered the questions tha

24、t are shown online. And the answers are different. Over half the people believe traditional activities such as a walk in the park and the smell of fresh coffee are the key to happiness. Some of the answers to the question "What in life matters most to you?" included having the freedom to d

25、o what one liked. One person answered "the smell of fresh coffee" while another said "family and friends". Others said that good public services such as swimming pools, libraries and green spaces were also important to their well-being. Some believed having good health was also i

35、way," he said, "they really go crazy about that. They start to see New York has a whole other level of creativity that they had no idea about." Street art can be drawings on paper that have been stuck onto the side of a building, images pressed right onto walls, statues fixed onto a s

36、top sign pole, even tiles(瓷砖) arranged to form 1980s video game aliens. which the French street artist, Space Invader, put up dozens of during a recent visit to the city. Did you notice? Thought not. But a well-planned walk with a trained eye through neighborhoods in Brooklyn can change that. First,

37、 that eye training. Where to look? On and around doors, on closed windows, above your head, near the ground, on street signs, traffic signals and newspaper boxes. In other words, everywhere. But not anywhere: side streets and alleys(小巷) work best, but street art also has a strong survival ability in

38、 our upper-class neighborhood, only appearing on a few buildings where the house owners are more open-minded. Also, pay attention to smoke screens: if a wall has been full of unattractive graffiti(涂鸦), don't look away; you'll miss other tiny art that often hides around and near and under. Fi

39、nally, judging street art is not like judging a coin collection: just about nothing is in mint condition (完美的). But that's part of the charm.

42、 the tall buildings. B. Because the expense of living in the buildings is lower. C. Because the people living in the buildings like the street very much.D. Because the people living in the buildings are willing to accept new ideas.66. According to the passage, what's the difference between judgi

43、ng street art and judging a coin collection? A. Street art is worth seeing even though some pieces fade. B. Street art is not as large as a coin that was collected. C. The amount of them is different. D. The way to find them is different.（D）They were going to Fort Lauderdale three boys and three gir

Vingo stopped looking, tightenin

52、g his face, as if protecting himself against still another disappointment.Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five.
