And while that might seem obvious, there hasnt been much research to prove the point until now.Some new studies by Rutgers University scientists support the idea strongly, and the experts go on to assume that flowers have flourished on this p

11、lanet, with their beauty evolving in recent thousands of years, partly because humans are so attached to them.In a test, bunches of flowers were sent by florists to 113 men and women in a retirement community. All 113 got flowers and a notebook, but some got them earlier and received a second bunch

12、when the others got theirs. By now you can guess the outcome. The more flowers, the more smiles.The results of the studies got the scientists to thinking about how the flower industry of today has evolved into growing things that serve no other purpose than emotional (情感上的) satisfaction. Nature wont

13、 even pollinate (授粉) many of the domesticated flowers. Just among roses, there are so many types created by humans that, clearly, flowers arent what they used to be. But its likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.Geneticist (遗传学家) Terry McGuire suggests that natures

14、 prettier flowers got to survive and develop well because people didnt destroy them when they cleared for agriculture. Instead, they grew them and have been doing so for over 5,000 years. “Because theyre a source of pleasure, we take care of them. In that sense theyre like dogs. They are the pets of

15、 the plant world.” McGuire says.Here is one way that might have worked:Many species of flowers that are now planted used to grow only when the ground was disturbed, McGuire explains. “As humans moved into agricultural settings, these flowers would have been weeds.” “These flowers might have been tol

16、erated because of their beauty. The seeds would have been preserved and replanted.

But it seemed as though the things we had in common were more important than the annoyances.The girls in the “popular”

30、crowd had also been exposed to her sharp tongue. One day, one of the girls approached me while I gathered my books. “We really like you,” she said. “The only way you can play with us, though, is if you keep your distance from Barbara.”Were those girls only trying to make trouble between the two of u

31、s? Would they watch me dump (抛弃) Barbara and then dump me for laughs?From the comer of my eye I found two of the other girls from the group. They were watching me and giggling (咯咯地笑).

36、 picnic table alone. Recess (休息) was in full swing. She remained awkward around her classmates. She seemed unsure of what to do or say, yet I could see her eyes longing for acceptance. Many students had already decided that her friendship would not be worth the energy required to overcome the awkwar

37、dness. Others teased her. Most ignored herexcept for one.Brianna, the class clown, was making the other students laugh, as usual. “Brianna, do you see Molly down there? Would you mind walking down there and inviting her to come up here with the rest of us?”Brianna sighed. I could tell she didnt want

38、 to sacrifice precious minutes of her own recess to do what I was asking of her, but I also knew her heart. She often thought of others before herself - a rare character for anyone, much less a kid.Knowing this choice was hard for her, I pulled out a D-buck, our class currency. Though bribery (行贿) w

39、as not the ideal way to handle this situation, I needed her cooperation.“Here, Ill pay you for your time.”She offered an insincere smile, grasped the green paper, and headed down the hill.As the rest of the children screamed and laughed, my eyes locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table.

44、K citizens, the ball is in the governments court. For some time, sensible people have been arguing that governments need to focus less on economic growth and more on the wellbeing（幸福）of citizens. Be careful what you wish for.In response to this demand, from 2011 David Cameron instructed the Office f

45、or National Statistics to gather data on peoples self-reported happiness and life satisfaction. Little practical good has come from this so far, but a new report by George Bangham for the Resolution Foundation is one of the best attempts to make useful sense of the data. He concludes: “The best pros

46、pects for policymakers targeting future increases in national wellbeing lie in raising job quality, raising incomes, particularly at the lower end, and policies to improve security in the housing market.”The age correlation（相关）turns out to be certainly linked to politics, despite the fact that no po

47、litical party can make a difference to your date of birth. The happiness of pensioners is not just a function of their age, but of policy. On average, 70-year-old boomers today are the most affluent retirees in history, often owning their own homes and in receipt of generous pensions. People of 70 a

48、re not going to be as content in 30 or 40 years time if they are unable to retire, dont own their homes and have small incomes.However, there is one respect in which teens and recent retirees are remarkably similar. Compared to other age groups, they tend to inhabit a sweet spot of having high degre

49、es of freedom. The typical 16-year-old has new freedoms without ever having had any serious responsibilities. The typical 70-year-old, having experienced a lifetime of work and family duties, has a very different kind of freedom, one born from relief.Besides，it should not surprise us to find that pe

50、ople tend to be happier when they have fewer worries. But this, too, has important political implications. If the government is really interested in raising overall national happiness, it has to make sure as many citizens as possible feel secure in their health, their housing and their incomes. Diff

51、erent states records in achieving this is one important reason why Nordic countries repeatedly score highly in international life satisfaction surveys and North America underperforms relative to its GDP.Whichever way you look at it, there is no escaping the conclusion that increasing wellbeing acros

52、s society requires joined-up, long-term policy efforts. This is exactly what the Resolution Foundation recommends.1、What can be conveyed from the sentence “the ball is in the governments court” in Paragraph 1?AThe government officials are fond of playing ball games.BThe government determines nationa

53、l happiness.CThe government makes citizens feel happy.DThe government is in a ball game.2、What does the underlined word “affluent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AResponsible.BCareful.CHonest.DRich.3、According to the author, the secret to happiness is freedom and _.AincomeBhealthCsecurityDdestiny4、Wha
