问题     The pursuit of lasting happiness has long been a subject of interest for scientists and surveys alike. But what makes us really happy and what lasting benefits does happiness have?
    Earlier this month, scientists from the University of Illinois found the people who are happy and positive about life live longer. The researchers found clear and compelling(令人信服的)evidence that happiness is key when it comes to better health and longer lifespan. Last month a British study, which tracked members of 40 000 households across the country, concluded that eating a family meal at least three times a week is the key to happiness because it helps build a strong bond between parents and their children.
    But happiness might be decided when you were born. Names can apparently predict how happy we are as individuals, with researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University claiming that people called Judy and Joshua enjoy life the most. Ben, Andrew and Edward are seen as miserable names on the other hand.
    Married couples are most likely to be happy with their relationships, according to the study. Research has also suggested that happiness begins at 50. A study from Stony Brook University, New York, found that stress, anger and worry fade after your 50th. Women were also reported to suffer greater stress, worry and sadness at all ages.
    Money makes the world go round, but it is not the key to happiness, according to other studies. In 2008, a survey found that British families were healthier and twice as well-off as they were 20 years ago, but were not happier. However, other studies have found money can buy you happiness after all, but only if you spend it wisely. Indeed, that might be why a good holiday can boost your happiness levels "for up to two months" after—although the break has to be "very relaxing" to have such an effect. [br] What do researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University claim?
选项 A、The date one was born can decide his happiness.
B、Names can apparently predict how happy one is.
C、Family can apparently predict how happy one is.
D、A strong bond between parents and their children is important.
答案 B
解析 由题干中的Manchester Metropolitan University定位到第三段第二句。该句指出，曼彻斯特城市大学的研究人员宣称，可以通过名字预测一个人的生活是否幸福，由此可知B)为答案。
