The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, painfree life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment(承担的义务), self - improvement.
Ask a bachelor(单身汉)why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less sat isfying, ff he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to in crease our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. [br] From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ______.
选项
A、hatred
B、misunderstanding
C、prejudice
D、ignorance
答案
B
解析
依据文章最后一段第四行And it liberates us from envy:we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.(这也把我们从嫉妒中解放出来:那些总是有这么多乐趣的人可能实际上根本不幸福。)我们现在这样理解就可避免妒忌,那么反过来说,妒忌是产生于我们的理解不当,即misunderstanding,故B正确。
