单选题 Relative happiness means ______.

A、

A. you have a wealth of material goods
B、

B. you are as happy as others
C、

C. you are happier than others

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] 6-10 Lisa: Frank, are you happy? I mean you have a big house and you have a car. Frank: I don't know, Lisa. A lot of people also have houses and cars. Lisa: You mean you want to have more than other people and this will make you happy? Frank : Possibly. Lisa: Then you're looking for relative happiness. Frank: Ok, Lisa, what do you think is happiness? Lisa: Well, through the centuries, people have offered quite different definitions of happiness such as happy people were married women and single men, or happiness meant serf-gratification, or happiness could be achieved by eating less or eating more. Frank: So happiness is rather elusive? Lisa: I think the happiest people are those who find joy in their daily lives, and who enjoy their friendships, families, work and hobbies. Frank : You mean they are not bothered by the desire to get something more, something new, something better? Lisa: You couldn't be more correct. One more thing, Frank, if you are happy, you may not be satisfied with your life. Frank: What do you mean? Lisa: Happiness often means how happy you feel with your life now. Satisfaction often means that people have to take a step back from their lives and look at them in general. 根据对话开始部分可知Lisa将Frank的那种“只有自己拥有的比别人多时才感到幸福”的行为称之为relative happiness，简言之，relative happiness即：比他人幸福。

单选题 What is true of the past definitions of happiness? A. They were based on self-gratification. B. They varied greatly. C. They were based on lifestyles.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】对话中，Lisa提到在过去，人们提出幸福的各种不同的定义，如happy people were married…self-gratification, or…eating less or eating more，故 B项正确。A、C、D三项只是过去幸福的一种定义，故排除。

单选题 Lisa seems to ______ the past definitions of happiness.

A、

A. misunderstand
B、

B. be uncertain about
C、

C. disagree with

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】Lisa认为幸福是在日常生活中find joy；享受their friendships, families, work and hobbies，与欲望无关；而过去幸福的定义与是否结婚，是否吃饱和自我满足有关。由此可以看出两者理解的幸福截然不同，故C项正确。

单选题 Does Lisa agree with what Frank said about her understanding of the happiest people?

A、

A. Yes.
B、

B. No.
C、

C. Not mentioned.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】从Lisa的回答You couldn't be more correct可知她是同意Frank对于她对于幸福的理解的解释的。

单选题 Unlike happiness, satisfaction ______.

A、

A. is easier to achieve
B、

B. has to do with one's overall life
C、

C. is less complicated

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】根据谈话最后Satisfaction often means…their lives and look at them in general，可知B项正确。
