阅读理解A lot of people in the world today are used to working, going on holiday, and having money - but many of them arent happy. Yet other people seem to be really happy, even if they are poor, or have no job, or are surrounded by problems. Why? Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, from the University of Chicago, has interviewed thousands of people who have a happy life to find out how they do it. Ive been studying happiness for over 30 years,says Csikszentmihalyi. My interest in the subject came from my own experience as a child during World War II, when I saw many adults destroyed by the terrible events. But there were always a few who kept their courage, helped others, and were able to give a sense of purpose and meaning to their lives. I wanted to find out how a person could build a fulfilling and enjoyable life. In general, his research showed that people were unhappy doing nothing. The professor stresses that happy people dont waste time, either at work or when theyre free. Many people feel that the time they spend at work or at school is wasted. But often their free time is also wasted.Many people are used to doing passive things - watching television, for example - without using any skills. As a result, life goes past in a series of boring experiences. But it doesnt have to be this way. The professor has found that people are happy when they get into something he calls flow. When people get very involved in a task that they have chosen, and which is well -defined and challenging, they experience flow, a state where they dont notice time passing. They also experience enjoyment. Professor Csikszentmihalyi makes a contrast between enjoyment and pleasure. I used to think they were the same thing - but theyre not! Pleasure is a bit bowl of ice cream, or taking a hot bath on a cold day - nothing bad at all! But enjoyment is about doing something and achieving something. It isnt really important what we do, its more important to do something, and feel positive about it, and to try to do it well. People who are not used to happiness can learn how to be happy, says the professor, if they constantly get intoflowstates. Is happiness as easy as that? Perhaps it is. Decide the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
