Sixty－six percent of 15－to 25－year－olds in China say they are happy，according to a survey of global youth happiness __1__(conduct) in 14 countries.
The survey shows young people worldwide are__2__(happy) when they are on vacation，being challenged，or achieving something.The youth in the US, for example, said__3__were happiest between 8 and 10 pm on Saturdays in July，__4__enjoying good music or spending time with friends and family.
According to study author Joeri Van den Bergh, young people don't just want to impress their friends.Today's youth want to accomplish something in life，__5__this means big accomplishments like doing well in an important exam or finding a good job, or small things like making__6__delicious dinner.
The survey also shows higher happiness in developing countries—Brazil, India and China all ranked__7__(high)．Young people in these countries might realize they are better off than their parents in the improving economic environment.
However,
Christine Carter,
sociologist and happiness expert at the University of California, Berkeley, __8__(note) that many young people still do not feel happy because they are__9__so much pressure to achieve.
Carter said research shows people of all ages and cultures link happiness__10__a sense of gratitude, generosity，compassion and social ties.
【語篇解讀】 調(diào)查顯示：年輕人的幸福感大都來源于休閑、挑戰(zhàn)和成功。
1．conducted 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。conduct意為“進(jìn)行；實(shí)施”。conduct與survey之間是邏輯上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，因此用過去分詞作后置定語。
2．happiest 考查形容詞的級(jí)。從空后列舉的內(nèi)容可知，此處表示年輕人在度假，被挑戰(zhàn)以及達(dá)成某事時(shí)最幸福。根據(jù)第3空后的happiest也可知答案。
3．they 考查代詞。they指代The youth“年輕人”。The youth為集體名詞，表示復(fù)數(shù)概念。
4．when 考查狀語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處為時(shí)間狀語從句，故用when。
5．whether 考查連詞。此處表示當(dāng)今的年輕人想要在生命中達(dá)到一些成就，無論是一些大成就，如在一次重要的考試中取得好成績或找到一份好工作，還是一些小成就，如做一頓美味的晚餐。根據(jù)句意可知，此處應(yīng)用whether引導(dǎo)狀語從句。
6．a(chǎn) 考查冠詞。a delicious dinner在這里泛指“一頓美味的晚餐”，所以用不定冠詞。
7．highly 考查副詞。空前的ranked為動(dòng)詞，修飾動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用副詞，故用highly。
8．noted 考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Carter said”可知，這兩段都是關(guān)于Carter曾經(jīng)所說的話，所以用一般過去時(shí)。
9．under 考查介詞。under pressure為固定搭配，意思為“承受著壓力”，符合語境。
10．to/with 考查介詞。link...to/with...為固定搭配，意思為“把……與……聯(lián)系起來”，符合語境。

Years ago a professor gave a group of graduate students this assignment：Go to the slums(貧民窟)．Take 200 boys between the ages of 12 and 16 investigate their __1__ and environment and then __2__ their chances for the future.The students，after __3__ social statistics，talking to the boys and compiling(匯編)much data __4__ that 90 percent of the boys would spend some time in __5__．
Twenty－five years later another group of graduate students were given the job of __6__ the previous prediction.They went back to the __7__ area.Some of the boys—now __8__—were still there，a few had died and some has moved away.But they managed to __9__ 180 of the original 200.They found that only four of the boys had ever been sent to prison.
Why was it that these men，who had lived in a breeding place of __10__，had such surprisingly __11__ record？The researchers were __12__ told.“Well，there was a __13__．”
They pressed __14__ and found that in 78 percent of the __15__ it was the same woman.The researchers went to the teacher，now living in a home for __16__ teachers.How had she had this remarkable __17__ on that group of children？Could she give them any reason why these boys __18__ her？“No，”she said，“I really couldn't.”And then，__19__ over the years，she said musingly(沉思地)，more to herself than to her questioners，“I __20__ these boys.”The researchers finally realized that it was the teacher's care that made a difference.

Every person has its own way of saying things，and it's their own special expressions.Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.
Red is a hot color.Americans often use it to express heat.They may say they are red hot about something unfair.When they are red hot they are very angry about something.The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste.Fast loud music is popular with many people.They may say the music is red hot，especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red.People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health.The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century.It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.
Blue is a cool color.The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music.Blues is slow，sad and soulful.Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song－Mood Indigo－about the deep blue color，indigo.In the words of the song：“You aren't been blue till you've had that Mood Indigo.”Someone who is blue is very sad.
The color green is natural for trees and grass.But it is an unnatural color for humans.A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green.A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friends has，like a fast new car.That person may say he is green with envy.Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks.Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.
The color black is used often in expressions.People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day.The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day.A blacklist is illegal now.But at one time，some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
