10、question, “Are you happy?”The question has caught many interviewees off guard. Even Mo Yan, who just won a Nobel Prize, responded by saying, “I dont know”.While the question has become a buzz phrase and the Internet plays host to heated discussions, we ask: What exactly is happiness? And how do you
11、measure it?In the 1776 US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson set in writing the peoples unalienable right to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. 235 years on, Wen Jiabao told the nation, “Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At National Peoples Congres
12、s, officials agreed that increasing happiness would be a top target for the 12th five-year plan.US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, describes happiness as “ a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions
13、”, according to US broadcasting network PBS. This may sound straightforward enough, but it still doesnt explain what determines peoples happiness.Many argue that happiness is elusive and that there is no single source. It also means different things to different people. For some, happiness can be as
14、 simple as having enough cash.Researchers believe happiness can be separated into two types: daily experiences of hedonic (享乐的) well-being; and evaluative well-being, the way people think about their lives as a whole. The former refers to the quality of living, whereas the latter is about overall ha
15、ppiness, including life goals and achievements. Happiness can cross both dimensions.Li Jun, a psychologist and mental therapy practitioner at a Beijing clinic, says, “Happiness can mean both the most basic human satisfaction or the highest level of spiritual pursuit. Its a simple yet profound topic.
16、”Chen Shangyuan, 21, a junior English major at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said his idea of happiness always evolves. “At present it relates to how productive I am in a day,” he said. “It might be linked to job security or leisure time after I graduate.”Then there is the ques
17、tion of measuring happiness. Does it depend on how many friends we have, or whether we own the latest smart phone? Is it even quantifiable?Economists are trying to measure happiness in peoples lives. Since 1972, Bhutans GDP measurement has been replaced by a Gross National Happiness index. It is cal
18、culated according to the peoples sense of being well-governed, their relationship with the environment, their satisfaction with economic development, and their sense of national belonging.In 2009, US economist Joseph Stiglitz proposed “to shift emphasis from measuring economic production to measurin

Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I h
24、eard my friend Jeremy saying, “What do you want? Take my wallet,” but at the time I thought of nothing. I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house - Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the
25、 gunmens voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremys head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the
26、 split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didnt crouch(蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead. I remember thinking there was something ridicu
27、lous and illogical about screaming “Help, help!” at eight oclock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to the more specific “Help, let me in, please let me in!” But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremys screams behind me announcing that our
28、attackers had fled. The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely
29、, “Please go and eat. Were OK.” I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel t
30、hat stiffer sentences wouldnt change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me?
31、 People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in force twenty minutes later. They were ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the gunmen. “Typ
32、ical,” said one policeman when we couldnt even agree on how tall the men were. Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two policemen who stayed to make the report didnt think that would be much help. The policemen were matter-of-fact about the whole thing. The thin one said, “That was a stupid thing
