So you’re between the ages of 13 and 24. What makes you happy? Spending time with family was the top answer to that open-ended question,according to a survey—more than 100 questions asked of 1 ,280 people aged 13-24 carried out by the Associated Press on the nature of happiness among America^ young people.
Next was spending time with friends. And good news for parents： nearly three quarters of young people say their relationship with their parents makes them happy.
“They’re my foundation ,” says Kristina St. John,17, a high-school student from Queens in New York. “My mum tells me that even if I do something stupid,she's still going to love me. Just knowing that makes me feel very happy. ”
Other results are more disconcerting. While most young people are happy with the way their lives are going,there are racial differences： the survey shows whites to be happier than blacks. A lot of young people feel stressed,particularly those from the middle class,and females more than males.
You might think money would be clearly tied to a general sense of happiness. But almost no one said “money” when asked what makes them happy,though people with the highest family incomes are generally happier with life. However,having highly educated parents is a stronger predictor (預示物) of happiness than income.
Young people think marriage would make them happy and want to be married some day. Most also want to have kids.
Finally,when asked to name their heroes,nearly half of-them mentioned one or both of their parents. The winner,by a nose (以些微之差) ：Mum.

It's easy to spot signs of physical suffering,but much emotional pain can be easily masked. 36 “We don't tend to have conversations about mental well-being,” says Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen,a clinic psychologist. Simply asking someone “How are you” may just get “Fine,thank you”，says Van Dahlen. “It's important to be aware of what could lead to somebody needing help they’ re afraid to ask for ,” she adds. The following are four signs a friend might need help.
37
If you sense something different about the way your friend is acting — maybe he's not smiling much these days,for instance — trust your feelings and reach out. “Try saying ,‘I see these things. I care about you. Can I be of help?’ ” Van Dahlen says.
He's unusually unhappy or annoyed.
38 “It may take more than one time to follow up if you’ re talking to someone who is upset ,” Van Dahlen says,but if a friend responds with anger,that could mean you,re onto something.
He's less put together than usual.
Drinking more and ignoring personal hygiene (衛生) can be signs that someone is in trouble. Don’t consider these behaviors are nothing. 39
He seems overwhelmed(壓倒) by life.
No one is happy all the time,but if your once optimistic friend can't find anything to be hopeful about,he may be having thoughts of worthlessness,sadness and something negative. “40 ” says Van Dahlen, “so that more people can get the help they need."
A. He's acting a bit more withdrawn.
B. He doesn’ t seem like himself lately.

Jason Detzel was bored with his work as a psychologist,and he was tired of spending all day in an office. Dr. Detzel felt that in the city he was losing touch with something important,so he quit his job and started a farm.
He and his business partner found 80 acres of land in a small town and signed a 10-year lease (租約) . While some farms used a lot of machinery,they decided they wanted to do as much as possible with their own hands. They built a corral(畜欄) for the cows,pig shelters and a house for the chickens.
“I’m definitely happier being out in the fields with my animals. Even if there are bad days,I'm still happy,” Dr. Detzel said. “When you’ re inside all day,you don't get to see nature working."
“The job is different every day on the farm. It's amazing,” he said. “You.’ re a farmer. You’ re an animal doctor. You’ re a pipe fitter. You’ re definitely a carpenter a lot. You're a jack of all trades(萬事通） master of none. That's what I like about it."
Learning how to manage the animals had been one of the biggest challenges of starting the farm,Dr. Detzel said. He learned that it was important to stick to a routine. That's why he rang the same bell and called to the cows in the same way each day. The routine helped keep the cows calm and cooperative.
It wasn't easy for Dr. Detzel to be accepted by the other farmers in his community. With all his tattoos(文身) ，he looked very different. When he started the farm he was in his early 30s,while most other farmers were older. There weren't many young people starting farms,because it had become harder and harder for small family farms to make much income.
Dr. Detzel said that began to change when more people became locavores. A locavore is someone who tries to eat food grown and raised nearby. By shopping at their local farmers’ market,many locavores hope to reduce the amount of energy used to ship food long distances. Many locavores like knowing where their food comes from and being able to talk to the farmers about what chemicals were used and how the animals were treated.
21. What was the main purpose of Dr. Detzel starting a farm?
A. To get back to nature.
B. To make more money.
C. To study agricultural machinery.
D. To keep in touch with his friends.
22. What did Dr. Detzel like about his job on the farm?
A. He often traded at a profit.
B. He was good at many things.
C. He could do many types of work.
D. He could get to know many farmers.
23. To manage the animals,Dr. Detzel.
A. followed a routine
B. used different bells
C. learned from other farmers
D. called professionals for help
24. A locavore prefers.
A. self-produced food
B. healthy organic food
C. food from distant places
D. food grown by local farmers
