Laster,the students again had to rank all the music.People who didn’t wash their hands had the normal response…they scored their take-home CD
higher, suggesting that they now it as even more attractive that before.But this wasn’t true for the hand washers.They ranked the music about the same.“They feel no need at all to justify the choice.” says Lee.

If you feel yourself turning into an old prouch (脾气坏的人), don't worry-happiness is around bend. A survery has found that although happing dips in those in their 30s and 40s, people start to feel more content with after the age of 50.
However an econmist found that older people will, never again regain the excitement of youth.Rather it is though that with age, individuals become more pragmaticabout the ups ang downs that life bring and accept their fortune.
He questioned those in Rritain, Switzerland and Germanry and applied the findings to people's life cycle.
Mr.Van Landeghem,29,said：“A happiness curve does not necessarily imply that a 65-year-old prefers his own life to the life of a 25-year-old.
“Both the 25-year-old and 65-year-old might agree that it is nicer to be 25 than to be 65.But the 65-year-old might neverthcless be more satisfied,as he has learnd to satisfied with what he has.”
It was suggested the mid-life happiness dip is because this is when people have she most responsibilities — taking care of a family, paying a mortgage C抵押贷款）and having a demanding career The middle-aged dip in happiness was also compared to that of lessing a close relative or suddenly becoming unemployed.
The study is just one of many put forward as an indicator of what makes for a happy life. Psychologists concluded that having money makes you happier, but only if you have a lot more than your friends and neighbors. Al the same time, you’d better have enough time to enjoy yourself instead of spending all your time on naking money.
Separate research found that owning the house of your dreams, the car you always longed for and having millions in the bank doesn't stop that desire to keep up with the Joneses.(攀比） And if the Joneses have more than you do, you'll be miserable. It seems envy at being lower in the social pecking order (权势等级)reduces the satisfaction of being well off.
If you just do what you love and you are good at, which society also values much, you may have a higher probability to be happy. But if your job pays less, how can you stick to it in disregard of responsibilities? Happiness means different things from different points of views and point of view grows from one's experience and knowledge. Perhaps it comes with you when you don'l need to think about adult problems or when you are wise enough to understand what satisfaction is.

On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise (MLE),I didn't get a lot of fan mail, so my attention was caught by a letter on my desk one morning.
When I opened it, I read: “Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the good work.” It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch), his words could not have been more inspiring, I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got old. Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to a writer,I would reread Don's note and walk on air again.
Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging note to people in all walks of life，“When I make others feel good about themselves, ” he told me, “I feel good, too.”
Over the years, I've Tried to copy Don and write uplifting words. In a world too often cold and unresponsive, such notes bring warmth.
Why are positive note writer in such short supply? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They are afraid they will he misunderstood. Thus it may cause troubles
