24、 he is about to open his special letter?A.Relieved.B.Moved.C.Excited.D.Afraid.CWhat does it mean to live a good life?This question has been debated for centuries.In thefield of psychology,two main concepts of the good life have been quite popular:A happy life fullof pleasure and positive emotions,an
25、d a meaningful life full of purpose and sacrifice.But what ifthese arent the only options?In recent years,a long-neglected version of the good life has been receiving greater attention:the psychologically rich life.It is full of complex mental engagement,a wide range of intense anddeep emotions,and
26、diverse,novel,surprising and interesting experiences.Sometimes they areneither pleasant nor meaningful.However,they are rarely boring or monotonous.After all,both happy and meaningful lives can become monotonous and repetitive.A personwith a steady office job,married with children,may be satisfied a
27、nd find his or her life meaningfuland still be bored.Also,the psychologically rich life doesnt necessarily involve economicrichness.For instance,consider Hesses character Goldmund,who has no money but pursues thelife of a free spirit.Research has found psychological richness is related to,but partia
28、lly distinct from,bothhappy and meaningful lives.Psychological richness is related with openness to experience andexperiencing both positive and negative emotions more intensely.But is the psychologically richlife one that people actually want?In a new study,Oishi and his colleagues asked people in
29、nine countries the degree to which学科网（北京）股份有限公司学科网（北京）股份有限公司5they value a psychologically rich life,a happy life and a meaningful life.They found manypeoples self-described ideal lives involve psychological richness.When forced to choose a life,however,the majority chose a happy life and a meaningfu
30、l life.Even so,a minority of people stillfavored the psychologically rich life,ranging from 6.7%in Singapore to 16.8%in Germany.These numbers went up when the desire for a psychologically rich life was measuredindirectly.To understand what a person wishes their lives might have been,it is important
31、toexplore what people wish they had avoided in their lives.When asked what they regret most andwhether undoing this event would have made their lives happier,more meaningful orpsychologically richer,about 28%of Americans said undoing the regrettable event would havemade their lives psychologically r
32、icher.These findings suggest that while most people strive to be happy and have meaning in theirlives,a sizable number of people are content merely living a psychologically rich existence.As Oishi and his colleagues conclude,“We believe that taking the psychologically rich lifeseriously will deepen
33、and enrich our understanding of well-being.”At the end of the day,there isno one singularly acceptable path to the good life.You have to find a path that works best for you.18.According to the passage,the psychologically rich life _.A.involves various intense emotionsB.means living a luxurious lifeC
34、.combines pleasure with purposeD.emphasizes openness and repetition19.What does Oishis research indicate?A.The Germans prefer psychological richness to a happy life.B.Undoing regrettable events has enriched many peoples lives.C.Ahidden desire for psychological richness exists among some people.D.Peo

37、the products of evolution,and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago.As scientists look deeper into our genes（基因）,they are finding examples of human evolution injust the past few thousand years.People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high学科网（北京）股份有限公司学科网（北京）股份有限公司6alt
38、itudes.Cattle-raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation（突变）that helps them digest milk as adults.On Thursday in an article published in Cell,a team of researchers reported a new kind ofadaptation not to air or to food,but to the ocean.A group of sea-dwelling people in
39、SoutheastAsia have evolved into better divers.The Bajau,as these people are known,number in thehundreds of thousands in Indonesia,Malaysia and the Philippines.They have traditionally livedon houseboats;in recent times,theyve also built houses on stilts（支柱）in coastal waters.“Theyare simply a stranger
40、 to the land,”said Rodney C.Jubilado,a University of Hawaii researcher whostudies the Bajau.Dr.Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines.Theymade a living as divers,spearfishing or harvesting shellfish.“We were so amazed that they couldstay underwater much long
41、er than us local islanders,”Dr.Jubilado said,“I could see them actuallywalking under the sea.”In 2015,Melissa Ilardo,then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen,heard about the Bajau.She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution ofphysical characteristic
42、s that made the task easier for them.“It seemed like the perfect chance fornatural selection to act on a population,”said Dr.Ilardo.She also said there were likely a numberof other genes that help the Bajau dive.22.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1?A.Environmental a
