Happiness consists in contentment. A: 知足常乐。2. Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. — Franklin Roosevelt , American president A: 幸福不在于拥有金钱,而在于获得成就时的喜悦以及产生创造力的激情。——美国总统F. 罗斯福3. There is an evil tendency underlying all our technology —the tendency to do what is reasonable even when it isn't any good. — Robert Pirsig, American philosopher A: 我们的科技潜藏着一个不幸的倾向,那就是去做合理的事,即使它并无任何好处。——美国哲学家R. 普西格2.Text Organization Part one:(Para1-2) Material and technological advances do not really bring happiness to people in the developed countries. Though Americans now are wealthier than they were in the middle of the last century, they are not happier than they used to be. Part Two: (Para3-5) Technology and happiness are not necessarily closely correlated because people adapt to technological progress too quickly. Part Three: (Para6-9) The current comments on technology have mostly centered on the bad effects of technology on human relationships rather than particular, harmful technologies Part Four:(Para10) The most important impact of technology on people’s sense of well-being is in the field of health care. Part Five: (Para11) People in general claim that on a deeper level, technology cannot bring happiness to them, which is just contradictory to the fact that it has greatly improved people’s health and life expectancy.
