19、 start than do childless new marriage, it is wise for the couple to do some careful planning prior to marriage. Not only do the prospective (预期的) marital partners need agreement about their own carriers, life goals, finance and special interests, they must also prepare for new relationship with thei

20、r children and attempt to accommodate their individual needs and feelings. Furthermore， there are often the rights of other relatives to consider.As for any family, the basic ingredients (成分) of a successful stepfamily are affection, kindness and mutual respect. However, love alone is not enough. Ce

21、rtainly love is the cornerstone upon which the foundation of any family is built, but there are also many other important ingredients involved in building a successful stepfamily.Surveys reveal that successful families regard the ability to communicate openly as the most important factor in their su

22、ccess. Communication is what keeps families on track and functioning as a unit. Although healthy communication is easier for some people than for others， this skill can be learned and improved.

28、week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasnt that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers a

29、re puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for f

30、amily and friends may explain the drop in well-being, researchers assumed. Faceless, bodiless “virtual” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed though it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via

31、the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“But its important to remember this is not about the technology itself; its about how it is used.” says psychologist Christine Riley or Intel, one of the studys sponsors （发起人）. “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms o

32、f how you design applications and services for technology.”21. It can be learned from the passage that _.

39、is actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness.

Children whose pare

43、nts were happily married have happier childhoods, but are not necessarily happier adults.The best formula (准则) for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble), to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-con

44、fidence and self-esteem.26.
