28、d D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.There is a Web site called the “World Database of Happiness.

29、a few are surprising.The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general happiness. It is a clich(陈词滥调) to say that money cant buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be _51_ by research. Many people still stick to the belief that gaining riches w

31、 they _55_ before they became rich. Previously contented(满意的) people continue to be contented, _56_ those who were miserable before sink back into misery.

34、or surfing the Internet _63_ spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy?
