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

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

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

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
