I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the days events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to expres
30、s my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isnt accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a di
31、ary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.
32、 The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my penAt that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic
33、beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that a
34、re particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very oftenonly of objects I find really beautiful. Im no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live
35、it in the future.I dont want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I wont have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe Ill forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I dont live to make memoriesI just live,
36、 and the memories form themselves.56. What caused a change in the authors understanding of keeping a diary?A. A dull night on the journey. B. The beauty of the great valley.C. A striking quotation from a book. D. Her concerns for future generations.57. What does the author put in her diary now?A. No
37、tes and beautiful pictures. B. Special thoughts and feelings.C. Detailed accounts of daily activities. D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.58. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is _.A. to experience it B. to live the present in the futureC. to make memories D. to give ac
38、curate representations of itBWhile residents of wealthy nations tend to have greater life satisfaction, new research shows that those living in poorer nations report having greater meaning in life.These findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological scie
39、nce, suggest that meaning in life may be higher in poorer nations as a result of greater religiosity (笃信宗教). As countries become richer, religion becomes less central to peoples lives and they lose a sense of meaning in life.“Thus far, the wealth of nations has been almost always associated with lon
40、gevity, health, happiness or life satisfaction,” explains psychological scientist Shigehiro Oishi of the University of Virginia. “Given that meaning in life is an important aspect of overall well-being, we wanted to look more carefully at differential patterns, correlates (相关物), and predictors for m
41、eaning in life.”Oishi and colleague Ed Diener of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign investigated life satisfaction, meaning, and well-being by examining data from the 2007 Gallup World Poll, a large-scale survey of over 140,000 participants from 132 countries. In addition to answering a
42、basic life satisfaction question, participants were asked: “Do you feel your life has an important purpose or meaning?” and “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”The data revealed some unexpected trends:“Among Americans, those who are high in life satisfaction are also high in meaning i
43、n life,” says Oishi. “But when we looked at the societal level of analysis, we found a completely different pattern of the association between meaning in life and life satisfaction.”When looking across many countries, Oishi and Diener found that people in wealthier nations were more educated, had fe
44、wer children, and expressed more individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries all factors that were associated with higher life satisfaction but a significantly lower sense of meaning in life.”The data suggest that religiosity may play an important role: Residents of wealthier nat
45、ions, where religiosity is lower, reported less meaning in life and had higher suicide rates than poorer countries.According to the researchers, religion may provide meaning to life to the extent that it helps people to overcome personal difficulty and cope with the struggles of working to survive i
46、n poor economic conditions:“Religion gives a system that connects daily experiences with the coherent whole (连贯的整体) and a general structure to ones life and plays a critical role in constructing meaning out of extreme hardship,” the researchers write.Oishi and Diener hope to reproduce these findings using more comprehensive measures of meaning and religiosity, and are interested in following cou
