A worried, weary parent might imagine the answer to sound something like this: Sex, drugs, a little
rock "n" roll (摇滚乐). Maybe some cash, or at least the car keys.
It turns out the real answer is quite different. Spending time with family is the top answer to that
open-ended question, according to an extensive survey-more than 100 questions asked of 1,280
people ages 13-24 - conducted by The Associated Press and MTV on the nature of happiness
among America"s young people.
Next is spending time with friends, followed by time with a significant other. And even better for
parents: Nearly three quarters of young people say their relationship with their parents makes them
happy.
"They"re my foundation," says Kristiana St.John, 17, a high-school student from Queens in New
York. "My mom tells me that even if I do something stupid, she"s still going to love me no matter what.
Just knowing that makes me feel very happy and blessed."
You might think money would be clearly tied to a general sense of happiness. But almost no one
says "money" when asked what makes them happy, though people with the highest family incomes are
generally happier with life. However, having highly educated parents is a stronger predictor of happiness
than income.
From the body to the soul: Close to half say religion and spirituality are very important. And more
than half say they believe there is a higher power that has an influence over things that make them happy.
Beyond religion, simply belonging to an organized religious group makes people happier.
And parents, here"s some more for you: Most young people in school say it makes them happy.
Overwhelmingly (压倒性地), young people think marriage would make them happy and want to be
married some day. Most also want to have kids.
Finally, when asked to name their heroes, nearly half of respondents mentioned one or both of their
parents. The winner, by a nose: Mom.
B. enjoy rock"n"roll
C. stay with parents
D. have their own cars
B. her mother loves her unconditionally
C. she is stupid and often does foolish things
D. she takes it a happy thing to cheat her mother
B. work condition is the key factor.
C. parents" quality is vital.
D. friends" quality is decisive.
B. spirituality is more important than money.
C. religion is accepted by a large number of Americans.
D. religion group have saved many young Americans.

| Doctors" moonlighting is becoming popular in hospitals around China. It has not only raised a lot of heated discussions in the media, but also caught the attention of the central government in Beijing. On December 26, a spokesman of the Ministry of Health stressed that the ministry was firmly against doctors" moonlighting, while strict regulations should be applied to doctors taking part-time jobs, the Xinhua News Agency reported. Last year, the Ministry sent out a notice to a variety of health organizations to speed up the reform of their personnel (人事) system. According to the notice, medical organizations can hire medical experts as part-time doctors but such activities should take place under the hospital"s management and regulations(规定). As for moonlighting--meaning that the doctor provides medical service without the permission of the original hospital--such activity goes against China"s Practicing Doctor Law, Xinhua reported. In China, doctors used to be controlled by hospitals and they could work for only one hospital. However, as China"s medical personnel system reform developed, it has been recognized that medical human resources, just like human resources in other areas, should be shared by the whole society. But on the other hand, doctors" taking part-time jobs should follow the relative regulations applied in the medical field. First of all, they should follow relative government laws and regulations. They should also follow the rules and regulations set by the medical organizations they work for. In addition, they should pay taxes for their income from the part-time jobs. What matters most is that they should first finish their regular jobs as required and be responsible for patients to ensure qualified and safe medical treatment. | |||
