When we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary--and those pinnacles of sheer delight--and those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.
For a child, happiness has a magical quality. I remember making hide-outs in newly cut hay, playing cops and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.
In the teen-age years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love, popularity and whether that zit will clear up before prom night, I can still feel the agony of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to.
In adulthood the things that bring profound joy--birth, love, marriage--also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. Lover may not last, sex
A. They may get happiness from games.
B. They may feel happy if they get a role in a school play.
C. They feel happy all the time.
D. An ordinary event may put them at a pinnacle of sheer delight.

When we worry about who might be spying on our private lives, we usually think about the Federal agents. But the private sector outdoes the government every time. It’s Linda Tripp, not the FBI, who is facing charges under Maryland’s laws against secret telephone taping. It’s our banks, not the Internal Revenue Service(IRS), that pass our private financial data to telemarketing firms.
Consumer activists are pressing Congress for better privacy laws without much result so far. The legislators lean toward letting business people track our financial habits virtually at will. As an example of what’s going on, consider U.S. Bancorp, which was recently sued for deceptive practices by the state of Minnesota. According to the lawsuit, the bank supplied a telemarketer called Member Works with sensitive customer data such as names, phone numbers, bank account and credit-card numbers, Social Securit
A. is mainly carried out by means of secret taping
B. has been intensified with the help of the IRS
C. is practiced exclusively by the FBI
D. is more prevalent in business circles
