A life filled with meaning is what most of us want for ourselves. Then, what makes a meaningful

16、 life?Many researchers agree that a meaningful life comes down to three factors (因素): having long-term goals, believing that ones life matters, and feeling that ones life fits together and “makes sense”.But we believe there is more to consider. Sometimes life enables us to experience small moments o

17、f beauty. When people are open to appreciating (欣赏) such experiences, these moments may improve how they see their own life. We call this experiential appreciation (EA). EA is about the person feeling connected to events and being able to appreciate the value within the connection. It shows the disc

18、overy of and admiration for lifes beauty.We recently set out to better understand EA in studies. We were interested in whether EA was also tied to general judgment of meaning in life.

19、nt methods of reducing stress. We found that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for lifes beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful.In the next study, we asked people to rate the degree to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I appreciate the

20、 beauty of life” and “I appreciate little things in life,” as well as other statements that related to the three factors and a general sense of meaning in life. Our results showed that the more people reported that they were “appreciating life” and its many experiences, the more they felt their life

21、 was valuable.In the following studies, we further looked at the connection between EA and meaningfulness. For example, we found that people who were asked to look back on the most meaningful event of the past week generally reported high EA in those moments.All the results proved our theory (假设) tr

22、ue. But putting it into practice can be difficult. Our fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with goals. We try to get the highest output both at work and in spare time. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. We should slow down and let life surprise us

24、ge?AThinking back to the past weakens our sense of meaning.BEnjoying small things can influence our attitude toward life.CProper stress management is the key to living a satisfying life.DGood judgment on beauty improves connections among people.10What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?AIt is ea

25、sier for results-driven people to achieve success.BWe often turn a blind eye to the present moment.CA fast-paced lifestyle helps us reach our goals.DFuture life will bring us many more surprises.11What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage?ATo explain how to discover beauty in life.BTo
