Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames.Some people called him Satchmo.They said his mouth looked like a large bag.Musicians often called him Pops，as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.
Born in 1901 in New Orleans，he grew up poor，but lived among great musicians.Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth.Armstrong often said，“Jazz and I grew up together.”
Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy's home.In his late teens，Armstrong began to live the life of a musician.He played in parades，clubs，and on the steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River.At that time，New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians.Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.
In 1922 he went to Chicago.There，the tale of Louis Armstrong begins.From then until the end of his life，Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went.Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.
His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say，“Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.” He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best­known and most­admired people in the
world.His death，on July 6，1971，was headline news around the world.

I live in Hollywood.You may think people in such an attractive，fun­filled place are happier than others.If so，you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun.The truth is that fun
and happiness have little or nothing in common.Fun is what we experience during an act.Happiness is what we experience after an act.It is a deeper，more long­lasting emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game，watching a movie or television，are fun activities that help us relax，temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh.But they do not bring happiness，because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play，it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun.These rich，beautiful individuals have constant access to exciting parties，fancy cars，expensive homes，everything that spells “happiness”．But in memoir(回忆录) after memoir，celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression，alcoholism，drag addiction，broken marriages，troubled children，and long­time loneliness.
The way people hold on to the belief that a fun­filled，pain­free life equates happiness actually decreases their chances of ever attaining real happiness.If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness，then pain must be equated with unhappiness.But，in fact，the opposite is true: More times than not，things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result，many people avoid the very efforts that are the source of true happiness.They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage，raising children，professional achievement，religious commitment，charitable work and self­improvement.
【语篇解读】本文从各个层面分析快乐和乐趣之间的本质区别，从而得出结论：乐趣永远代替不了快乐。

8．According to the passage，“fun activities” ．
A．are the things we do before we find happiness
B．may help us relax and forget our problems sometimes
C．will lead us to the true happiness
D．could provide long­last positive effects
B[细节理解题。

从第二段倒数第二句可知，快乐的活动可以帮助我们放松，有时忘记我们的问题。

]
9．In the author's opinion，those Hollywood stars ．
A．possess happiness because they are rich and famous
B．experience almost all kinds of happy things
C．tell us happiness isn't equal to fun using their own stories
D．have to suffer a lot before they become successful
C[细节理解题。

从第三段第一句可知，好莱坞的明星的故事告诉我们幸福不等于快乐，故选C。

]
10．It is difficult for people to find real happiness because ．
A．they believe happiness is the fun life without pain
B．they find pain equals unhappiness
C．they fear to lose what they already have in life
D．they are afraid all their efforts were in vain
A[细节理解题。

从第四段第一句可知，人们认为幸福就是没有痛苦的快乐，这减少了人们获得幸福的可能性，故选A。

]
11．The main purpose of the text is to ．
A．describe the difference between happiness and fun
B．show the true meaning of happiness
C．encourage people to pursue fun activities
D．advise people to find their real life
B[写作意图题。

从全篇文章和最后一段第一句可知，作者是想告诉我们真正的幸福是什么。

故选B。
