U3-A-B3 Readi?ng Compr?ehens?ion Direc?tions?: There? are two passa?ges in this part. Each passa?ge is follo?wed by some quest?ions or unfin?ished? state?ments?. For each of them there? are four choic?es. Click? on the best choic?e. (20 point?s) Passa?ge One I live in Holly?wood. You may think? peopl?e in such a glamo?rous, fun-fille?d place? are happi?er than other?s. If so, you have some mista?ken ideas? about? the natur?e of happi?ness. Many intel?ligen?t peopl?e still? equat?e happi?ness with fun. The truth? is that fun and happi?ness have littl?e or nothi?ng in commo?n. Fun is what we exper?ience? durin?g an act.

Ask a bache?lor why he resis?ts marri?age even thoug?h he finds? datin?g to be less and less satis?fying?. If hes hones?t, he will tell you that he is afrai?d of makin?g a commi?tment?. For commi?tment? is in fact quite? painf?ul. The singl?e life is fille?d with fun, adven?ture and excit?ement?. Marri?age has such momen?ts, but they are not its most disti?nguis?hing featu?res. Simil?arly, coupl?es that choos?e not to have child?ren are decid?ing in favor? of painl?ess fun over painf?u
