26、Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you’re unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don’t have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities(能力)to enjoy life. Most people are already flooded with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion(豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you’re hungry.
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart’s and Bach’s shouldn’t be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you’ve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.

29、 Birds can fill any spring or summer day with music: All you have to do is open your window to hear crows “caw”, killdears call “kill—deah! Kill—deah!” and chickadees sing “chickadee—dee—dee”.
But come back an hour later, and you’ll still hear them singing the same song, repeatedly. That’s because they’re hard at work. These singers are usually male, and are singing their hearts out to guard their territory and attract a mate.
On the territorial front, the singers say, “This is my area and I’m letting everyone else, especially every other male in the area, know that this is my space.”
Other animals mark their territory by leaving their smell everywhere. Even people mark areas with fences. But birds don’t do it that way, they will sing. And they will sing that song over and over again.
And, if that song attracts a mate in the process, more power to the male. There are nearly 10,000 species of birds in the world, and every species is different, but oftentimes the females is the one that picks the mates.
The male’s songs basically express, “Hey, females, if you’re passing by, listen to me because I’ve got a beautiful song! I’m a healthy male! You should stop by and check me out!”
While the male is singing, he can’t look for food, and his calls make him more easily found by his killers. For females, it takes a lot of energy to lay eggs and raise young, so she wants to be sure she chooses the right mate before putting all his eggs in one basket, so to speak.
During the winter, birds often sing fewer notes, or just one note, to each other. These notes are simply a way to warn the strangers of their territory.
【1】How do birds mark their territory?
A.By building nests on trees. B.By telling others where food is.
C.By leaving their smell everywhere. D.By singing the same song repeatedly.
【2】How many reasons why birds sing are given?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
【3】When do birds sing most?
A.In winter. B.In spring or winter. C.In autumn. D.In spring or summer.
【4】In which section of a website can you probably read the text?
A.Health. B.Sports. C.Science. D.Food.
