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 isn't always good, loved ones die. For adults, happiness is complicated.

Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a blend of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I doubt that my great-grandmother, who raised 14 children and took in washing, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what fulfilled her. If she was happy with what she had, perhaps it was because she didn't expect life to be very different.

We, on the other hand, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we "gotta have."

We're so self-conscious about our "right" to it that it's making us miserable. So we chase it and equate it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.

While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn't about what happens to us--it's about how we perceive what happens to us. It's the knack of finding a positive for every negative, and viewing a setback as a challenge. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.

According to the passage, which of the following statements about children is NOT true？

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.

"I cannot explain it in scientific terms but, without any doubt, everyone who sees them in the wild is lifted by them," Jonathan Gordon, of Oxford University zoology department, said.

"You only ever see them in the wild if they want you to see them. They are the only wild animal that comes to man of their own free will and that makes you feel privileged. You get a buzz because they are joyful, and you can prove scientifically that they spend a lot of their life playing. '

Professor Gordon works for the International Fund for Animal Welfare and spends months on, the organization's research boat. "If things aren't going well on the boat and you are depressed, the sight of dolphins lifts you and makes you feel better at once. They cannot be doing this on purpose, but I can believe that people who are intensely depressed or suffering from some kind of mental blockage could be eased by swimming among them. "

"I cannot go along with those who claim they have magical powers but even though I am scientifically hardheaded I have to admit they somehow make you feel good."

That view is shared by the authors of Beyond the Blue, a book on the healing power of dolphins. The authors say that when the mind is calm it triggers the release of a chemical also found in the anti-depressant drug Valium.

Jenny Sheridan, of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, said: "Swimming with dolphins will not repair any brain damage. But if the child is suffering from lack of confidence it might help."

Mark Simmonds of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, said: "The interaction of dolphin with sick children can be instrumental in recovery. No one can explain why. But the behavior. of these beautiful animals induces awe and pleasure in children."

This passage is mainly about ______.

A．the relationship between dolphins and people

B．the healing power of dolphins

C．dolphins and people's depression

D．animals and treatment of diseases
