单选题Questionsare based on the following passage.
I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled 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 experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding 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 glamorous parties, fancy cars, and expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness". But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he's honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its distinguishing features.
Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out ever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
Which of the following is true?

A．Fun creates long-lasting satisfaction.
B．Fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness.
C．Happiness is enduring whereas fun is short-lived.
D．Fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness.

参考答案C

解析:参考译文
我住在迪士尼、好莱坞和终年有太阳的地方。你可能会认为，住在这样一个迷人而充满乐趣的地方的人会比其他地方的人更快乐。如果是这样，那么你就误解了快乐的真谛。
很多智者依然认为快乐就等于乐趣。事实上，二者有一丁点儿或者根本没有共同点。乐趣是贯穿于一个人行为经历的感受，而快乐则是行为结束之后的体验。它是一种更深刻、更持久的情绪。去游乐场、玩球类游戏、看电影或看电视都是帮助我们放松，暂时忘记烦恼甚至欢笑的有趣的活动。但是它们不能带给你快乐，因为它们的积极影响随着乐趣的结束而结束。
我常常想．如果好莱坞明星来扮演一个角色，用来告诉我们快乐与乐趣无关。这些漂亮富有的人频繁进入魅力四射的聚会、名车和豪宅，去每一个看似“快乐“的地方。然而，在一部部名人的自传里，他们揭示出所有乐趣之下隐藏的不快乐：沮丧、酗酒、吸毒、婚姻破裂、儿女不幸，以及歇斯底里的孤独。试问一个单身汉，为什么对约会越来越不满却仍然拒绝结婚。如果他诚实，他会告诉你因为他害怕承诺。因为事实上，承诺让人很痛苦。单身生活充满乐趣、冒险和刺激。当然，婚后也会有这些瞬间．但是没有突出特点。
同样．选择不生孩子的夫妻决定获得没有痛苦的乐趣，而不是痛苦的快乐。他们可以出去吃饭，想睡到什么时候就睡到什么时候。而那些有孩子的夫妻很难睡一个好觉，或者有三天假期。我不知道有多少父母会选择“乐趣”一词来形容他们抚养孩子的过程。
理解并接受真正的快乐与乐趣无关是我们能达到的最理想的认识之一。它解放了时间：现在我们可以将更多时间花在真正能增加我们快乐的活动上。它解放了我们的金钱：买新车或名贵的衣服与增加我们的快乐无关．现在看来似乎毫无意义。同时，它也将我们从嫉妒中解放了出来：我们现在明白了，那些所有富裕、光芒四射、因为总是有很多乐趣而被我们视作快乐的人事实上可能根本不快乐。
解析
推断题。四个选项都是关于快乐和乐趣的区别，可定位至文章第二段，根据Fun is what experience during an act．Happiness is what we experience after an act．It is a deeper，more abiding emotion．(乐趣是贯穿于一个人行为经历的感受，而快乐则是行为结束之后的体验。它是一种更深刻、更持久的情绪。)可知相对乐趣而言．快乐更持久。因此，正确答案是C。
