As the freezing water started rushing in, our ship was consumed quickly by the dark water. My train of thought was disturbed by Philly licking my hand dearly. Are you hungry? I spoke my first words ever since the shipwreck occurred. Woof, woof! Barked Philly enthusiastically. At this moment, my stomach gave a loud growl, too. I could not remember when my last meal was, probably a tencourse dinner on the ship. As I had never fished before! I thought maybe I could try something simpler, like picking fruits. With Philly at my side, armed with a sharp branch, we walked into the forest on the island together. Suddenly I thought I heard noises. Could there be anyone else on this island? I wondered. As we were looking for fruit trees, we chanced upon one that bore yellow, juicylooking fruit. Philly started barkingwe had pany, It was a dark skinned woman, holding a sharp spear, dressed in fur and grass. I backed away from her, afraid that she would be aggressive. Then, I saw that she was trying to save us. Pointing her spear at the fruit tree, she shook her head strongly. I nodded at her to show I understood what she was saying. Signaling to us to follow her, she turned to walk along a small path that I had never noticed. At the end of the small path, there was a small village, Tears of joy filled my eyes. 28.

The FAAH gene, the DNA in question, makes a protein that affects feelings of pleasure and pain. People with a particular version of it tend to be cheerier souls. The researchers believe that the finding can help explain why some of the world39。s poorest nations are also the happiest. The team from Bulgaria looked at whether there was a connection between the level of the FAAH gene in a population and the number of people who said they were very happy in the global study of life satisfaction. Sweden, one of the happiest countries in Europe and in the world, has lots of happy DNA. Some 26. 3 per cent of Swedes have the happiness gene, pared t0 23 per cent of the British, 21 per cent of the French and 20 per cent of Germans. The happiness gene is even rarer in southern Europe, where it is found in 18 per cent of Greeks and just 12 per cent of Italians. In contrast, the people in Iraq and Jordan are among the least likely to rate themselves as very happy and also have the lowest levels of the gene. But the gene and optimism dont always go hand in hand. For instance, Russians score very low on happiness, despite having the right DNA, the Journal of Happiness Studies reports. Climatic differences are also found to be closely associated with national differences in happiness. Study coauthor Michael Minkov said, We can notice the high occurrence of the gene in equatorial(赤道的 ) and tropical environments in South America and Africa, and the lower occurrence of it around the Mediterranean Sea than in Northern Europe. 439。Geics is not the only determining factor (因素 ) of happiness, A spokesman for the journal39。s publisher said, The economic and political difficulties continuously experienced by Eastern European nations contribute to the very low happiness scores of Russians. Nations not blessed with the right DNA aren’t necessaril y miserable happiness can still rise and fall for other reasons. 32. The underline
