[单项选择]Passage 2 There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy.

They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour (使变坏) the pleasure of society, offend(顶撞) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.
