Years ago,a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more,but enjoying it less．That describes the way many of us live today．We are doing more,but enjoying it less．And when that doesn't work,we get the problem．In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction,we try stuffing still more into our days,never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach. The truth is simple;so simple it is hard to believe．Satisfaction lies with less,not with more．Yet,we pursue the myth that this thing,or that activity,will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek. Arthur Lindman,in his very effective book,"The Harried Leisure Class,"described the uselessness of pursuing more．His research focused on what people did with their leisure time．He found that as income rose,people bought more things to occupy their leisure time．But,ironically,the more things they bought,the less they valued any one of them．Carried to an extreme,he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety．That was more than twenty years ago,and his prediction seems more accurate every year. Lindman of course,is not the first to discover this．The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago．It is better,he wrote,to have less,but enjoy it more. If you would like to enjoy life more,I challenge you to experiment with me．How could you simplify your life?What could you drop?What could you do without?What could you stop pursuing?What few things could you concentrate on? The more I learn,the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things．The more I give up,the more I seem to gain．But words will never convince you．You must try it for yourself． We can make our life happier if we__.
A、get rid of useless things
B、buy more things
C、sell things we do not need
D、give up more
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：从文章中可以看出，作者主要讨论的是现代人为了追求满足和幸福而不断忙碌和拥有更多，但实际上却享受得更少的现象。文章通过Arthur Lindman的研究强调了，随着收入的增加，人们购买更多的东西来填充他们的闲暇时间，但结果却是拥有的东西越多，他们就越不珍惜其中的任何一个。这导致了在巨大的多样性中却产生了巨大的无聊。 文章通过引用《传道书》中的观点，即“拥有更少，但享受更多”，进一步强调了这一观点。作者鼓励读者简化生活，放弃一些事物，集中精力于少数几件真正重要的事情上。他认为，通过减少物质的追求和拥有，人们可以获得更多的满足感和幸福感。 因此，文章最后强调，如果我们想要让生活更幸福，我们应该放弃更多（give up more）。所以，正确答案是D。
