阅读理解     For many, it is a journey that you will never give up, and the more you put in, the more you get out. While this kind of attitude may work for some, the latest scientific research suggests that it can also go wrong for many people.     Mauss has shown that seeking happiness can also increase feelings of loneliness and disconnection, perhaps because it causes you to focus your attention on yourself and your own feelings rather than appreciating the people around you. "Self-focus might make me engage with other people less, and I might judge other people more negatively if I think they 'mess' with my happiness, "Mauss added.     These effects don't end there. Maglio at the University of, Toronto found another way that the conscious happiness-seeking may have the opposite effect: By leading us to feel that time is slipping away. Happiness comes from something pleasant that I can enjoy right now, to something burdensome（难以承担的）that I have to keep working at over and over and over, " Maglio says.     "If you are constantly reminded of your friend enjoying at this beautiful location or at that delicious dinner, I think that might serve as a reminder that other people are happier than you-and kick-start（强力启动）that goal of happiness again. "     Mauss, meanwhile, points out that a lot of research has found that people who take a more "accepting" altitude to bad feelings-rather than constantly trying to fight them as the enemy--actually end up more satisfied with their life over the long-term. When you are trying to be happy, you may become judgmental and disapproving of bad things in your life. . . "For these reasons, she advises people to have a more stoic（苦修的）attitude to life's ups and downs, in which you accept bad feelings as events which last only a short time rather than trying to remove them entirely.     Happiness really is like a shy animal. And once you stop chasing it, you might just find that it appears naturally of its own accord. （1） What does "it" in Paragraph I refer to? A . Seeking happiness. B . Earning money. C . Finding jobs.
