Passage 5  (山东省聊城市2008年高三年级模拟（三）)  完形填空

Teenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional  __36__  such as mathematics and languages.

The class sits in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten: someone starts, the __37__ voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side.

The aim of the game is to __38__  for an opportunity to shout out the  __39__  without clashing（相撞）with another voice or leaving a pause. On the first try,  __40__  of the young Germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in. But by the fifth  __41__ , they develop a rhythm. The  __42__. give other people space but also __43__  claim your own. This is a requirement for social well-being.

Unlike schools in other nations,  German schools do not usually have school sports teams or seek to build school spirit. Many teens admit they are  __44__  and confused, but school is not usually the place to find relief.

The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness __45__. It is  __46__  for 17-19-year-olds preparing for university entrance exams. 

“The course isn’t there to make you happy as  __47__ ,” Ernst Fritz-Schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, “ __48__  rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.”

Cooking a meal together will be one of the class  __49__, along with improving body language under the  __50__  of two professional actresses.

The course is taught for three periods a week.  __51__  the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.

“In the first period, we had to each say something   __52__  about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people or teasing,” said Fanny, 17.

The message: self-esteem（自尊）improves  __53__  too.

Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also  __54__  at some US universities, but are mainly based on positive thinking, using __55__  from studies of depression.

“That would be too one-sided for us. We want to show how decent（好的）food or exercise can help too,” the principal said.
