Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Happiness is the primary goal of human existence. Philosophers have wrestled with the concept of happiness. Legislators create laws to support citizens’ rights to pursue happiness. Television, radio, and print advertisers assure consumers that various products will guarantee happiness. Clearly, everyone, from writers and philosophers to legislators and the average person on the street thinks a great deal about happiness. What makes happiness so important to human existence?
not only does happiness feel good, but it appears to provide a variety of psychological and physical benefits. Happiness plays a significant role in enhancing good health, strengthening the immune system, promoting longevity, improving productivity and performance, and increasing resilience. Happy people work hard, play hard, have an active social life, experience good health, and live longer.
However, good news abounds in the study of happiness. Fortunately, humans experience happiness from a wide range of stimuli, from traveling to an exotic destination to redecorating one's home or from winning a game of soccer to eating a delicious meal. Simply watching a favorite television show or laughing at a funny joke can boost a depressed mood. While the happiness produced by such experiences tends to be short lived, certain conditions do promote a more long-lasting and durable state of happiness as a lifestyle: a wide social network, believing in a meaningful reason for one’s existence, and establishing goals and achieving them.
Surprisingly, income is not a primary factor in determining a person’s level of happiness once the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter have been met. More important is one’s social network and having close friends and family is vital to one’s overall level of happiness. Even sharing one’s home with an animal companion can make a person happier.
According to the writer, what is the primary goal of human life?
Good health
Social life
Long life
Happiness
Correct answer
Good health
Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Achievement of goals provides momentary happiness.
