M: Good morning. I hope I can answer your questions. W: Are people in rich countries happier than people in not-so-rich countries？ M: Well, I would say there is a relationship between national wealth and well-being. In other words, the economic wealth of a country does appear to reflect the overall well-being of its citizens. W: Does it mean that rich people in a country are happier than poor people？ M: In some poor Countries, satisfaction with one's financial situation does affect happiness. But once people are able to afford the basic necessities of life; having more money doesn't necessarily make them happier. W: What about rich places like Europe and United States？ Are income and happiness related？ M: Very little. Rich people are only slightly happier than the average citizen. W: I'm always wondering whether winning a lottery can bring happiness. M: Well, as a matter of fact, various studies show that lottery winners only get temporary joy. W: I guess wealth is like health. If you don't have your health or if you're extremely poor, you will be miserable. M: Yes, that's true. Happiness is wanting what we have rather than getting what we want. W: That's a nice way of putting it. In your opinion, do people become happier as their countries be come richer？ M: Well, if I take the case of the United States, from 1957 to 1996, the proportion of people who said that they were very happy declined from 35% to 30%. But during that same period, the average income per person in the United States doubled. W: So, you mean that a steady increase in a country's prosperity does not mean an increase in its people's happiness. M: That's right. What does the woman do？ A．A teacher of economics. B．A professor of studying happiness. C．A consultant on economic affairs. D．A specialist in political science.

W: That's right and what would you like to know about it？ M: Well, I'm not really sure what the purpose of the event is. W: The party will provide students with a chance to get to know each other, and a chance for students who have successfully been through university to pass on some valuable advice. M: Who's organizing the event？ Is it the faculty or... W: Actually, it is the Alumni Association that's organizing this event. So, it's strictly a student to student event. M: I hope we won't have to sit through a lot of boring speeches. I mean aren't these students just "brains" anyway. What can they actually do to help a guy like me？ W: No, these people are not "brains" at all. The Alumni are simply a group of normal, but grateful students who hope that, by sharing their experiences with new students, they can help more students to successfully graduate. M: But still we have any time for some fun at this party？ W: Most of the time will be split between eating, dancing, and singing—so not to worry. However, some of the words of wisdom from the former students should not be missed. M: You've got a point. They are, after all, success stories if they've managed to survive university life.

W: Really？ M: Yeah, so what're you doing this summer, anything special？ W: Well, actually yeah. My parents have always liked taking my sister and me to different places in the United States. You know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. And so even though we are older now, they still do once in a while. M: Oh, so where are you going this summer？ W: Well, this summer. It's finally going to be Gettysburg. M: Finally？ You mean they never took you there yet？ I mean Gettysburg. It's probably the most famous civil war site in the country. It's only a couple of hours away. I think that would be one of the first places that they've taken you. I have been there a couple of times. W: We were gonna to be about ten, well, no, it was exactly ten years ago. But I don't know. Something happened, I cannot remember what... M: Something changed your plans. W: Yeah, don't ask me what it was, but we ended up not going anywhere that year. I hope that doesn't happen again this year. I wrote a paper about Gettysburg last semester for a history class. I was to make a thorough investigation on the political situation in the United States right after the battle at Gettysburg, so I'm eager to see the place. (23) A．Their final exams and papers.
