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: 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.

That sounds quite interesting. Can you explain it？ M: For example, many students who come to the United States experience freedoms they have never enjoyed in their country. W: Sure, such as freedom from family, freedom from cultural norms they didn't like and freedom from the pressures of working in a real job. M: However, too much freedom and unstructured life can lead to other problems. Students sometimes skip classes, stay out late, and engage in activities that their families and cultures might not approve of, but students want to enjoy "freedom" while it lasts. W: So when students return back to their countries, they can struggle with fitting back into the cultural norms and family expectations of the past. M: Yes. Naturally, depression is possible and a loss of self can result. W: Then what can students do to minimize this Re-entry Shock？ M: First of all, keep in contact with your family and friends while you are abroad. They will be your first source of advice and support once you return. W: What else？ M: Second, have a clear plan what you will do when you return. Start looking for a job now or apply to enter a school months before you return. Re-entry Shock can be greatest when you have nothing to do when you return. (23) A．How to go abroad for study.
