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.

M: No. I haven't, but 1 don't like fish very much anyway. W: Not to worry. Although it's made primarily from fish, it actually doesn't have a fishy taste. In fact, it can be flavored with tomato, cheese, or chocolate for instance M: How can it not taste fishy？ Do you know how this snack food is made？ W: First the fish is minced and cooked and fermented. Then water and starch are added to make a dough. M: It sounds awful. W: Actually the dough is very bland al that point, so the flavorings are added to give it some taste. M: Well, it still sounds a little strange. But I suppose this product will at least be low calorie and high protein. like a health food. W: Yes, you could call it that. And it has a long shelf life, so it won't spoil quickly. It is also easy to digest and can ha made from types of fish that usually aren't eaten, or from high grade fish by-products, M: Mm, have you got any samples？ I might be willing to try the cheese-flavored variety. W: No, none of it seems to be available yet. As I understand it, this fish snack food probably won't be in the stores for another couple of years. So you'll have a while to get used to the whole idea. M: A couple of years, ah？ It may just take me that long. but thanks for telling me about it.

Furthermore, the ideological origins of feminism in the United States have been obscured because, even when historians did take into account those feminist ideas and activities occurring within the United States, they failed to recognize that feminism was then a truly international movement actually centered in Europe. American feminist activists who have been described as "solitary" and "individual theorists" were in reality connected to a movement—utopian socialism—which was already popularizing feminist ideas in Europe during the two decades that culminated in the first women's rights conference held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Thus, a complete understanding of the origin and development of nineteenth century feminism in the United States requires that the geographical focus be widened to include Europe and that the detailed study made of social conditions be expanded to include the ideological development of feminism. The earliest and most popular of the utopian socialists were the Saint-Simonians. The specifically feminist part of Saint-Simonianism has, however, been less studied than the group's contribution to early socialism. This is regrettable on two counts. By 1832 feminism was the central concern of Saint-Simonianism and entirely absorbed its adherent's energy; hence, by ignoring its feminism, European historians have misunderstood Saint-Simonianism. Moreover, since many feminist ideas can be traced to Saint-Simonianism, European historians' appreciation of later feminism in France and the United States remained limited. Saint-Simonian's followers, many of whom were women, based their feminism on an interpretation of his project to reorganize the globe by replacing brute force with the rule of spiritual powers. The new world order would be ruled together by a male, to represent reflection, and a female to represent sentiment. This complementarity reflects the fact that, while the Saint-Simonians did not reject the belief that there were innate differences between men and women, they nevertheless foresaw an equally important social and political role for both sexes in their Utopia. Only a few Saint-Simonians opposed a definition of sexual equality based on gender distinction. This minority believed that individuals of both sexes were born similar in capacity and character, and they ascribed male-female differences to socialization and education. The envisioned result of both currents of thought, however, was that women would enter public life in the new age and that sexual equality would reward men as well as women with an improved way of life. The author considers those historians who describe early feminists in the US as "solitary" to be A．insufficiently aware of the ideological consequences of the Seneca Falls conference. B．overly concerned with the regional diversity of feminist ideas in the period before 1848. C．insufficiently concerned with the social conditions out of which feminism developed. D．insufficiently familiar with the international origins of 19th-century American feminist thought.
