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: I see. So a machine can be more capable than a man. What do we learn from the conversation？ A．The woman will work together with a machine. B．The machine has been replaced by a man. C．The woman lost her job. D．The woman was happy to work with a capable computer.
