27、   Poets, songwriters and left-wing politicians hate the idea, but for decades, opinion-poll evidence has been clear: money buys happiness and the richer you are, the more likely you are to express satisfaction with your life. Until now, a survey of 43 countries published on October 30th by the Pew Research Centre shows that people in emerging markets are within a whisker of(一步之遥) expressing the same level of satisfaction as people in rich countries. It is in line with the standard view of happiness and income seen so far.

According to the survey, in 2007, 57%of respondents in rich countries regarded themselves as happy; in emerging markets the share was 33% ;in poor countries only 16%-a classic expression of the standard view. But in 2017,54% of rich-country respondents counted themselves as happy, whereas in emerging markets the percentage jumped to 51%.

The sharp increase happened thanks to huge improvements in countries such as Indonesia(+35) and Pakistan(+22).In 12 of the 24 emerging markets, half or more people rate their life satisfaction in the top of the ladder.

This is not to say the link between income and satisfaction has been snapped. Poor countries still lag behind: only a quarter of the people there count themselves as happy-half the level of the other two groups. There is also a clear link between happiness and income growth. China’s GDP rose at an annual average rate of 10% in 2007-2017 and its happiness level rose 26 points.

Within countries, richer people express more satisfaction than their poorer neighbors. The study divided respondents into categories with higher and lower incomes and fewer and more household goods. In every country in every group, richer folk with more goods expressed higher levels of happiness. So at a personal level, money does buy happiness. And if you ask people about different aspects of their lives-health, family life, religion, standard of living-it turns out that satisfaction with living standards still has the biggest influence on happiness.

【1】What led to the increase of happiness in emerging markets?

A.Economic downturn.

B.Investment in emerging markets.

C.Their rapid development.

D.More cooperation with rich countries.

【2】What's the purpose of the writer by mentioning China's GDP?

A.To show that there is a link between happiness and income growth.

B.To remind readers of the great progress that China has made.

C.To express the author's concern about the development of emerging markets.

D.To prove that China's GDP growth contributed to the happiness of people in Asia.

【3】What's the standard view of happiness and income?

A.Income is not closely related to happiness.

B.Happiness does not depend on how much money you earn.

C.The higher your income is, the more likely you will feel satisfied.

D.The more you are satisfied, the more you can earn every month.

【4】What is the author's attitude to the standard view of happiness and income?

A.Disappointed. B.Doubtful. C.Indifferent. D.Supportive.

28、Are you single or married? Are you a cat or a dog owner? Do you exercise, or are you a “couch potato”? These questions and many others are about your lifestyle.

People in the United States feel that they can choose their lifestyles and even shape their own identities. In newspapers, lifestyle issues are discussed in the features or style section. In the Chicago Tribune this section is called “Tempo”. People turn to this section for lively discussion on lifestyle choices they face with regard to their personal identities, their families, and their social lives.

Many American people believe that they can make their lives happy and satisfying despite their problems. If they lack confidence or tend to feel anxious, shy, angry, or depressed, they believe that they can change themselves. Self-help books, magazines, and feature articles are filled with advice from experts about steps to take to become a happier or more satisfied person and to improve one’s self-respect. Part of this research for self-improvement is a belief that even one’s own appearance can be controlled.

Lifestyle choices also involve moral and social issues. How should children be raised? How should people behave on a date? How should elderly people be treated? How can people stay happily married? All these kinds of issues are constantly discussed and are constantly changing.

Not only are experts such as psychologists consulted, but stars from the political and entertainment worlds are held up as lifestyle leaders as well. In the newspaper, some articles discuss in detail the personal lives or public work of famous movie stars, authors and artists. The lifestyle choices these people make contribute to the public discussion of all the issues that people think about.

A well-known advertising slogan is “Just do it.” In the culture of the United States, people believe that they can take action and become the kind of people they want to be and live the way they want to live.
