There is no doubt that the America of 2007 is far richer than the

24、America of 1977. There have been many changes because of this “richness”, for example: The houses are getting bigger. There are more leisure activities. Life is getting a lot easier because of labour-saving machines, such as dish washer,microwave oven, etc,Answer the following questions,B. In 1977,

25、a survey was done to find out how happy Americans were. Thirty years later, a similar survey was done to see if American people felt happier. The below are the results of the two surveys. Do Americans today feel much happier than 30 years ago,Pre-reading Activities,Reading Comprehension,The more mon

26、ey, the happier,Para.1-2,T,Reading Comprehension,In 1968, the American President Richard Nixon said, “In the next 20 years we shall become much richer, but will we really be happier?” The wisdom of Nixons words is almost a proved truth: beyond a certain point, when peoples basic needs for food, shel

27、ter, social position and work are met, greater wealth does not bring more happiness. The America of 2007 is far richer than the America of 1977. The average lifespan is 78 years, up from 74 years. Their homes are bigger and crowded with more modern home appliances (microwave ovens, personal computer

28、s, flat-panel TVs). But their happiness has not increased,According to a report of the National Opinion Research Centre at the University of Chicago, in 1977, 35.7 percent of Americans rated themselves “very happy”, 53.2 percent said they were “pretty happy” and 11.1 percent said they were “not too

29、happy”. In 2007, the figures were similar: 32.4 percent rated themselves “very happy”, 55.9 percent chose “pretty happy” and 11.7 percent chose “not too happy”. Similarly, in most developed countries, the degree of happiness has remained the same for decades. So why doesnt happiness increase with mo

30、ney? Some scholars say people want ever-bigger homes, because their friends have ever-bigger homes. But there is no extra pleasure in owning these bigger homes, because all our friends have them too. Meanwhile, buying the house may make people become more anxious; and they may regret sacrificing som

31、e leisureworking harder to buy the bigger home. Greater individual wealth does not bring greater national welfare,T,Reading Comprehension,Para.3-4,T,Reading Comprehension,Moreover, the American government has ignored another important fact: people are not only no happier, they are in fact becoming m

32、entally ill. Once someone has the income of those among the top two-thirds of a developed nation, it makes no difference to his or her happiness or mental health. A 25-year-old American today is between three and ten times more likely to be suffering from major sad feelings than in 1950. A normal mo

33、dern North American child would be considered as mentally ill by the 1950s standards. Answering the same questions, the average child in the 1980s experienced as much anxiety as patients of mental illness in the 1950s. Similar rates of increase of anxiety have been found in Britain as well,Para.5-6,

34、T,Reading Comprehension,If the increase of money does not bring more happiness, then personal or national economic growth should not continue to be the major goal of the majority of people or politicians in developed nations. Rather we should pay more attention to the basic needs of children, especi

35、ally infants. Scientific evidence suggests that it is the care we receive in the first six years, not our genes, that most decides our ability to enjoy our life. The earlier a child is neglected or treated rudely, or has parents who divorced, the greater the child suffers from mental disorder later

36、in life. In conclusion, once your income has reached a certain level, it is the quality of your early care, rather than more money, that determines your ability to enjoy your life,Para.7-9,Language Points,1. wisdom n. good sense and judgement , based especially on your experience of life e.g. She gi

37、ves an example of bravery and wisdom,Language Points,2. shelter n. a place to live, considered as one of the basic needs of life e.g. They are in desperate need of food and shelter,Language Points,3. rate v. to think that somebody or something has a particular quality, value or standard e.g. The fil

39、ing more important e.g. She sacrificed a promising career to look after her kids,Language Points,5. standard n. a level of quality, skill, ability or achievement by which someone or something is judged, that is considered to be necessary or acceptable in a particular situation e.g. Students have to

40、reach a certain standard or they wont pass,standard: e.g. Living standards have improved over the last century,Language Points,6. neglect v. to pay too little attention to something e.g. Many of these ideas have been neglected by modern historians,7. treat v. to behave in a particular way towards so

41、mebody e.g. She treats me like one of the family. n. 1) something special that you give someone or do for them because you know they will enjoy it e.g. Marry took her son to the history museum as a treat. 2) my treat: (spoken) used to tell someone that you will pay for something such as a meal for t

42、hem e.g. Lets go out to lunchmy treat,Language Points,Language Points,8. determine v. to decide or arrange something officially e.g. An inquiry was set up to determine the cause of the accident. be determined to do something. e.g. Im determined to succeed,财富越多就越幸福吗,美国总统理查德尼克松1968年曾经说过：“在未来的20年中，我们会变

43、得越来越富有，但是我们会越来越幸福吗？”尼克松话中所包含的哲理已经基本上成为一个不争的事实：超过某一个点，即当人们对于食物、住所、社会地位和工作的基本要求得到满足后，更多的财富并不能够带来更多的幸福。 2007年的美国远比1977年的美国富有。人均寿命78岁，高于1977年的74岁。他们的房子变得更大，里面有更多的家用电器（微波炉、个人电脑、平板电视）。但是他们的幸福感并没有增加,译文,译文,芝加哥大学民意调查中心的一份报告指出：1977年的时候，35.7%的美国人认为自己“非常幸福”，53.2%认为自己“比较幸福”，还有11.1%则认为自己“不是很幸福”。到了2007年，这组数据基本没有变化

44、：32.4% 认为自己“非常幸福”，55.9%选择“比较幸福”，11.7%认为自己“不是很幸福”。同样，在很多发达国家，幸福感在几十年内基本保持不变。 为什么幸福感没有与财富同步增长呢？一些学者认为，人们想要越来越大的房子，因为他们朋友的房子越来越大。但是拥有这些大房子并不能给他们带来更多的幸福，因为朋友们也有这样的房子。同时，因为要买房子，人们变得更加焦虑。他们后悔自己牺牲掉一些休息时间为了买更大的房子他们必须更努力地工作。越来越多的个人财富并不能带来更强的国民幸福感,译文,此外，美国政府还忽视了另一个很重要的事实：人们不仅没有感到更幸福，事实上他们在精神上变得不健康。在发达国家，一旦一个人

45、的收入水平处于这个国家的前三分之二以内，财富的增加与他的幸福感或者精神健康就没有太大关系了。 如今一个25岁的美国人感到非常悲伤的几率是1950年时的3至10倍。如果按照20世纪50年代的标准，现在正常的北美儿童将被认为是精神不健康的。为什么这么说呢？回答相同的（问卷）问题，20世纪80年代普通儿童所经历的焦虑程度与20世纪50年代的精神病人一样。类似的精神焦虑程度增加的现象在英国也同样存在,译文,如果财富的增长并没有带来幸福感的增强，那么大部分民众或者政治家就不应该继续以个人或者国家的经济增长作为自己的主要目标，而是应该更多地关注儿童，尤其是婴幼儿的基本需求。 科学研究表明：我们能享受生活并

46、不取决于我们的基因，而取决于生命最初的几年中我们所受到的关爱。对一个儿童而言，他被忽视或受到粗鲁对待或遭遇父母离异的年龄越小，他在未来生活中遭受精神失常的可能性就越大。 总而言之，一旦你的收入达到一定水平，对你而言更重要的就是你早期得到的关爱的质量，并非财富的增加，前者决定了你热爱生活的能力,After-reading Activities,Some people say “Money does not buy happiness,” but others say “Money makes the world go round.” Which do you agree with? Why? D
