第一篇：
Does money make people happier? Studies show that it does.when people at the poverty level are suddenly paid more. Other studies also show that people who lose the money they are used to having become very unhappy. But the most important thing seems to be that people are happiest when they make more than other people. Perhaps one secret of happiness is just to think about people who don’t have as much money as you. Sadly, however, the opposite is also true. When you compare yourself to friends and neighbors who have greater incomes, you may become unhappy.
People in poverty need enough food to be healthy but what happens when people suddenly become prosperous? This is the case in China right now where people have become wealthy, but can only have one child. The result is an army of “little emperors”: fat, spoiled children. A child measures happiness in love, not food, and there’s nothing good about over-feeding a child.
Richard Layard, director of the London School of Economics, says, “The six key factors now scientifically established to affect happiness most are: mental health, satisfying and secure work, a secure and loving private life, a safe community, freedom, and moral values.” It is quite interesting that only one of these has to do with making money. People who realize this think that it is better to be paid in something other than money, for example: time.
Many people are now starting to take time off in different ways. Rather than saving up their vacations for a rushed trip once a year, people are taking a day or so here and there to have smaller, quieter vacations. In some cases, people are going in the other direction and taking vacations of several months or even a year. On these vacations, they might volunteer in another country or learn a new skill like a foreign language__________. (from Read and Think: A reading Strategies Course)
