For questions 1-7, choose the best answer (A, B, Cor D). 1. According to the article, our idea about money and happiness A fs formed ata very young age is based on actual fact. changes as we get older is commonly held by adults one writer uses the example of the rich relative to be humorous, teach a moral ‘war against greed show an exception, one>g 3.

Paul Getty define a rich person?” A Someone who can't know their actual worth B_Somecne who will never work again C Someone who never uses credit D__Somecne who is unconcemed about their wealth Money can ss, right? Wrong. John Silveira argues that happiness is up for grabs - if you can afford it. ‘The results are in: money can buy happiness, but it doesn't come cheap. Not only that, the amount of happiness your money can buy can be measured. I know this Runs GONE everything we've ever heard since childhood about money —"It can’t buy happiness, it can’t 5 buy health, and it can't buy love." But the facts don't ‘support this. First, according to surveys, the well-off are more ‘optimistic about their ives. Optimism is a major factor in happiness. Second, medical evidence shows those with 10 more money live longer, healthier lives than those with less. There are always the stories featuring the Wade uncle who had a heart attack while living the high life, but ‘on average, the affluent live longer and healthier lives. Not only that, but despite all the food they can buy with 15 their loot, the rich tend to be thinner than the poor ~ another sign of good health In the Whitehall Survey, conducted at Univer College London, 17,000 civil servants were followed. All are well educated and have the same access to health 20. care. Yet the clerks at the bottom of the income scale have triple the HOHEalty RAKE as those at the top. A U.S. study involving 300,000 men, called the Multiple Risk Intervention Factor, discovered every income class was healthier than the classes below them and more sick than 25 the ones above. 6 Cathy feels that those who say happiness doesn't come from money A ust don't want to admit it B_ aren't being honest with thersehves. firmly beeve t's tre. D_ ave bitter about their poverty, 7 Which of the following staternents woud the writer probably agree with? [A Meney avays makes you happy B Work makes you miserable © The cher you ae, the beter your life D_ oor peopl can't be happy Le58 ‘Third, « 1998 survey conducted by the magazine Town & Country shows that the well-to-do tend to have better marriages, are happier with the friends they make, and find their jobs more interesting. I know we've been told different. But it just isn't true. Sorry! ‘These studies come as no surprise to me. Over the years ['ve said, quite frankly, I believe money can buy happiness. My comment is usually greeted with raised eyebrows and ingiitations there’s something morally ‘wrong with me. In ening) discussions I've tried to ‘explain that it’s not like you can go to the market and buy two kilos of happiness. I've iidintain€d money can make you happier because it represents convenience and time. By convenience I mean that more of the necessities in life are readily available to you. When I say you can buy time, mean time in two senses: First, because your health improves and you are likely to buy a few more good years of life. Second, every time I write @ check to the guy who ‘mows my lawn, I am literally buying his time to do something I don't want or don't have time to do myself. Of course, because Fm not rich, I have to put in my own time to earn the money I use to buy his. But if [were rich, Fd no longer have to use the limited amount of time 1 have on this planet to buy someone else’s time. Fd just write a check. How much money do you need to be rich? When he was alive, J. Paul Getty, one of the world’s richest men, said, "Ifyou can actually count your money then you are not really a rich man." Buta fellow I once worked with ‘was more realistic. He didn’t need billions of dollars. He just needed enough so he didn’t have to work (though he ‘was sure he still would), so he didn’t have to worry about bills, and so that every couple of years he could go down to the local car lot, pay cash for a new vehicle, and not have to think about the money he spent. How much do the experts say is enough? In a study conducted by Andrew Oswald ‘and Jonathan Gardner at the University of * Vocabulary Practice 412. Answer the following questions. 1 What do the highighted wordsphrases mean? 2 Finda least he ters inthe text wich mean ‘ich? * Text Analysis 43 Do the following tasks. 1 Undetine the parts ofthe text that helped you come up with your answers for Ex. 11¢. Compare with a partner, discovered that about LS million tax-free American dollars moved most people into the top 2% on the happiness scale. Their study also revealed that, at the low ‘end of the scale, each $75,000 moves people one notch up the scale. None of this isto say that you can only be happy if you're loaded. Lots of poor people are perfectly GOntént. But, if you are wealthy, it’s likely that you're roing to be even happier. ‘Nor does wealth guarantee happiness. The Warwick study is Feplete With’ examples of people who discovered they were miserable just laying about. One, Dawn Wilby, ‘won £4 million and was unhappy until she took a job for £12,000 a year. She hadn’t realised that you can't just lay there and expect happiness to come to the door. You've got to do something to get the benefit of your wealth. Other studies I read that pilrporteAl demonstrate the ‘opposite ~ that money leads to misery ~ were about well- paid executives who got huge bonuses but were still ‘unhappy. 1 @iseOuMHeD these because they concentrated only on office jealousies and dissatisfaction that Ose because the subjects wish they'd gotten more. There’s no mention of their home lives, whether they feel relief from the pressure of bills, etc. It is as though their jobs were the only things that mattered. These studies are so ‘arrow they are tantamount to proving marriage makes ‘man's life worse by focusing only on his relationship with his mother-in-law. ‘And, finally, years ago I read an article about lottery winners and one fellow who said the money made him ‘unhappy because people kept asking him for loans. That's not unhappiness; that’s annoyance. It's like complaining ‘about mosquitoes when you take a trip to Hawaii, You're not getting my sympathy, pal. But the last word on this comes from my friend, Cathy. When she heard 1 was writing this column, she said, "Anyone who thinks money can’t buy happiness is either a master of self- deception or just doesn't know where to shop.” 2. Who does the writer address when he says “Sony!” in line 317 3 Explain the underlined phases in your ov words 4.
