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.

Before you read, discuss the following. 11 The writer argues that we must try to save the languages that are threatened with extinction. What reasons do you think he gives for tis bebe? Think about culture ‘history s iderity Vanishing Voices ‘The world’s languages are disappearing at an unprecedented rate, but does it matter as long as people can communicate? David Crystal explains why linguistic diversity the key to our survival. In 1998, linguist Bruce Connell, was doing some field ‘work in Cameroon. He found a language called Kasebe, which no westerner had studied before. It had just one speaker lft, 2 man called Bogon. Connell had no time on that vist, so he decided to return to Cameroon a year leter. He arrived in the early winter, only to learn that Bogon hed died on November 5 ‘There is nothing unusual about Bogon’s story. Communities have come and gone throughout history, taking their languages with them. But, judged by the standards of the past, what is happening today is extraordinary. There are now about 6,000 languages the world. Of these, about half are going to die out during the next century. R ‘Many things can killa language, from natural disasters t0 cultural assimilation and genocide, On July 17 1998, an earthquake in Papua New Guinea, killed more than 2,200 people and displaced a further 10,000: several villages were destroyed. AS the survivors have moved ‘vay, will these communities (and thus their languages) survive the trauma of displacement? B This is often accompanied by a feeling of shame about using the old language. Those families that do continue to use it tend 10 do so in an idiosyncratic manner, resulting in “family dialects". Within a generation, healthy bilingualism within a family can slip into self- conscious semilingualism, and {HEHE into monolingualism. ‘Many different skills and characteristics enable a species, to survive in different environments, and the need to 2. The following are mentioned in th article, How ight they be related to the death ofa language? natural disasters * displacement + other dominant languages . Some paragraphs have been removed from the text. Add them from the paragraphs given on the ‘opposite page (A-G). There is one paragraph you do not need to use ‘maintain linguistic diversity stands on the shoulders of this argument. EiiG@pSUIaHE within a language is most of a community's history, a large part of its cultural identity, and a wealth of knowledge which the rest of the world can access. 5 Not everyone appreciates these things. Some people ‘accept the Babel myth: that the multiplicity ofthe worlds languages is a curse rather than a blessing. If only we had just one language in the world we would all be better off ‘World peace would be established fe In fact, a dying language will cause conflict rather than climinate it, albeit not between countries but rather within the individuals who have abandoned their ancestors’ language. The first generation is, typically, not so concerned, ax its members are still struggling to establish their new social position and master their new language. It is their children, secure in the new language and in a much better socio-economic position, with battles over land claims and civil rights behind them, who begin to reflect on (and feel unbearable guilt over) the heritage they have lost. 7 Can we save a few thousand languages, just like that? Yes, though it would not be easy. To save @ language you must get linguists into the field, support the community with language teachers, publish grammars and dictionaries - and all over a period of Several years. But these difficulties do not mean we can ignore the death of languages. Regretting the loss in the future would be pointless. When a spoken language dies, it leaves no archaeology. It iss fit has never been. However, all the big trouble spots of the world in recent decades have been monolingual countries ~ Cambodia, Vietnam, Rwanda, Burundi, Yugoslavia, Northern Ireland, And all big monolingual countries have had their civil wars If people want to fight each other, it takes more than a common language to stop them, Even if a people stay put, their language may still die as result of cultural assimilation. At frst, there i pressure on the people to speak the dominant language. Then there is 2 period of bilingualism. Finally, bilingualism starts to decline, with the old language RANE 0 the new. This leads to the third stag, in which the younger generation finds its old language less and less relevant ‘On November 4, Kasabe existed as one of the world’s languages; on November 6, it did not. The event might have caused a stir in Bogon’s village. If you are the last speaker ofa language, you are often considered special in your community. But outside the village, who knew or ‘mourned the passing of what he SSSR? Breton, in north-east France, is a classic example of @ language reducing dramatically in numbers. At the beginning of the 20th century it was spoken by a million people; it is now down to less than @ quarter of that. Breton can be saved if enough effort is made - the kind of effort that has already helped Welsh to recover from a dramatic decline - otherwise it could be gone in 50 years. ‘The full statistics are frightening.

It also runs ‘out-of-hours schemes for primary and secondary schools in the Southwark educational action zone, as well as workshops for FAIRE] students as part of Excellence in Cities. The chief curator admits that this new approach is really nothing more than common sense. However, as he shows ‘me round, itis immediately obvious ~ despite the gallery stil ]ooking more like a building site than a visitor attraction just how REM the changes really are Whatever the case may be for you personally, these questions concerning the ways people best learn are becoming increasingly more important to museums and galleries. Especially as they try to find new ways of engaging with their visitors and of attracting as wide an audience as possible. ‘The national curriculum now places much greater emphasis (on the use of primary sources in teaching, and, instead of arranging one museum visit every five years or so, most schools will organise at least one outside visit per class per term. In turn, museums and galleries are busting a gut to establish themselves as first-rate educational facilities that ‘complement and add to classroom activities. Art galleries were, if anything, worse; driven by the belief that art should be allowed to speak for itself, many exhibits had nothing beyond the title and the name of the artist by way of explanation. All things considered, it was hard to avoid the impression that Britain's publicly owned collections were being curated by one bunch of art historians for the benefit of another. “The way galleries used to work,” says Christopher Wilk, chief curator of the British Galleries, “is that a curator, who knew the objects, would choose the most interesting to put, on show and a designer would be brought in to arrange how they should be displayed. It was only at the end of the process, almost as an afterthought, that the education department would be asked to help with the interpretation of the objects.” * Text Analysis 13 @ Underline the parts of the text which helped you do the exercise, then compare with a partner.
