Wrong. John Silveira argues that happiness is up for grabs — if you can afford it. ‘The resus are in: money can buy happiness, bat it does't come cheap. Not only fat, the amount of happiness your money can buy can be measured. Iknow this Fun GOMERARVTO 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 welkoff are more ‘optimistic about their lives. Optimism is a major Factor in hhappiness. Second, medical evidence shows those with 10 ‘more money live longer, healthier lives than those with Jess. There are always the stories featuring the Igaed ‘uncle who had a heart attack while tving the high life, but oon average, the affluent live longer and healthier lives. [Not only that, but despite all the food they can buy with 15 their loot, the rch tend to be thinner than the poor = another sign of good health. In the Whitehall Survey, conducted at University College London, 17,000 civil servants were followed. All ate well educated and have the same access to health 20 care. Yet the clerks at the bottom of the income scale have triple the MORAY THE as thove at the top. AUS. study involving 300,000 men, called the Multiple Risk Intervention Factor, ciscovered every income class was healthice than the classes below them and mote sick than 25 the ones above. 6 Cathy fees that those who say happiness doesnt come from money A. jst don't want to adit Barer being honest with themselves. © firmly belo t's D_ aebitter about their poverty 7. Which ofthe folowing staternents would the writer ‘robably agree with? ‘A Money lays makes you happy B_ Work makes you miserable © Therkher you ae, the better your ie 1D Por people can't be happy —‘Third, 1998 survey conducted by the magazine Town & Country shows that the well-to-do tend to have better marriages, are happier with the fiends 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 Eve said, quite frankly, I believe money ean buy happiness. My comment is usually greeted with raised csebrows and inginatioRS there's something. morally ‘wrong with me. In ensiting discussions I've tried to cxplain that its not like you can go to the market and buy two kilos of happiness. I've mintalited! money can make ‘you happier hecause it represents convenience and time. Byconvenience I mean that more ofthe necessities in life are readily available to you. When I say you can buy time, 1 mean time in two senses: First, because your health Jmproves and you are likely to buy a few more good years offlife. Second, everytime I write a check to the guy who mows my lawn, 1 am literally buying his time to do something I don't want or don't have time to do myself Of cours, because I'm not rich, I have to putin my own time toearn the moncy use to buy his. Bu if Lwere rich, 1d no longer have to use the limited amount of time 1 have on this planet to buy someone else's time. Td 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, ssi, "If you can aetually count your money then you are not really @ rich man But a 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, s0 he didn’t have to worry about fills, and so that every couple of years he could go down to the local car lot, pay cash for a new vehicle, and not ave to think about the money he spent.

Their study also revealed that, at the low 70 end of the scale, each $75,000 meves peeple one notch up the sale. None ofthis isto say that you ean ony be happy if you're loaded. Lots of poor people are perfectly Gantt: But, if you are wealthy, it's likely that you're ‘going to be even happier. 15 [Nor does wealth guarantee happiness, The Warwick study is replete with examples of people who discovered they were miserable just laying about. One, Dawn Willy, ‘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 tothe door. Youve got to do something to get the benefit of your wealth. ther studies tread that pM demonstrate the ‘opposite — that money ead to misery - were about well: paid executives who got huge bonuses but were still 85 unhappy.

These studies ate_so narrow they are tantamount to proving marriage makes # rman’ life worse by focusing only on his relationship with his mother-in-law ‘And, finally, years ago I read an article about lottery 95 winners and one fellow who ssid the money made him unkappy because people kept asking him for loans, That's not unhappiness; that’s annoyance.

Before you read, discuss the following, 11 Thewter argues that we must try to save the languages that ae threatened with extinction. What reasons do you think he es for this belie? Think about saute history entity . i 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 Mbv@rsitfis the key to our survival. In 1995, linguist Bruce Connell, was doing some field ‘work in Cameroon. He found a language called Kasabe, which no westerner had studied before. It had just one speaker left,a man called Bogon. Connell hal no time on that visit, so he decided to return to Cameroon a year later. He arrived in the early winter, only to Jearn that ‘Bogon had died on November 5. i ‘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 in the world. OF these, about half are going to die out during the next century. E ‘Many things can kill a language, from natural disasters 10 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 away, 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 to do so in an idiosyncratic manner, resulting in “family dialects". Within & generation, healthy bilingualism within a family can slip into self conscious semilingualism, and {HEE into monolingualism. 0 38 ‘Many different skills and characteristics enable a species to survive in different environments, and the need to 2 The following are mentioned inthe article.

BRESPSUBHEM within a language is most of ‘community’ histor, a large pat of its cultural identity, and a wealth of knowledge which the rest of the world 5 Not everyone appreciates these things. Some people ‘accept the Babel myth: that the multiplicity of the world’s languages isa curse rather than a blessing, Ifonly we had just one language in the world we would all be better off World peace would be established. E In fact, a dying language will cause conflict rather than eliminate it, albeit not between countries but rather Within the individuals who have abandoned their ancestors’ language. The first generation is, typically, not so concerned, as 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 fand 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. Pr Can we save a few thousand languages, just like that? ‘Yes, though it would not be easy. To save a language you must get linguists into the fleld, support the community with language teachers, publish grammars and dictionaries - and all over & 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. Iti as fit has never been,However, all the big trouble spots of the world in recent decades have been monolingual countries ~ Cambodia, Vietnam, Rwanda, Burundi, Yugodavia, 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 ifa poople stay put, their language may still die as a result of cultural assimilation. At firs, there is pressure on. the people to speak the dominant language. Then there is 4 period of bilingualism. Finally, bilingualism starts to decine, with the old language ISBM|to the new. This leads to the third stage, in which the younger generation finds its old language less and less relevant, (On November 4, Kasabe existed as one of the world’s Fanguages; on Noverber 6, it did not. The event might hhave caused a str in Bogon's vllege. If you are the lst speaker of a language, you are often considered special in your community. But outside the village, who knew or ‘mourned the passing of what he SERGE? 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 a 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, There are 51 languages. with only one speaker left - 28 in Australia alone. There are more than 3,000 with fewer than 10,000 speakers, and f staggering 5,000 languages with fewer than 100,000 speakers. Ninety-six per cent of the work's languages are spoken by only 4% of its people. No wonder so many are in danger of dying, Sometimes what we learn from a language is SiGe Practical, as when we discover new medical treatments from the folk medicine of an indigenous people. Sometimes it is intellectual, as when the links between Fanguages tellus something about the movements of early ivilisations. And of course, very often it is linguistic: we learn something new about language ist the behaviour that makes us truly human, ‘The common reaction among these peopl is: “If only my srandparents’ generation had.” Indeed, if » SHIGE «effort ha been devoted to language preservation, have lft the option open for future generations to make their own choice. Is language death such a disaster? As long as a few hundred or even a couple of thousand languages survive, you might say, that is sufficient. It is not. We should care ‘about dying languages for the sume reason that we care when a species of animal or plant dies. It reduces the diversity of our planet. In the case of language, we are talking about intellectual and cultural diversity, not biological diversity, but the isues are the same. * Text Analysis 11 Underline the parts of the article which helped you add the missing paragraphs, then compare with a partner. 412.
