However, in 1974, research by economist Richard Easterlin found otherwise. He discovered that while individuals with higher incomes were more likely to be happy, this did not hold at a national level. In the United States, for example, average income per person rose steadily between 1946 and 1970, but reported happiness levels showed no positive long-term trend.; in fact, they declined between 1060 and 1970. These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term “Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-term happiness.Having access to additional income seems to only provide a temporary growth in happiness. Since a certain minimum income is needed fbr basic necessities, it's possible that the happiness boost from extra cash isn't that great once you rise above the poverty line. This would explain Easterling findings in the United States and other developed countries. He argued that life satisfaction does rise with average incomes but only in the short term.Recent research has challenged the Eastern!in paradox, however. In 2013, Ruut Veenhoven and Floris Vergunst conducted a study using statistics from the World Database of Happiness. Their analysis revealed that economic growth has a positive impact on happiness. Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold at which more money ceases to contribute to your happiness: "If there is a satiationpoint, we are yet to reach it." The study found that every extra dollar you earn makes you happier. With a much debate about the relationship between money and happiness, it's clear that happiness itself is a complex concept and depends on many factors.According to psychologists Selin Kesebir and Shigehiro Oishi, happiness also depends on how your income compares to the people around you. They argue that a country's economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is equally distributed. In countries with high income inequalitywhere the rich get richer and the poor get poorer-average happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic prosperity. This suggests that governments should consider carrying out policies to ensure more equal distribution of wealth. The happier people are, the more productive they are likely to become, thus leading to improved economic outcomes at the individual and national levels.There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the notion that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isn't enough to make us happy. The effect of income inequality on happiness shows that happiness is a social responsibility. We need to remember the positive effects of generosity and building social connections. Perhaps our focus should be less on how much money we have, and more on how we use it.53. According to the passage, Easterlin Paradox refers to.A. the fact that the more money, the happier people will feelB. the suggestion that money should be given the top priorityC. the question how economic outcomes are distributed nationwideD. the opinion that higher income doesn't necessarily generate happiness54.

Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize? Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can't achieve the unachievable? 57Shame and fear are often the hidden drives of perfection. We believe that if we fashion a perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we'll win respect and approval.For the majority of us, the addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.58 We fear that showing shortcomings will expose us to the accusation that we're weak. We stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it's obvious that the emperor has no clothes.Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We're constantly evaluating ourselves in order to be better. There's nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way. 59 We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too serious. Sadly, the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves are taken away from us.A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn't mean that we are a failure. Without failures, we'll never learn from our mistakes; we'll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have made countless mistakes. 60 Being human, perfection is impossible. By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid of the shame that drives perfectionism.A. By definition, perfection is the state of mind which drives us to move forwards.B. However, if we can't relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners of our perfectionism.C. To some extent, your answers to these questions reveal your personalities as well as your attitude towards life. D. We often display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty.E. The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.F. Understanding what drives perfection is the first step toward releasing this self-created obstacle that keeps us stuck.IV.
