is happiness? In many industrialized countries, it is often equated with money. But the small Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan has been trying a different idea. In 1972, concerned about the problems afflicting other developing countries 1____________, Bhutan’s leader, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, decided to make his nation’s priority its GNH, or Gross National Happiness. Bhutan, the King said, needed to ensure that prosperity was shared across society and that it was balanced against preserving cultural traditions, protecting the environment and maintaining a responsive government. The King instituted policies 2____________. Now, Bhutan’s example is serving as a catalyst for broader discussions of national well-being. A growing number of economics, social scientists, corporate leaders and bureaucrats around the world are trying to develop systems 3 __________ but also access to health care, time with family, conservation of natural resources and other non-economic factors. The goal is partly to obtain a broader definition of the world happiness. “We have to think of human well-being in broader terms,” said Bhutan’s Home Minister. “Material well-being is only one component. That doesn’t ensure that you’re at peace with your environment 4 ____________. In the early stages of a climb out of poverty, for a household or a country, incomes and contentment grow together. But various studies show that beyond certain points, 5 ___________, happiness does not keep up. And some countries, studies found, were happier than they should be. One study found that Latin American countries, for example, registered far more subjective happiness than their economic status would suggest. But researches have had great difficulty in developing measuring techniques 6 ____________. And some experts question whether national well-being can really be defined. Just the act of trying to quantify happiness could destroy it, said one expert. “The most important things in life are not prone to measurement – like love. A. aimed at accomplishing these goals B. that can capture this broader sense of well-being C. and in harmony with each other D. whose focus was only on economic growth E. but there is not necessarily a relationship between wealth and happiness F. as annual income passes certain levels G. that measure not just the flow of money 1 2 3 4 5 6 помогите пожалуйста!!!! очень срочно нужно

ed in England I thought I knew English. After I’d been here an hour I realized that I did not understand one word. In the first week I picked up a tolerable working knowledge of the language and the next seven years convinced me gradually but thoroughly that I 1 _______________________, let alone perfectly. This is sad. My only consolation being that nobody speaks English perfectly. Remember that those five hundred words an average Englishman uses are 2 _______________________. You may learn another five hundred and another five thousand and yet another fifty thousand and still you may come across a further fifty thousand 3 _______________________. If you live here long enough you will find out to your greatest amazement that the adjective nice is not the only adjective the language possesses, in spite of the fact that 4 _______________________. You can say that the weather is nice, a restaurant is nice, Mr. Soandso is nice, Mrs. Soandso’s clothes are nice, you had a nice time, 5 _______________________. Then you have to decide on your accent. The easiest way to give the impression of having a good accent or no foreign accent at all is to hold an unlit pipe in your mouth, to mutter between your teeth and finish all your sentences with the question: “isn’t it?” People will not understand much, but they are accustomed to that and they will get a 6 _______________________.

B. most excellent impression

C. you have never heard of before, and nobody else either

D. in the first three years you do not need to learn or use any other adjectives

E. would never know it really well F. far from being the whole vocabulary of the language

Madam Ramotswe raised her tea cup to her lips and looked over the brim. At the edge of the car park, immediately in front of the cafe, a small market had been set up, with traders' stalls and trays of colourful goods. She watched as a man attempted to persuade a customer to buy a pair of sunglasses. The woman tried on several pairs, but was not satisfied and moved on to the next stall. There she pointed to a small piece of silver jewellery, a bangle, and the trader, a short man wearing a wide-brimmed felt hat, passed it across to her to try on. Madam Ramotswe watched as the woman held out her wrist to be admired by the trader who nodded encouragement. But the woman seemed not to agree with his verdict, and handed the bangle back, pointing to another item at the back of the stall. And at that moment, while the trader turned round to stretch for whatever it was she had singled out, the woman quickly slipped another bangle into the pocket of the jacket she was wearing.

Madam Ramotswe gasped. This time she could not sit back and allow a crime to be committed before her very eyes. If people did nothing, then no wonder that things were getting worse. So she stood up, and began to walk firmly towards the stall where the woman had now engaged the trader in earnest discussion about the merits of the merchandise which he was showing her.

"Excuse me, madam"

The voice came from behind her, and madam Ramotswe turned round to see who had addressed her. It was the waitress, a young woman whom madam Ramotswe had not seen at the cafe before.

"Yes, madam, what is it?"

The waitress pointed an accusing finger at her. "You cannot run away like that," she said. "I saw you. You're trying to go away without paying the bill. I saw you."

For a moment madam Ramotswe was unable to speak. The accusation was a terrible one, and so unwarranted. Of course she had not been trying to get away without paying the bill - she would never do such a thing: all she was doing was trying to stop a crime being committed before her eyes.

She recovered sufficiently to reply. "I am not trying to go away," she said. "I am just trying to stop that person over there from stealing from that man. Then I would have come back to pay."

The waitress smiled knowingly. "They all find some excuse," she said. "Every day there are some people like you. They come and eat our food and then they run away and hide. You people are all the same."

Madam Ramotswa looked over toward the stall. The woman had begun to walk away, presumably with the bangle still firmly in her pocket. It would now be too late to do anything about it, and all because of this silly young woman who had misunderstood what she was doing.

She went back to the table and sat down. "Bring me the bill," she said. "I will pay it straightaway."

The waitress stared at her. "I will bring you the bill," she said, "but I shall have to add something for myself. I will have to add this if you do not want me to call the police and tell them about how you tried to run away."

As the waitress went off to fetch the bill, madam Ramotswe glanced around her to see if people at the neighbouring tables had witnessed the scene. At the table next to hers, a woman sat with her two children, who were sipping with great pleasure at large milkshakes. The woman smiled at madam Ramotswe, and turned her attention back to the children. She had not seen anything, thought madam Ramotswe, but then the woman leaned across the table and addressed a remark to her.

"Bad luck, madam," she said. "They are too quick in this place. It is easier to run away at the hotels."
