1、1. What is happiness? What are the personality factors in happy people and unhappy people?范：Well, I guess everybody got his/her certain definition about happiness and that definition vary from person to person. It depends on whats your expectation about life and what do you think about it. Do you th
2、ink so?王：Yes, I agree. Happiness means different things to different people. If you are optimistic about your life; youll see happiness anywhere and anytime. I think to me happiness would be plenty of money and plenty of time, which means I am free to do whatever I want.李: Sure they are important in
3、 life. But I would rather take prominent social status. Money and time cant guarantee you a real happiness sometimes. It is social status that brings you a real happiness to somewhere deep in your heart. 周：For me, happiness is closely tied to my studies, my work and my family. When I made great prog
4、ress in my studies, when I made contributions to the society through my work, when all the members in my family live in harmony, sharing good and sad times, I am happy. 范：Well, generally, my definition is a little bit different form you guys. To me, happiness means quite simple. Something likes gett
5、ing praise, winning a game, chatting with my friends. These all makes me feel happy. And as you all know that I got a nice guy, being with him is my biggest happiness.王：Yes, you are right. We think we are happy sometimes, not so happy at other times. We can even, at times, be euphoric! But what make
6、s happiness? What are the personality factors in happy people and unhappy people?李：I think, firstly, a happy person must be satisfied with themselves which means that they like themselves as they are, and theyre happy with what they have. Happy people may not like everything about their lives-they m
7、ay be a little bit overweight, or may not have the best job, or may not live in a big, fancy house, but they dont need to change those things to be happy.周：Yes, I quite agree with you! They think more about the things they are satisfied with, not the changes they want to make. This feeling of happin
8、ess comes from the inside, not from something outside. On the other hand, unhappy people are often dissatisfied with themselves. They feel that something must change so they can be happy.范：Yeah! They think if they lose some weight or get a better job or a nicer house they will be happy. They are alw
9、ays looking for something outside themselves to make them happy. But the problem is-they never find it! No matter what they get, theyre still dissatisfied and unhappy.王：OK, optimistic is also very important. An optimistic person often looks at the positive side of life, not the negative. Now, we all
10、 have problems, whether were happy or not. But when happy people have problems, they assume that things will improve. They dont worry a lot and think about all the bad things that can happen. Instead, they have a positive attitude.李：However, unhappy people are the opposite. They are not optimistic a
11、nd dont have a positive attitude. When they have a problem, they think about how bad everything is and assume that itll get worse. So they make themselves even more unhappy when they think about all the bad things that might happen.周：Good！Whats more, happy people should have good relationships with
12、other people. They try to have close, loving relationships with friends and family. Studies show that close, loving relationships are one of the most important factors in achieving happiness. So happy people dont spend all their time building their careers or trying to make money. 范： They also spend
13、 time building relationships with friends and family. On the other hand, unhappy people dont have as many close relationships. Right?王：Yes. They may have trouble making friends. Or they may spend all their time working and then find that theyre very lonely and unhappy. 李：But for whatever reason, the
14、y dont have close relationships and this makes them unhappy.周：I know. Well, if you want to be happier, dont assume that having a lot of money and position. There are other, more important factors. 2. Whats your point of view on womens role and position in the modern society? 范：Today our topic is wom
15、ens role and position in the modern society. Wang Kai, as the only boy in our group, I want to ask you a question. Whats your point of view on womens role and position in the modern society?王：Well, its really very hard to say. Im afraid if I say something wrong, you will hate me. But to be honest, I
16、 prefer women staying at home and taking care of children and husband, so men can work better outside.李：Ok, you are right, we all hate you now. Nowadays, women are playing all increasingly important part in society. In many countries, more and more women are not only acting as workers, farmers, scientists, they are also taking an active part in politics. We can say that almost all jobs which men can do are now clone perfectly by women.周：Yes，with the chan
