2、. The connection is complex. In fact, very rich people rate substantially higher in satisfaction with life than very poor people do, even within wealthy nations, he says. There is overwhelming evidence that money buys happiness, said economist Andrew Oswald of University of Warwick in England. The m
3、ain debate, he said, is how strong the effect is. Oswald recently reported a study of Britons who won between 2,000 and 250,000 in a lottery (彩票拍奖). As a group, they showed a boost in happiness averaging a bit more than one point on a 36-point scale when surveyed two years after their win, compared
4、to their levels two years before they won. Daniel Kahnman, a Nobel-Prize winner and Princeton economist, and colleagues, recently declared that the notion that making a lot of money will produce good overall mood is mostly illusory. They noted that in one study, members of the high-income group were
5、 almost twice as likely to call themselves very happy as people from households with incomes below 20,000. But other studies, rather than asking for a summary estimate of happiness, follow people through the day and repeatedly record their feeling. These studies show less effect of income on happine
6、ss. Kahneman and colleagues said. There is still another twist to the money-happiness story. Even though people who make150,000 are considerably happier than those who make 40,000, Its not clear why, says psychologist Richard E. Lucas of Michigan State University. Researchers conclude that any effec
7、t of money on happiness is smaller than most daydreamers assume. People exaggerate how much happiness is bought by an extra few thousand, Oswald said. The quality of relationships has a far bigger effect than quite large rises in salary. Its much better advice, if youre looking for happiness in life

9、e one of Britains most successful exports and among the worlds most popular TV shows, ranking alongside the World Cup Final and the Olympic Games opening ceremony in terms of audience. But, in Britain, beauty competitions are unfashionable. To most people, beauty contests seem as out-dated as bowing
10、. Nicolas Barker, a lawyer in London, said that As much as I think its fine for women to do it. I dont think its interesting and in fact. I think theyre irrelevant to today. Last year, Miss World was broadcast to 142 countries, but it wasnt even shown in this country where it started in 1951. It was
11、nt always this way in Britain. Once, beauty queens dated footballers, traveled the world and were guaranteed fame, fortune and fun. Now, they open new supermarkets, are sponsored by dry-cleaning companies and, if theyre lucky, they get free clothes from supermarkets. When Francesca Marchant was crow
12、ned Miss Sussex in 1969, it was something to be extremely proud of. I came from a small town, and all my friends were green with envy when they found out Id won. My boyfriends at the time thought it was terrific and boasted to everyone that he was going out with a beauty queen. But the good times co
13、uldnt last. The feminist movement gathered momentum. Some women were determined to bring an end to these cattle shows. Nowadays, saying that you were a beauty queen just doesnt sound good. Miss World organizers claim that contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance.
14、 But, Jacqueline Gold, Englands representative at this years contest, was not chosen because of her academic record. The Miss World Website states that she left school having gained many computer qualifications, and certificates in First Aid and Life Saving, meaning, not much of an education. The on
15、ly time the contests attract attraction now is because of the protesters. At the 1999 Miss World in Britain, around 60 demonstrators hurled flour bombs and fought with the police. They denounced the beauty contest as a sexist cattle market. They waved banners saying fat girls are cool and womens bod
