Unit1HappinessPart 1Teacher: Hi, good morning. Did you hear about the lottery winner last night? The man wonwhat? Two million dollars?Student: No, three.Teacher: Three million dollars? Three million. Thats a lot of money isnt it? Do you think that three million dollars would make you happy? Im asking you this because when you ask people what they need to be happy, many people will answer more money! We assume that money will make us happier. But is this true? Will winning the lottery help you achieve happiness?Today were going to look at the idea of happiness, at the psychology of happiness-what makes some people happier than others. Well look at three personality factors that we find in happy people. To find out about these personality factors, psychologists talked to hundreds of people. Now, first, they asked the people how happy they felt-you know, from very happy to not happy at all. Then they asked some more questions, They wanted to find out about peoples personalities, such as their attitudes about life, and so on. They looked at the differences between happy people and unhappy people. They found three factors that are very important for achieving happiness. Solets look at those factors now.The first personality factor is that happy people aresatisfied with themselves. This 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 may 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. They think more about the things they are satisfied with, not the changes they want to make. This feeling of happiness comes from the inside, not from something outside.Part 2Teacher: Sohappy people feel satisfied with themselves. On the other hand, unhappy people are often dissatisfied with themselves. They.uh.feel that something must change so they can be happy. They think if they lose some weight or get a better job or a nicer house they will be happy. They are always 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.The second personality factor is that happy people are optimistic-they look at the positive side of life, not the negative. Now, we all 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. However, unhappy people are the opposite. They are not optimistic and 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.Finally, the third personality factor is that happy people have good relationships with 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. They also spend time building relationships with friends and family. Now, on the other hand, unhappy people dont have as many close relationships. They may have trouble making friends. Or they may spend all their time working and then find that theyre very lonely and unhappy. But for whatever reason, they dont have close relationships and this makes them unhappy.Sowhat does this tell us? Well, if you want to be happier, dont assume that winning the lottery will help. There are other, more important factors for achieving happiness. Now, lets take a break, and when we come back well talk more about the factors that make a person happy1.Whatdidpsychologistswanttofindout ?a.Whichpeoplearehappyb.Whatmakespeoplehappyc.Howpeopledefinehappiness2.Howdohappypeoplefeelabouttheirlives?a.Theylikeeverything.b.Theywanttochange. c.Theyaresatisfied.3.Whyarehappypeopleoptimistic?a.Theyhavefewproblems.b.Theydontworrymuch.c.Theyhavenegativeattitudes.4.Whatfactorismostimportantforhappiness?a.Goodrelationshipsb.Asuccessfulcareerc.Alotofmoney5.Describehowpsychologistslearnedwhatmakespeoplehappy.Psychologistsaskedhundredsofpeoplehowhappytheyare.Thentheyaskedquestionstofindoutabouttheirpersonalities.Theylookedatthedifferencesbetweenhappypeopleandunhappypeople.6.Whatthreepersonalityfactorsdohappypeoplehave?Happypeoplearesatisfiedwiththemselves.Theyarealsooptimisticabouttheirproblems.Inaddition,theyhavegoodrelationshipswiththeirfriendsandfamily.
