請依下文回答第42 題至46 ：
I feel that if there is, in this world, one person whom we can touch totally and unabashedly, we will never die of loneliness. One person! I don’t say fifty, a hundred, a thousand. It does not matter who that person is, woman to woman, man to man, someone you can go to and who will listen.
The problem is: although most of us can select the joy of intimacy, many people choose not to. Some believe that intimate relationships are risky. They believe that intimacy will hurt, and that it is going to make the greatest demands on you, bring out your deepest feelings, and make you feel miserable sometimes. Moreover, it seems that our modern society does not reinforce intimacy. One out of every four marriages ends in divorce. As George Leonard says, “we can orbit the earth, we can touch the moon, but this society has not devised a way for two people to live together in harmony for seven straight days without wanting to strangle each other.” It is said that intimacy is out of date, but I would like to assert that intimacy is absolutely essential or we are all going to go mad. Go ahead and live in isolation, if you can. I believe that you can judge your level of mental health to the degree that you can form meaningful and lasting relationships.

      我覺得假如有一個人，在這個世界裡，我們可以完全毫無隱藏地感動他，我們就絕對不會死的孤獨。一個人！我不是說50位、100位、1000位。那個人是男是女不重要，只要是你可以接近、聆聽你的人。
困難的是：雖然大部分的人能夠選擇親密關係的快樂，但是許多人卻不願意選擇。有些人相信親密關係是危險的。他們相信親密關係會得到傷害、它會對你有極大的需求、引出你最深層的情感。更且，我們現今的社會看起來並沒有加強親密關係。每四件婚姻就有一件是以離婚結束。就像George Leonard說的一樣：我們能夠環繞地球，我們能夠登陸月球，但是這個社會並沒有設計出一個方式能讓二個人在一起和諧的生活七天而不想互相勒斃對方。有人說親密關係是過時的，但是我願意主張親密關係是絕對重要的，否則我們都會發瘋。如果你能孤立，那就請便吧。我相信你能判斷你的心理健康到達一個程度 - 你能夠建構有意義而且有長久關係的一個程度。

請依下文回答第 47 題至第 50 題：
        Nigerians are the happiest people in the world. The World Values Survey found that almost 70 percent of Nigerians consider themselves very happy. Money certainly is not the reason that made Nigerians happy. Having tons of money is only a limited factor in happiness. __47__ Bill Gates, for example, is happy not because of his immense wealth but because everybody wants to be his friend.
        Money can certainly buy happiness, but its impact seems to drop once you can afford basic necessities. Of course, inflation makes the problem worse. __48__ Even when money does exert an influence, it is not the size of your paycheck that matters. __49__ The New York cabbie who has an efficient car may seem happy, but not as happy as the Ethiopian villager who has a more efficient cow than his/her neighbors. When you are living amid wealth and luxury, your desires tend to be greater. __50__ It should not be surprising, then, that Nigeria, Mexico, Venezuela and El Salvador rank the highest in happiness among the 65-plus countries surveyed.

      奈及利亞人是世界上最快樂的人。世界價值調查(The World Values Survey)發現幾乎有70%的奈及利亞人認為他們是非常地快樂。金錢當然不是使得奈及利亞人快樂的原因。擁有數以噸計的金錢僅只是快樂的因素之一。_ 47_  以Bill Gates為例，他的快樂不是由於他無數的財富，而是每一個人都想要成為他的朋友。
金錢當然可以買到快樂，但是一旦你可以自足基本的需求，它(金錢)的影響看起來是在下降。當然，通貨膨脹使得問題更糟糕。_ 48_ 即使當金錢沒有發揮影響，它(快樂)並不是你薪水多少的問題。_ 49_ 紐約的計程車司機有一部好車也許看起來快樂，但是不會比依索披亞的村民有一頭比他或她的鄰居還要好的母牛來的快樂。當你生活在財富和奢華中，你的欲望會傾向更多。_ 50_ 不要驚訝，奈及利亞、墨西哥、委瑞內拉和薩爾瓦多是在65個以上被調查的國家中排名最高的。
