While residents of wealthy nations tend to have greater life satisfaction, new research shows that those living in poorer nations report having greater meaning in life.
These findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological science, suggest that meaning in life may be higher in poorer nations as a result of greater religiosity (笃信宗教). As countries become richer, religion becomes less central to people’s lives and they lose a sense of meaning in life.
“Thus far, the wealth of nations has been almost always associated with longevity, health, happiness or life satisfaction,” explains psychological scientist Shigehiro Oishi of the University of Virginia. “Given that meaning in life is an important aspect of overall well-being, we wanted to look more carefully at differential patterns, correlates (相关物), and predictors for meaning in life.”
Oishi and colleague Ed Diener of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign investigated life satisfaction, meaning, and well-being by examining data from the 2007 Gallup World Poll, a large-scale survey of over 140,000 participants from 132 countries. In addition to answering a basic life satisfaction question, participants were asked: “Do you feel your life has an important purpose or meaning?” and “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”
The data revealed some unexpected trends:
“Among Americans, those who are high in life satisfaction are also high in meaning in life,” says Oishi. “But when we looked at the societal level of analysis, we found a completely different pattern of the association between meaning in life and life satisfaction.”
When looking across many countries, Oishi and Diener found that people in wealthier nations were more educated, had fewer children, and expressed more individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries – all factors that were associated with higher life satisfaction but a significantly lower sense of meaning in life.”
The data suggest that religiosity may play an important role: Residents of wealthier nations, where religiosity is lower, reported less meaning in life and had higher suicide rates than poorer countries.
According to the researchers, religion may provide meaning to life to the extent that it helps people to overcome personal difficulty and cope with the struggles of working to survive in poor economic conditions:
“Religion gives a system that connects daily experiences with the coherent whole (连贯的整体) and a general structure to one’s life … and plays a critical role in constructing meaning out of extreme hardship,” the researchers write.
Oishi and Diener hope to reproduce these findings using more comprehensive measures of meaning and religiosity, and are interested in following countries over time to track whether economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.
【小题1】Which of the following questions couldn’t the participants have answered?

A．Does your life have a purpose or meaning?

B．Do you have relatives living abroad?

C．Are you satisfied with your everyday life?

D．Is religion involved in your daily life?

【小题2】Which of the following statements is true?

A．Those who have higher life satisfaction usually have lower sense of meaning in life.

B．People in wealthier nations were more educated, have fewer children and express less individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries.

C．Religion may provide meaning to life in that people can get strong support from it in face of hardship.

D．Wealthy people are more likely to commit suicide than poor people.

【小题3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．The poorer a country is, the more religious its people are.

B．Economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.

C．If you want to find meaning in life, you must practice a religion.

Weeks ago, one of my classmate brought in a very large suitcase and placed it under his bed. Though we lived on the ground floor, his suitcase soon got wet. He took it out and after drying it, he put it on his desk. My desk happened to being opposite his. It was such the large suitcase that it not only occupied the whole of his desk but also half of my as well. I was so annoyed that I pushed it angry forward. I pushed a bit of too hard and the suitcase fell his desk. Seeing this, he flies into a temper and shouted at me. Then we had a bitter quarrel. Some days later, I regretted having done that. Lived in a room, we should learn to get on well with one another.

   So let’s say that you’re sitting at a restaurant and when your food arrives, you take one bite and decide that something is preventing you from taking a second bite. No matter what the reason is, this dish is going back to the kitchen, and now it’s up to you to find a way to send it back politely.

First of all, the single most important thing to do when you’re sending something back is to do it immediately. If you eat half the dish before sending it back, the server and kitchen will believe that you really don’t need to send it back.

If a dish is too salty that it cannot be eaten, you should first let the server know what the situation is, and they’ll take it back to the kitchen and bring you a new one. Remember that it is not the server’s fault, so don’t take it out on them. Also, don’t be afraid that they’ll get angry at you, or someone will spit (吐) in your food. It’s their job to make sure that you’re satisfied, and if the kitchen clearly makes a mistake the server will be frustrated with the kitchen, not with the diner who has been served an inedible meal. A new dish will be cooked, and nobody’s going to spit in it.

There is, however, one example when you are sending back a dish which will really annoy both the server and the kitchen. If you order a pasta dish that contains pancetta but then send it back to the kitchen because you’re a vegetarian (素食者) and don’t know what pancetta is, and then congratulations because you’re one of the most unbearable types of customers a restaurant can have. A perfectly good plate of food is just thrown out because you don’t ask what pancetta is before ordering.

So the bottom line: Use common sense if you think that you need to send your dish back. If the kitchen do something wrong, then they’re on the hook for a new plate of food. If you do something wrong, then hopefully you’ve learned a lesson.

【小题1】When the diners find something wrong with the dishes they ordered, they should __________ .

A．send them back immediately	B．eat half the dishes before sending them back
C．go back to the kitchen themselves	D．wait until the cook apologizes to them

【小题2】The underlined word “inedible” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “ __________”.

A．unbearable	B．unpleasant
C．tasteless	D．uneatable

【小题3】What will happen when you are sending back a dish owing to your own mistake?

A．You’ll be fined by the restaurant.

B．Your request will be refused immediately.

C．You’ll be forced to leave the restaurant.

D．Your food will be thrown out of the restaurant.

【小题4】The passage is intended to __________.

A．guide diners how to enjoy a good meal in a restaurant

B．introduce the best way to send back food in a restaurant

C．introduce the bottom line people should have in a restaurant

D．inform the diners of the most important things to do in a restaurant

Several days before, I was out with my friends at a local fast food restaurant. The food we ate was good but we had fun together. Before we left for the restaurant, we found that it also sold ice cream. We got exciting because we hadn’t eaten ice cream for a long time. One of my friend decided to buy all of us ice cream and in the restaurant, they all screamed (尖叫) with joy! Then the man came in with his son, who wanted to buy ice cream either. In the end, he decides to pay for our ice cream. We moved by such an act of kindness on a hot day.
