敬请各位高手帮我翻译成汉语，谢谢Money doesn’t buy happiness, and now there is a study that proves it. Australian researchers found that people in well-off Sydney are among the most miserable in the country, while these in some of the poorest areas are much more satisfied with their lives. “Only at very, very high levels does money actually have some impact to act as a buffer,” said Deakin University researcher Liz Eckerman. “Money doesn‘t actually buy happiness and that’s what was shown very clearly for the nearly 23,000 people we’ve interviewed so far,” she told ABC radio. The findings, collected since 2001, show that while there are no extremes of well-being in Australia, the happiest areas have lower population density, more people aged 55 or over, more women, more married people and less income inequality. The survey assessed a person’s satisfaction with their standard of living, health, relationship, life, achievement, safety, community connection and future security. Robert Commins, a professor of psychology at Deakin University who compiled the survey’s scorecard, put the difference down to the higher cost of housing and higher population density in cities. “People in these rural areas often have the advantage of additional disposable income since the cost of living, particularly housing, tends to be reduced outside the cities, he told the Australian newspaper.Of the 150 national electorates surveyed, one of the nation’s poorest areas, Wide Bay in rural Queensland, was among the happiest.

Psychologists have long been in disagreement as to whether competition is a learned or a genetic component of human behavior.Whatever it is，you cannot but recognize the effect competition is exerting in academics and many other areas of contemporary life. Psychologically speaking，competition has been seen as an inevitable consequence of human drives.According to Sigmund Freud，humans are born screaming for attention and full of organic drives for fulfillment in various areas.Initially，we compete for the attention of our parents.Thereafter，we are at the mercy of a battle between our base impulses for self-fulfillment and social and cultural norms which prohibit pure indulgence. Current work in anthropology （人类学） has suggested，however，that this view of the role of competition in human behavior may be incorrect.Thomas Hobbes，one of the great philosophers of the seventeenth century，is perhaps best remembered for his characterization of the "natural world，" that is，the world before the imposition of the will of humanity，as being "nasty，brutish，and short." This image of the pre-rational world is still widely held，reinforced by Charles Darwin's highly influential work，The Origin of Species，which established the doctrine of natural selection.This doctrine，which takes for granted that those species best able to adapt to and master the natural environment in which they live will survive，has suggested that the struggle for survival is an inherent human trait which determines a person's success.Darwin's theory has even been summarized as "survival of the fittest" — a phrase Darwin himself never used-further highlighting competition's role in success.As it has often been pointed out，however，there is nothing in the concept of natural selection that suggests that competition is the most successful strategy for "survival of the fittest." Darwin asserted in The Origin of Species that the struggles he was describing should be viewed as metaphors and could easily include dependence and cooperation. Many studies have been conducted to test the importance placed on competition as opposed to other values，such as cooperation — by various cultures，and generally conclude that Americans uniquely praise competition as natural，inevitable，and desirable.In 1937，the world-renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead published Cooperation and Competition among Primitive Peoples，based on her studies of several societies that did not prize competition，and，in fact，seemed at times to place a negative value on it.One such society was the Zuni Indians of Arizona，and they，Mead found，valued cooperation far more than competition.After studying dozens of such cultures，Mead's final conclusion was that competitiveness is a culturally created aspect of human behavior，and that its prevalence in a particular society is relative to how that society values it.（1）What does the author think is easy to see in many areas of contemporary life？ ____ A.The disagreement on the inevitability of competition.B.The consequence of psychological investigation.C.The effect of human drives.D.The impact of competition.（2）According to psychology，what do people strive to do following the initial stage of their life？ ____ A.Fulfill individual needs without incurring adverse effects of human drives.B.Indulge in cultural pursuits while keeping their base impulses at bay.C.Gain extensive recognition without exposing pure indulgence.D.Satisfy their own desires while observing social conventions.（3）What do we learn about the "natural world" characterized by Thomas Hobbes？ ____ A.It gets misrepresented by philosophers and anthropologists.B.It gets distorted in Darwin's The Origin of Species.C.It is free from the rational intervention of humans.D.It is the pre-rational world rarely appreciated nowadays.（4）What can we conclude from Darwin's assertion in The Origin of Species？ ____ A.ll species inherently depend on others for survival.B.Struggles for survival do not exclude mutual support.C.ompetition weighs as much as cooperation as a survival strategy.D.The strongest species proves to be the fittest in natural selection.（5）What conclusion did Margaret Mead reach after studying dozens of different cultures？ ____ A.It is characteristic of humans to be competitive.B.Americans are uniquely opposed to cooperation.C.ompetition is relatively more prevalent in Western societies.D.People's attitude towards competition is actually culture-bound.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
