People are envious of Zhang Wei and his high salary . But the young engineer doesn't feel happy at all . “A heavy workload ,fierce competition and rising living expenses keep me working 1 the clock ,”said the 35-year-old .“I wish I could go back to my university days ,even though I had far less 2 then.”
Zhang is not the only one who doesn't feel as 3 as before .“It is a time when money can't buy happiness,”said Andrew Oswald,a British economist studying happiness . His research shows that 4 society has become more prosperous and technically advanced in Western countries ,life 5 has not improved over the last 30 years .

But according to a March survey by China Youth Daily and Sina . com , around 85 per cent of Chinese people feel heavier living burdens than 10 years ago 9 the fact that nearly 80 per cent say their incomes have increased .
“Traditional measurements of progress , which heavily 10 the economic over the social ,are becoming outmoded (过时的),”said Oswald . He explained that in the 1940s,when people were struggling to 11 themselves ,growth was needed to 12 the basics.
But things have become totally different now . A lot of people don't want a wider TV or more clothes 13 they need a pleasing environment or a light -hearted party . So“we should 14 less on GDP ,but more on GWB , 15 general well-being ,”said Oswald .
Canadian ,British ,and northern European governments have created their own quality of life indexes (指数)that include crime ,health ,environmental ,and cultural 16 . In China , “happiness index ”has also become a buzz phrase (热门词汇) 17 the attention of economists and politicians .
“Not only the government but we citizens should adjust the 18 of self-development to make ourselves happier ,”said Yuan Yue ,a Chinese sociologist . Don't just chase money or fame . Make sure you have time to 19 . Then you'll be 20 ,he added .

I don't like Women's Day ,because I , now only 21, was blessed with Happy Women's Day on March 8 by several friends jokingly or not . Don't always think celebration is 1 . For me ,this blessing means : I am not so 2 as a young girl . And that is too bad !
Nowadays , women's status is higher and higher . In order to show 3 to women and celebrate this important fact ,the International Women's Day 4 . It is a very good thing to remind people of 5 between men and women . But for the celebration, I don't 6 .Because if women and men are 7 to be equal ,why we women need the celebration 8 men needn't ? Because they don't have men's day or they don't need ? This is unfair to men and women ,isn't it ?
The women's celebration 9 the very thing , the exact thing that men and women are 10 ! Because the newborn baby boy now and man in the future will be 11 by the fact : 12 only women have the celebration ? It is so unfair !And the newborn baby girl today and woman in future will think it is so 13 that :we women are born to be delicate(纤弱的)and 14 !We have our day celebrated !
15 the day they learn that women were considered as inferior(地位低的)in the old times can they understand why we have women's day . Yes , it is worthwhile to remember that we have this big 16 that men and women become equal . But , celebration can be omitted because just I have already said : 17 men and women are born to be equal it is 18 ;and when the women's day becomes a memorized day , 19 will bless me 20 .Happy Women's Day !
