B Men are happier with money, while women find greater joy in friendships and relationships with their children, co – workers and bosses, a new global survey indicates. The online survey of 28,153 people in more than 51 countries by global marketing and information firm Nielsen found that as the world struggles with a recession（衰退） and financial markets remain declined, many people are reminding themselves that money can’t buy happiness. The Nielsen Happiness Study found that globally, women are happier than men in 48 of the 51 countries surveyed in August 2009, and only in Brazil, South Africa and Vietnam were men found to be happier than women. “Because they are happier with non-economic factors, women’s happiness is more recession-proof which might explain why women around the world are happier in general than men are,” Nielsen Vice President of Consumer Research Bruce Paul said in a statement. Japanese women reported the greatest difference and are 15 percent happier than Japanese men.Women are also more optimistic about the future, scoring higher than men on predictions of their happiness in the next six months. Women were also more content with their marriage life, the study founD.Japanese and New Zealand women reported the greatest difference in satisfaction with their marriage lifE. Men are generally happier with their physical health than women, and this is especially pronounced in South AfricA.Egypt bucks the trend, with women rating their happiness with their health considerably higher than men. Globally, men rated their happiness with their mental health higher than women.It was the same in Belgium, South Korea, Mexico, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Egypt, and Israel. There are three main drivers of happiness globally, according to the study: personal financial situation, mental health and job/career.Being satisfied with your partner is also important for happiness. 61.The passage mainly centers around ______. A.key drivers leading to happiness B.a study on happiness between sexes C.a medical survey on men and women D.comparisons between men and women 62.Compared with women, men tend to be happier with ______. A.money, friendship and their family B.financial situation, health and marriage life C.the future, mental health and money D.mental health, physical health and money 63.The underlined word in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______. A.strengthens B.opposes C.follows D.continues 64.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT right? A.Globally, women are happier than men in general. B.Women in Vietnam are not as happy as men. C.Women score higher than men on predictions of their futurE. D.Women’s happiness is less likely affected by financial crisis. 65.Which country has the biggest difference in happiness between men and women? A.Japan. B.New ZealanD. C.Egypt. D.South AfricA.
