听力原文:W: Good morning, Professor Sherwood, Thank you for accepting our interview. You've been doing re search on happiness for many years, so I'm sure you have some interesting information to share with our audience.
M: Good morning. I hope I can answer your questions.
W: Are people in rich countries happier than people in not-so-rich countries?
M: Well, I would say there is a relationship between national wealth and well-being. In other words, the economic wealth of a country does appear to reflect the overall well-being of its citizens.
W: Does it mean that rich people in a country are happier than poor people?
M: In some poor Countries, satisfaction with one's financial situation does affect happiness. But once people are able to afford the basic necessities of life; having more money doesn't necessarily make them happier.
W: What about rich places like Europe and United States? Are income and happiness related?
M: Very little. Rich people are only slightly happier than the average citizen.
W: I'm always wondering whether winning a lottery can bring happiness.
M: Well, as a matter of fact, various studies show that lottery winners only get temporary joy.
W: I guess wealth is like health. If you don't have your health or if you're extremely poor, you will be miserable.
M: Yes, that's true. Happiness is wanting what we have rather than getting what we want.
W: That's a nice way of putting it. In your opinion, do people become happier as their countries be come richer?
M: Well, if I take the case of the United States, from 1957 to 1996, the proportion of people who said that they were very happy declined from 35% to 30%. But during that same period, the average income per person in the United States doubled.
W: So, you mean that a steady increase in a country's prosperity does not mean an increase in its people's happiness.
M: That's right.

Distance education is enrollment and study with an educational institution that provides lesson materials prepared in a sequential and logical order for study by students on their own. When each lesson is completed, the student mails or transmits the assigned work to the institution for correction, grading, comment, and subject matter guidance by qualified instructors; Corrected assignments are re turned promptly to the student. This exchange provides a personalized student-teacher relationship. If a student slows his or her pace or fails to send assignments, the school provides encouragement. Al though some institutions provide employment information and assistance, no famous school ever guarantees a job to graduates.
Distance education and self-study are different. Self-study materials provide no instructional service. Corrected assignments, examinations, and special help provided by a qualified facility are vital to a good learning situation. However. these are not part of self-study. There are many self-study courses and recordings available, and they may have value, but they clearly are not correspondence or distance education courses. Some institutions offer combination courses that provide training-in-residence for students who complete their distance education lessons. In-service or on the-job training is required or provided with other courses and is a feature of many vocational distance education programs.
Quality distance education institutions screen possible students to assure that only those who can benefit from the courses are enrolled. While there are educational: requirements for some academic subjects ,interest and ability are the primary factors leading to success in most distance education courses. Because they provide alternative educational opportunities, distance education institutions try not to deny a student the opportunity to succeed in a course interest and experience are good indicators of future success.
Distance education courses vary greatly in scope, level, and length. Some have few lessons and require only weeks to complete, while others have a hundred or more assignments requiring three or four years of conscientious study. Also, a wide variety of subjects is offered. Subjects include yacht de sign, accounting, medical transcription, nutrition, robotics, travel agent training, gun repair, gem identification ,computer programming, catering and cooking, and earning an entire high school diploma ,just to name a few.
There is an increasing recognition of "distance education" and many colleges offered it for their distance learning courses or accept some distance education credits of resident students working to ward a degree.
