can be built.

I feel that if there is, in this world, one person whom we can touch totally and
unabashedly, we will never die of loneliness. One person! I don’t say fifty, a hundred, a
thousand. It does not matter who that person is, woman to woman, man to man, someone
you can go to and who will listen.The problem is: although most of us can select the joy of intimacy, many people
choose not to. Some believe that intimate relationships are risky. They believe that intimacy
will hurt, and that it is going to make the greatest demands on you, bring out your deepest
feelings, and make you feel miserable sometimes. Moreover, it seems that our modern
society does not reinforce intimacy. One out of every four marriages ends in divorce. As
George Leonard says, “we can orbit the earth, we can touch the moon, but this society has
not devised a way for two people to live together in harmony for seven straight days
without wanting to strangle each other.” It is said that intimacy is out of date, but I would
like to assert that intimacy is absolutely essential or we are all going to go mad. Go ahead
and live in isolation, if you can. I believe that you can judge your level of mental health to
the degree that you can form meaningful and lasting relationships.
What does the author urge readers to do?
To avoid risky relationships
To touch oneself
To find a good husband
To enjoy intimacy

Nigerians are the happiest people in the world. The World Values Survey found that
almost 70 percent of Nigerians consider themselves very happy. Money certainly is not the
reason that made Nigerians happy. Having tons of money is only a limited factor in
happiness. __17__ Bill Gates, for example, is happy not because of his immense wealth
but because everybody wants to be his friend.
Money can certainly buy happiness, but its impact seems to drop once you can afford
basic necessities. Of course, inflation makes the problem worse. __18__ Even when
money does exert an influence, it is not the size of your paycheck that matters.
__19__ The New York cabbie who has an efficient car may seem happy, but not as
happy as the Ethiopian villager who has a more efficient cow than his/her neighbors. When
you are living amid wealth and luxury, your desires tend to be greater. __20__ It should
not be surprising, then, that Nigeria, Mexico, Venezuela and El Salvador rank the highest in
happiness among the 65-plus countries surveyed.
Unfulfilled desires are a major source of unhappiness.
It is certainly not as significant as having good friends.
Money just does not buy as much happiness as it used to.
The survey indicates happiness can flourish in various cultures.
