HAPPINESS
What is happiness? In many industrialized countries, it is often equated with money. But the small Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan has been trying a different idea. In 1972, concerned about the problems afflicting other developing countries 1____________, Bhutan’s leader, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, decided to make his nation’s priority its GNH, or Gross National Happiness. Bhutan, the King said, needed to ensure that prosperity was shared across society and that it was balanced against preserving cultural traditions, protecting the environment and maintaining a responsive government. The King instituted policies 2____________.
Now, Bhutan’s example is serving as a catalyst for broader discussions of national well-being. A growing number of economics, social scientists, corporate leaders and bureaucrats around the world are trying to develop systems 3 __________ but also access to health care, time with family, conservation of natural resources and other non-economic factors. The goal is partly to obtain a broader definition of the world happiness. “We have to think of human well-being in broader terms,” said Bhutan’s Home Minister. “Material well-being is only one component. That doesn’t ensure that you’re at peace with your environment 4 ____________.
In the early stages of a climb out of poverty, for a household or a country, incomes and contentment grow together. But various studies show that beyond certain points, 5 ___________, happiness does not keep up. And some countries, studies found, were happier than they should be. One study found that Latin American countries, for example, registered far more subjective happiness than their economic status would suggest.
But researches have had great difficulty in developing measuring techniques 6 ____________. And some experts question whether national well-being can really be defined. Just the act of trying to quantify happiness could destroy it, said one expert. “The most important things in life are not prone to measurement – like love.
A. aimed at accomplishing these goals
B. that can capture this broader sense of well-being
C. and in harmony with each other
D. whose focus was only on economic growth

Задание 2
Прочитайте следующий отрывок. На вопросы 1-7 выберите ответы (A,B,C или D), занесите выбранные буквы (A- D) в таблицу, согласно номеру вопроса.
Napoleon Bonaparte’s ambition to control all the area around the Mediterranean Sea led him and his French soldiers to Egypt. After losing a naval battle, they were forced to remain there for three years. In 1799, while constructing a fort, a soldier discovered a piece of stele (stone pillar bearing an inscription) known as the Rosetta stone. This famous stone, which would eventually lead to the deciphering of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics dating to 3100 B. C., was written in three languages: hieroglyphics (picture writing), demotic (a shorthand version of hieroglyphics), and Greek. Scientists discovered that the characters, unlike those in English, could be written from right to left and in other directions as well.
Twenty-three years after discovery of the Rosetta stone, Jean Francois Champollion, a French philologist, fluent in several languages, was able to decipher the first word – Ptolemy – name of an Egyptian ruler. This name was written inside an oval called a “cartouche”. Further investigation revealed that cartouches contained names of important people of that period. Champollion painstakingly continued his search and was able to increase his growing list of known phonetic signs. He and an Englishman, Thomas Young, worked independently of each other to unravel the deeply hidden mysteries of this strange language. Young believed that sound values could be assigned to the symbols, while Champollion insisted that the pictures represented words.
1. How many years elapsed between the date of the oldest hieroglyphics deciphered by means of the Rosetta stone and the stone’s discovery?
A 1 301
B 1 799

B Champollion and Young worked together in an attempt to decipher the hieroglyphics.
C One of Napoleon’s soldiers discovered the Rosetta stone.
D Thomas Young believed that sound values could be assigned to the symbols.
4. When was the first word from the Rosetta stone deciphered?
A 3 100 B. C.
B 1766
C 1799
D 1822
5. What was the first word that was deciphered from the Rosetta stone?
