Dialogue: W: Today in the studio we have Alberto Cortez, the well-known Brazilian advocate of the anti-global movement. He's here to talk about the recent report, stating that by 2050 Brazil will be the one ot the word's wealthiest and most successful countries. Alberto, what do you say to the report? M: You know this isn't the first time that people are saying Brazil will be a great economic power. The same thing was said over a hundred year ago. But it didn't happen. W: Yes, but you must admit the world's a very different place now. M: Of course. In fact I believe there's maybe some truth in the prediction this time around. First of all, though, we must remember the problems facing Brazil at the moment. W: Such as...? M: There's an enormous gap between the rich and the poor in this country. In Sal Paulo, you can see shopping malls full of designer goods right next door to the slam areas without proper water and electricity supplies. A lot of work needs to be done to help people in those areas improve their lives. W: What needs to be done? M: Education, for example. For Brazil to be successful, we need to offer education to all Brazilians. Successful countries like South Korea and Singapore have excellent education systems. Brazil needs to learn from these countries. W: So you are hopeful for the future. M: As I said earlier, I'm hopeful. This isn't an easy job. We need to make sure that these important opportunities for Brazil aren't wasted, as they were in the past. Question: What problem does Alberto say Brazil faces now? - The lack of overall urban planning. - The huge gap between the haves and have-nots. - The inadequate supply of water and electricity.
(Answer)
The huge gap between the haves and have-nots.

Dialogue: Lisa: Frank, are you happy? I mean you have a big house and you have a car. Frank: I don't know, Lisa. A lot of people also have houses and cars. Lisa: You mean you want to have more than other people and this will make you happy? Frank: Possibly. Lisa: Then you're looking for relative happiness. Frank: Ok, Lisa, what do you think is happiness? Lisa: Well, through the centuries, people have offered quite different definitions of happiness such as happy people were married women and single men, or happiness meant serf-gratification, or happiness could be achieved by eating less or eating more. Frank: So happiness is rather elusive? Lisa: I think the happiest people are those who find joy in their daily lives, and who enjoy their friendships, families, work and hobbies. Frank: You mean they are not bothered by the desire to get something more, something new, something better? Lisa: You couldn't be more correct. One more thing, Frank, if you are happy, you may not be satisfied with your life. Frank: What do you mean? Lisa: Happiness often means how happy you feel with your life now. Satisfaction often means that people have to take a step back from their lives and look at them in general. Question: What is true of the past definitions of happiness? - They were based on self-gratification. - They varied greatly. - They were based on lifestyles.
(A).

Ques:Dialogue: W: You know I've often wondered why people laugh at the picture of a big belly businessman slipping on a banana skin and falling on his bottom. We are to feel sorry for them. M: Actually, Laura, I think we laugh because we are glad it didn't happen to us. But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves. W: Yes, and there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped, you know, deaf, or short-sighted things like that. After all, it's not really funny to be like that. M: Oh, I think that's because we're embarrassed. We don't know how to cope with the situation. Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we may get like that, so we laugh. M: What about the custard pie routine? W: What do you mean 'custard pie routine'? M: You know, all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss, He picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person's face. W: That never makes me laugh much, because you can guess what's going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must because of the sort of the thing we'd all love to do once in a while and never quiet have the courage to. M: I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated. She said it relieved her feelings. W: It must have come a bit expensive. M: Not really. She took care never to throw her best china. Question: Why does the man say we laughed when we see some self-important people making fool of themselves? - We simply cannot help reacting instinctively that way. - We wish to hide our indifference to their misfortune. - We derive some humorous satisfaction from their misfortune.

Ans:We derive some humorous satisfaction from their misfortune.
