It is interesting to note what does not necessarily make you happy Class, wealth, social position, intelligence and race are all poor indicatiors (although poverty is a good indicator of unhappiness) Women are

slightly happier than men, and older poeple rather more satisfied - though less jouful - than younger people But most people are - or claim

to be - happy This is, surprisingly, the same for everyone 'Whatever situation people are in, whether thay are prisoners or lottery winners, roughly the same levels of happiness on average can be found' Most people score six or seven on scale of one to ten

Marriage is a greater source of happiness than being single 35 per cent

of married men and 41.5 per cent However, having children is not the source of happiness many believe it to be Survey after survey shows that happiness levels begin to fall after the birth of a child, reaching their lowest point in the teenage years and only returning to previous levels when the children leave home This is rathe strange, since people keep on having kids despite the clear evidence that having children makes you less happy One possible explanation is that these are things that people consider more valuable than happiness, like a feeling of being

worthwhile Or maybe bad marriages stick together because of children

Though Paul Gauguin, himself, recognized both the "sensitive" and the

"savage" as two opposing sides of his character, in his career as an artist

he thought of himself as "the savage" He tended to disregard convention and abandon social responsibilities He felt that only by renouncing the ordinary could he be the artist he wanted to be He justified his

quarreling with friends, his leaving his wife and children, and his

promiscuity, because he believed it to be the only way his art could be liberated In his attitude can be found seeds for art in the 20th century: the art of the primitive, of symbol, and of imagination He wanted to escape from merely observing naturalism to using abstract color and form as conveyors of feeling He wanted to free painting from all

1800 to 7,724 in 1988 In the 19th century, they were brought to the brink of extinction by American, Russian, and Spanish fur traders But

in 1938 a rancher spotted several of to small furry animals floating on their backs, their usual position, off the coast of California Since then, their numbers have slowly multiplied The problem now is not that people hunt them for their furs but that the sea otters are at odds with commercial shellfish industry Many people in the shellfish industry want to get rid of the otters because they eat the very things that the industry wants: clams, abalone, lobster, crabs, and sea urchins

Another danger for the sea otter comes from the oil industry Sea otters have no insulating layer of blubber to keep them warm in 50-degree waters What keeps them warm is their long, thick fur This fur must be kept fluffy and full of air bubbles in order to keep water from coming in direct contact with the otter's skin If there is an oil spill, as has been common is recent years, the oil could mat the sea otter's fur, which would cause death by freezing within hours As a result, conservatinists are now concerned about what might happen if a large number of sea otters and an oil slick meet

87 Question 87-91

Having reached the highest point of route according to plan, we

discovered something the map had not told us It was impossible to climb down into the Kingo valley The river lay deep between mountain sides that were almost vertical We couldn't find any animal tracks, which usually show the best way across country, and the slopes were covered so thickly with bushes that we could not see the nature of the ground We had somehow to break through to the river which would give us our direction out of the mountains into the inhabited lowlands

Our guide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and

we followed in single file Progress was slow.Then, when we thought we had really reached the river, we found ourselves instead on the edge of a cliff with a straight drop of 1.000 feer to the water below We climbed back up the slope and began to look for another way down We climbed, slipped, sweated and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at the river Happily we strode downhill along its bank without having to cut our way However, after a few miles the river entered a steep-sided gap between rocks and suddenly dropped thirty-five feet over a

waterfall There was no path alongside it and no way round it

Then one of the guides saw a way of overcoming the difficulty There was

a fallen tree lying upside down over the waterfall with its leafy top

resting on the opposite bank below the falls Without hesitation he

climbed down the slippery trunk to show us how easy it was Having got

to the fork of the tree, he moved hand over hand along a branch for four

or five feet with his legs hanging in space, then he dropped onto the flat bank the other side, throwing his arms in the air like a footballer who has scored a goal, and cheerfully waving us on

I hated almost every day of my time at boarding school and, in any case,

my first term was a disaster I found it very difficult to settle down, and

my unhappiness was made worse because I was also unhappy at home A happy home life gives you a base from which you can go into the world with confidence But if life at home is difficult, life away at boarding school is almost impossible Apart from having to keep to a great many rules and customs, many of which seemed to me stupid, we were never allowed to be alone You had to be with another boy at all times I am extremely dependent on being alone as part of every day, so daily life at school was very hard for me, though the over boys managed fairly well

In the middle of the first term I developed a cough The school nurse said

it was a 'stomach-cough', whatever that may be, and gave me some pills However, afterwards, playing football in a snowstorm, I suddenly could not breathe properly and was taken to the hospital ill with bronchitis and pneumonia Almost at once I was put into a small room with another boy who was allso very ill He died and I nearly did My main memory of my stay at the hospital was that the night-nurses used to get together in my room and play cards and chat Keeping the light on and keeping me awake when I was seriously ill didn't bother them When I had recovered

I was sent home for a few weeks and missed a term

When I returned to school, I was sent to bed early because of my illness,

and so managed to get a brief period alone every day Later on when I went into the Senior part of the school, I was allowed to go to the school library by myself, which was a great improvement

whether it was a sad day for me I replied that it was the happiest day of

my life He said I would come to think of my time at the school very differently I said that I was sure that I would not Though I have had unhappy days since that day, I have found that my conclusions then - that nothing afterwards could ever be so bad as boarding school - have been proved true
