11.It is generally believed that money can't buy happiness.However,that may not be always true.According to a recent article,in the last few years,new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel.Broadly speaking,people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by.But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face.(36)B

Elizabeth Dunn,professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada,found that in nations as diverse as Canada,South Africa and Uganda,giving away money consistently made people happier.(40)C
