А вот сам текст к первому заданию
Where do you think the world’s happiest people live? Somewhere hot
with sandy beaches? A country with a tradition of fine food and culture?
Not according to a recent study by the University of Leicester. In a list
ranking countries by the happiness of their citizens, it put tropical Fiji 50
places below freezing Iceland, while Canada was far above France and
Italy. And the happiest people on Earth? Those 5.5 million people who
call Denmark their home.
Surprised? Well you’ll be more surprised when you hear that the Danes
pay some of the highest taxes in the world. Most Danes are used to
seeing between 50-70% of their salary going to the government! So
what is the secret of their success?
Let’s start with all that tax they pay. The Danish government provides
its people with one of the finest education and health systems in the
world. It spends more on children and elderly people per capita than any
other country.
And there’s another advantage to those high taxes. Because a refuse
collector’s final salary is not that much less than someone who works in
a bank, for example, Danes don’t choose their careers based on money
or status as people in other countries do. They choose the job they want
to do. There’s a philosophy in Denmark known as ‘Jante-lov’, which
translates as ‘you’re no better than anybody else’. The refuse collector
can hold his head up high as he proudly does his job – workers in other
countries are not used to looking at life this way.
Money doesn’t seem as important in Denmark. It has been called ‘post-
consumerist’ society. People have nice things in their houses, but they’re
not mad about shopping and spending. They love hanging out with
friends and family at gatherings called ‘hygge’. 92% of Danes belong to
some kind of social club and these clubs are even paid by the
government.
Finally Danish people aren’t as suspicious as many other nations and
show an amazing amount of trust in each other and their government.
You can see signs of this all over the country. You’ll find vegetables
stalls with no assistant. You take what you want and leave the money in
a basket. Danes don’t need to lock their bikes up when they leave them
to go into a shop. Perhaps the bikes is a good symbol of Denmark. The
Danes can afford cars but they choose bikes – simple, economical, non-
poluting machines that show no status and help people keep fit.
