Part B

Directions :

Read the texts in which five people expressed their opinions about the concept of "happiness". For

questions 61 t0 65, match the name of each person, to one of the statements(A to G)given, below. Mark your answers on, ANS WER SHEET 1.

Heather McCoy:

Entering a bookstore, one cannot help but notice entire shelves devoted to books boasting knowledge of the true path to happiness.

Whether this wave of infomercials and books can actually make people happier is the question .Happiness cannot be found by adhering to a narrow set of steps or rules. Finding happiness is not as simple as following a how-to manual, it is something that every person must find in his or her own way.

Gary Russell:

Does happiness grow proportionally with wealth? Hardly.

Experience teaches us material satisfaction comes only when one finds himself wealthier than

those around him; and, in a like manner, one feels unhappy only when finding himself poorer than

his friends or relatives.

So, a millionaire will experience a feeling of being lowered when confronting a billionaire ,while a worker with a monthly salary of several hundred dollars becomes the envy of the villagers in remote mountainous regions.

David Niven:

True happiness is not a result from human action. Results are temporary whereas happiness is everywhere and can neither be created nor destroyed. True happiness is realized by understanding one's own SELF. With true happiness there is no place for disappointments ! True happiness may mean pain and restraint in the beginning but will lead to eternal joy and freedom. To achieve true happiness, we should isolate and remove the negatives.

Joshua Patty:

Happiness is a state of mind. You can be happy in almost any situation. Likewise, you can be unhappy in an equal number of situations. In the end, it's your decision.

If one can control one's unhappiness, then one must be able to control one's happiness. As far as I know, the Human Genome Project has not been able to identify a single part of any human chromosome which is responsible for happiness.

Laura Johnson:

So what makes me a happy person? Studying to be a journalist because I love to write, not be-cause it pays a lot of money. Skiing in the winter snow and swimming in the summer sun. Spend-ing time with my close friends from home that like the real me just as much as the old me. Being in a stable family. Reading romance novels and watching bizarre movies. Having a boyfriend who

knows more about rock and roll history than I do.

Now match the name of each person, (61 t0 65) to the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements.

Statements

[A] Happiness lies in persistent pursuit.

[B] Happiness is in your own hand.

[C] Freedom is positively related to happiness.

[D] Happiness is based on comparison.

[E] There does not exist a guide to happiness.

[F] Happiness is a balance between man and nature.

[G] Happiness is all about doing what you want to.

•Read the following profile of Bruce Petter, the new Director of the Management Consultants Association (MCA), and the questions on the opposite page.

•For each question (15-20), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.

Bruce Petter has not always been an executive. He started his career pumping petrol at a filling station, as he explains: 'After I left the army, my friend's father, who was Managing Director of a petrol company, recommended that I go into the oil industry. My great- uncle was running our own family petrol company, and I learnt the ropes at a petrol station. I subsequently married the daughter of the Marketing Director but this did not make for the happiest of scenarios. Depending on which side of the family they came from, my relatives thought I should support either my great-uncle or my farther-in-law, so I decided the time had come for me to leave the warring factions to fight it out among themselves and move on.'

He became founding Director of the Petrol Retailers Association. But after a few years he decided, 'I was getting to the stage where I wanted to move on again, so when I heard about the Management Consultants Association (MCA) post, I applied.'

He was aware that the selection process for the head of any trade association would, by definition, be protracted because of the difficulty of getting very busy people with mainstream business interests together. The association had 30 member companies at the time, representing a large proportion of the best-known names in the sector, and 'they all wanted to have a look at this individual who had applied to represent their interests, so I saw an awful lot of the membership'.

His principal area of expertise, he feels, is in running a trade association and the briefing that he has been handed suggests that this will be of prime value. 'If you were to ask me if I was ever going to be an expert management consultant, the answer would be no. But I am, I hope, able to articulate their views, to push through policies they want to see in operation and to improve their image. I hope to make management consultancy a powerful voice in government and industry.'

The President of the MCA confirms what landed Petter the job. 'We saw a lot of people, but there were three things in particular that impressed us about Brace. His experience of running a trade association was key and it seemed to us that he had a good understanding of how to relate to and inspire a membership made up of very busy partners, often in very large but also some considerably smaller firms. We are also aware that management consultancy is not always portrayed in a favourable light and he has done quite a bit of work on public image and has some very positive views in this area.'

So, Mr Petter has taken over from retiring Director Brian O'Rorke, and a change of mood is now in the air. O'Rorke was at the helm for 13 years and his successor is reticent when it comes to predicting how his own approach will differ. 'Brian did a magnificent job of sustaining the Association, of holding it together through thick and thin.' I detect a 'but' in his voice. But? 'I think if you ask anybody who or what the MCA was under his direction, the temptation would be to say "Brian O'Rorke". 'Petter feels his own style. will be very much determined by the objectives of the members: he sees himself as a channel for those aims. 'I don't want the MCA to be perceived as Bruce Petter's empire, but rather the members' empire,' he says. Mr Petter clearly has a difficult task ahead, but many of his staff will welcome a more open, modem style. and there's every indication he will be a success.

What do we learn about Bruce Petter in the first paragraph?

A.He likes to think of himself as a loyal person.

B.He has a negative view of family-run businesses.

C.His military background came in useful later in his career.

D.An awkward situation influenced the development of his career.
