children, co-workers and bosses, a new global study shows.
The online study of 28,153 people in more than 51 countries by global marketing and information firm
Nielsen found that as the world struggles with a recession (衰退) and financial (经济) mar kets keep falling,
many people are reminding themselves that money can't buy happiness.
The Nielsen Happiness Study found that globally, women are happier than men in 48 of the 51 countries
surveyed in August 2009,and only in Brazil, South Africa and Vietnam were men found to be happier than
women." Because they are happier with noneco nomic factors, women's happiness is more recession-proof
which might explain why women around the world are happier in general than men are," Nielsen Vice Ptesident
of Consumer Research Bruce Paul said in a statement.
Japanese women reported the greatest difference and are 15 percent happier than Japanese men. Women
are also more optimistic about the future, scoring higher than men on predictions (预言 ) of their happiness
in the next six months.

women reported the grea test. difference in satisfaction with their marriage life.

Today, at 28, the young German Violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter is at the top. “She gives radiance (光芒) to the music,” wrote Geoffrey Norris in The Daily Telegraph, London.
Born in Rheinfelden on June 29, 1963, Anne-Sophie grew up in Wehr, a small town just five kilometers from the Swiss border. Her father, Karl Wilhelm Mutter, and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. It came as no surprise when Anne-Sophie said she wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.
Her parents thought she was too young for the violin, and persuaded her to start on the piano. But Anne-Sophie has always had a mind of her own. “I longed to play the violin,” she says, “It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument.” After six months, her parents gave in.
Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter’s performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road,” says her father. “No outsider can ever have an effect on our daughter’s career or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.” Later she was allowed to give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings.
