　　美国 Essential Airport Service (EAS) 补贴计划好不好?

　　阅读：

　　1. 让小地方也方便坐飞机;

　　2. 促进了偏远农村地区的经济发展，吸引人才、招商;

　　3. EAS使用的是小型飞机，成本较低。

　　听力反驳：

　　1. 很多距离不到120km，没必要飞机;

　　2. 农村地区的人都会往城里走，去找工作等，政府应该将资金投入到基础设施的改善上，更好的教育和工作机会，这将比EAS带来更大的好处;

　　3. EAS使用的小型飞机已停产，维修运营成本高。

　　工作和人际关系，哪个对人的幸福感影响更大?

　　Professor Achebe

　　Next week we'll be talking about factors that contribute to human happiness. Surveys reveal that career satisfaction and the quality of personal relationships, such as with family and friends, are frequently identified as two important factors for happiness. Which of these two factors -career or relationships do you think most people would say has the greater impact on their overall happiness, and why?

　　Claire

　　I would say career satisfaction impacts overall happiness more. Having a fulfilling job gives you a sense of purpose and achievement that's hard to replicate elsewhere. It's a core part of your identity and self-worth. Relationships are vital too, but work dominates so much of our waking lives that its role in our well-being can't be overstated.

　　Paul

　　Relationships are more impactful for happiness than career. We're social beings, so having strong bonds with family and friends fulfills a core need. Quality time with loved ones boosts positive emotions and provides a support system during tough times. That's why relationships trump career when it comes to overall well-being.
