01解析：
这题很深刻，如果是社会经济学领域专家，可能会产生出很深刻的见解和分析，大家可以自行去搜索一下Easterlin Paradox-伊斯特林悖论，对于这个题目的见解和想法会多一些。
而对于我一个素人，每次看到这个题目第1反应就是会想起马斯洛需求原理
“It is quite true that man lives by bread alone—when there is no bread.But what happens to man’s desires when there is plenty of bread and when his belly is chronically filled?”
美国心理学家亚伯拉罕·马斯洛（Maslow.A.H.）把人的需求分成生理需求(physiological needs)、安全需求(safety needs)、归属与爱(belonging and love)、尊重需求(esteem)和自我实现(self-actualization)五个层次。
在一些经济发展滞后，贫困的国家如非洲的一些地区，人们还在挣扎于如何满足生理需求，饥肠辘辘若有食物果腹便是当下最幸福的事情
在一些战争频发，或是社会治安混乱的国家或地区，安全需求与人们的幸福感息息相关，若是能够进入到一个安全，有秩序的环境中生活，人们便可感到幸福
而在一个已经很富裕又很安稳的情况下，人们则会去追求更高一层次的需求，比如归属感，爱，尊重及自我实现。
从以上我们看到，在不同的经济状况下，人们的幸福程度受到不同因素的影响
在一个已经很富有的国家中，一般而言，人们的温饱不成问题(lower level deficit needs have already been satisfied)
在此情况下，很多人就会去追求高层次需求（progressing on to meet higher level growth needs），那么国家的经济实力振兴是否会让人们更容易去获得归属感(belonging)，爱(love)，尊重(prestige and feeling of accomplishment)，自我实现(achieving one’s full potential)呢？
哥伦比亚大学曾做过一个World Happiness Report,报告中的一个结论就是Happier countries tend to be richer countries.
幸福指数高的国家为北欧国家The happiest countries in the world are all in Northern Europe(Denmark,Norway,Finland,Netherlands).这些地方相对来讲经济发达，
但报告中也同样指出了：But more important for happiness than income are social factors like the strength of social support,the absence of corruption and the degree of personal freedom.人们得到的社会支持，社会的清廉程度以及人们的自由对与幸福感影响更大
正如我们前面所提及的马斯洛个人需求理论，在一个富裕的社会，人们有更多的机会，但是在一个提供强有力的社会支持，给予人民自由的社会中，人们的归属与爱，尊重与满足，自我实现可以得到更好的满足。
报告中使用了美国作为例子，毫无疑问，美国是经济强国，但是人民的幸福程度如何呢？
As one key example,the world’s economic superpower,the United States,has achieved striking economic and technological progress over the past half century（描述经济发展迅速的好句）without gains in the self-reported happiness of the citizenry.（相对而言，大部分的人民生活肯定是已经很幸福的，只是相对而言，经济继续发展中，幸福程度并没有增长）Instead,uncertainties and anxieties are high,social and economic inequalities have widened considerably,social trust is in decline,and confidence in government is at an all-time low.（反之，社会开始逐渐出现一些问题）
所以我们可以总结一下，国家富裕是人们幸福的一个十分重要的因素，但是在国家已经比较富裕的情况下，发展经济不一定会增加人们的幸福感，提高社会福利和保障，建立人们信任的廉洁政府增强国民信心，保证人民自由可能是提升全民幸福感更有力的途径。
02范文分析：
Richer countries are generally happier than poorer countries.And yet growing national wealth is not always accompanied by growing national happiness.I totally agree with the statement that in rich countries,additional increase in wealth can hardly make people happier.
开头段：背景引出+观点给出
好词：accompany by：随行，伴奏；在…的陪同下
Not surprisingly,people living in poor countries will report a rising satisfaction with their meager incomes increase.Even small gains in a household’s income can result in a child’s survival,the end of hunger pangs,improved nutrition,better learning opportunities,safe childbirth,and prospects for ongoing improvements and opportunities in schooling,job training,and gainful employment.However,Rich countries have achieved their economic peak and citizens are usually capable of living a decent life.An extra padding of money to spend on things other than necessities of life will temporarily increase a person’s satisfaction,but ultimately resulting in consumerism.
主体1段：论证经济发展，有更多钱的对于提升幸福感的作用，是有作用的，但是作用更多是对于发展中国家，而非对于发达国家中的人
Another factor is the income inequity which usually associated with additional economy growth.As an economy grows,that growth is typically not shared equally.Unless redistributive mechanisms stand in the way,the rich get richer,and inequality widens.Inequality has been linked to lower levels of trust in others and a reduced sense of fairness;trust and fairness are both predictive of happiness.Besides,income inequality is linked with fewer economic opportunities,less social mobility,poorer overall health,and higher levels of crime.All of these are causes for stress and anxiety,detracting from a society’s overall sense of safety,security,and well-being.Thus,reduce individuals happiness.
主体2段：讲额外的财富，经济继续发展，对于会如何引发一些社会问题，以及人们的心里上的变化，因此导致幸福感的下降
To conclude,in rich countries,additional wealth,in most cases,will not make people happier.Instead,it may cause social problems and increase citizens’mental burden,which may even lead to a decreased level of happiness.
