Passage 1

Perhaps the most curious and interesting phrase ever put into a public document is “the pursuit of happiness.”It is declared to be an inalienable right.It cannot be sold.It cannot be given away.It is doubtful if it could be left by will.The right of every man to be six feet high,and of every woman to be five feet four,was regarded as self-evident until women asserted their undoubted right to be six feet high also,when some confusion was introduced into the interpretation of this rhetorical fragment of the eighteenth century.

The pursuit of happiness!It is not strange that men call it an illusion.But I am well satisfied that it is not the thing itself,but the pursuit,that is an illusion.Instead of thinking of the pursuit,why not fix our thoughts upon the moments,the hours,perhaps the days,of this divine peace,this merriment of body and mind,that can be repeated and perhaps indefinitely extended by the simplest of all means,namely,a disposition to make the best of whatever comes to us?Perhaps the Latin poet was right in saying that no man can count himself happy while in this life,that is,in a continuous state of happiness;but as there is for the soul no time save the conscious moment called “now,”it is quite possible to make that “now”a happy state of existence.The point I make is that we should not habitually postpone that season of happiness to the future.

Sometimes wandering in a primeval forests,in all the witchery of the woods,be sought by the kindliest solicitations of nature,wild flowers in the trail,the call of the squirrel,the flutter of birds,the great world-music of the wind in the pine-tops,the flecks of sunlight on the brown carpet and on the rough bark of immemorial trees,I find myself unconsciously postponing my enjoyment until I shall reach a hoped-for open place of full sun and bound-less prospect.

The analogy cannot be pushed,for it is the common experience that these open spots in life,where leisure and space and contentment await us,are usually grown up with thickets fuller of obstacles,to say nothing of labors and duties and difficulties,than any part of the weary path we have trod.

The pitiful part of this inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness is,however,that most men interpret it to mean the pursuit of wealth,and strive for that always,postponing being happy until they get a fortune,and if they are lucky in that,find at the end that the happiness has somehow eluded them,that;in short,they have not cultivated that in themselves that alone can bring happiness.More than that,they have lost the power of the enjoyment of the essential pleasures of life.I think that the woman in the Scriptures who out of her poverty put her mite into the contribution-box got more happiness out of that driblet of generosity and self-sacrifice than some men in our day have experienced in founding a university.

Passage 2

Muhammad Yunus,the Bangladeshi economist whose Grameen Bank is credited with helping millions of the world's poorest people to lift themselves out of poverty,was the surprise winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.Professor Yunus,65,known as Bangladesh's“banker to the poor”won the $750,000 award ahead of the former president of Finland,Martti Ahtisaari,who had been widely tipped for his role in brokering a peace deal in the Indonesian province of Aceh.

Professor Yunus shares the award with the Grameen Bank,which he found 1983 to dispense tiny loans to Bangladeshi women who used the money to transform their lives by buying tools to start small businesses.

The Grameen Bank has been instrumental in helping millions of poor Bangladeshis,many of them women,improve their standard of living by letting them borrow small sums to start businesses.

Loans go toward buying items such as cows to start a dairy,chickens for an egg bushiness,or mobile phones to start businesses where villagers who have no access to phones pay a small fee to make calls.He said he would use part of his prize money to create a company.The rest would go toward setting up an eye hospital for the poor in Bangladesh.

In its citation,the Nobel Committee said Professor Yunus and the bank had advanced the causes of democracy and human rights around the world by daring to invest in economic and social development for those previously thought beyond help.

Ole Danbolt Mjoes,the committee chairman said,“……before Professor Yunus's scheme,giving loans to poor people without financial collateral had seemed an impossible idea.From modest beginnings three decades ago,Yunus has,first and foremost through the Grameen Bank,developed micro-credit into an evermore important instrument in the struggle against poverty.The Grameen Bank has been a source of ideas and models for the many institutions in the field of micro-credit that have sprung up around the world.”

The idea for the Grameen Bank,which has been copied in more than 100 countries,came from field research conducted by Professor Yunus after the 1974 famine that devastated large parts of Bangladesh.After seeing how women were trapped in a cycle of poverty by the demands of money-lenders,he offered seed-corn loans at reasonable rates to enable them to reap the full rewards of their labor.

Almost 30 years later the Grameen Bank—grameen means village in Bangla—has lent almost $3 billion to 6.6 million borrowers,96 per cent of whom are women.Repayment rates exceed 98 per cent and it is estimated that micro-credit institutions have reached more than 92 million clients,of whom 66 million were living below the absolute poverty line of50 penny per day.Assuming five persons per family,Professor Yunus's idea is said to have directly affected some 333 million people.

Born into the well-to-do family of a goldsmith in the port city of Chittagong,Professor Yunus has cited his mother,Sofia Khatun,who always helped any poor person who knocked on their door,as among his biggest influences.No stranger to awards,he was asked to describe his feelings about the Nobel Prize.“This is the last prize.”he said,“That's what's so special about it.It's the sky.”

Passage 2

Muhammad Yunus,the Bangladeshi economist whose Grameen Bank is credited with helping millions of the world's poorest people to lift themselves out of poverty,was the surprise winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize.Professor Yunus,65,known as Bangladesh's“banker to the poor”won the $750,000 award ahead of the former president of Finland,Martti Ahtisaari,who had been widely tipped for his role in brokering a peace deal in the Indonesian province of Aceh.

Professor Yunus shares the award with the Grameen Bank,which he found 1983 to dispense tiny loans to Bangladeshi women who used the money to transform their lives by buying tools to start small businesses.

The Grameen Bank has been instrumental in helping millions of poor Bangladeshis,many of them women,improve their standard of living by letting them borrow small sums to start businesses.

Loans go toward buying items such as cows to start a dairy,chickens for an egg bushiness,or mobile phones to start businesses where villagers who have no access to phones pay a small fee to make calls.He said he would use part of his prize money to create a company.The rest would go toward setting up an eye hospital for the poor in Bangladesh.

In its citation,the Nobel Committee said Professor Yunus and the bank had advanced the causes of democracy and human rights around the world by daring to invest in economic and social development for those previously thought beyond help.

Ole Danbolt Mjoes,the committee chairman said,“……before Professor Yunus's scheme,giving loans to poor people without financial collateral had seemed an impossible idea.From modest beginnings three decades ago,Yunus has,first and foremost through the Grameen Bank,developed micro-credit into an evermore important instrument in the struggle against poverty.The Grameen Bank has been a source of ideas and models for the many institutions in the field of micro-credit that have sprung up around the world.”
