15、 Memories Times When Dad Trying to Make Up for Things(3)We have to make certain our limited money is well spent. But what should we spend our money on? A 20-year study conducted by Dr. Gilovich, a professor at Cornell University, reached a powerful and straightforward conclusion: don't spend you
16、r money on things.The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide peters out. We get used to new possessions, and what once seemed exciting quickly becomes the norm. We keep raising the bar and always look for an even better one. Possessions, by their nature, cause comparisons. We buy a n
17、ew car and are thrilled with it until a friend buys a better one and there's always someone with a better one. Most of us usually assume that the happiness we get from buying something will last as long as the thing itself. It seems intuitive (直觉的) that investing in something we can see, hear, a
18、nd touch on a permanent basis delivers the best value. But it's not the case at all.Gilovich has found that experiences deliver more-lasting happiness than things. Experiences become a part of our identity. Everyone's experience is unique. We are not our possessions, but we are the accumulat
19、ion of everything weve seen, the things weve done, and the places weve been to. “Our experiences are a bigger part of ourselves than our material goods,” said Gilovich. “You can really like your material stuff. You can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things, but they rema
20、in separate from you. In contrast, your experiences really are part of you. We are the sum total of our experiences.”Besides, we don't compare experiences in the same way that we compare things. Its hard to quantify the relative value of any two experiences, which makes them that much more enjoy
21、able. And expectation of an experience causes excitement and enjoyment, while expectation of obtaining a possession causes impatience. Experiences are enjoyable from the very first moments of planning, all the way through to the memories you keep forever. The temporary happiness achieved by buying t
22、hings can be regarded as “puddles of pleasure”. In other words, that kind of happiness evaporates quickly and leaves us wanting more. Things may last longer than experiences, but the memories that remain are what matter most.8. Which one can replace the underlined words in paragraph 2?A. Dies away.B
23、. Is too little.C. Is not realD. Costs too much.9. What does Gilovich think of experiences?A. Experiences deliver less-lasting happiness than things.B. Experiences can exist in our memory forever.C. Our experiences take up all parts of ourselves.D. Our experiences are what separate us from others.10
24、. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Spiritual wealth is of great value to us.B. Experiences can be compared with each otherC. Expecting an experience increases our feeling of anxiety.D. People are more likely to be impatient when buying things.11. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. How
25、can we gain happiness with money?B. How can we make happiness last long?C. Why should we spend money on experiences instead of things?D. Why do experiences achieve permanent happiness than things?(4)When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear
