【例题】2014年英语二Text 1 Q.22.
Text 1
What would you do with 590 million? This is now a question for Gloria
Mackenzie, an 84-year-old widow who recently emerged from her small, tin-roofed
house in Florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history. If
she hopes her new-found fortune will yield lasting feelings of fulfillment, she
could do worse than read Happy Money by Elizabeth Dumn and Michael Norton.
These two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the
most rewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive. Fantasies of great
wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes. Yet
satisfaction with these material purchases wears off fairly quickly, what was
once exciting and new becomes old-hat; regret creeps in. It is far better to
spend money on experiences, say Ms Dumn and Mr Norton, like interesting trips,
unique meals or even going to the cinema. These purchases often become more
valuable with time - as stories or memories - particularly if they involve
feeling more connected to others.
This slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lottery
winners get the most"happiness bang for your buck." It seems most people would
be better off if they could shorten their commutes to work, spend more time with
friends and family and less of it watching television (something the average
American spends a whopping two months a year doing, and is hardly jollier for
it). Buying gifts or giving to charity is often more pleasurable than purchasing
things for oneself, and luxuries are most enjoyable when they are consumed
sparingly. This is apparently the reason MacDonald's restricts the availability
of its popular McRib - a marketing trick that has turned the pork sandwich into
an object of obsession.
Readers of “Happy Money”are clearly a privileged lot, anxious about
fulfillment, not hunger. Money may not quite buy happiness, but people in
wealthier countries are generally happier than those in poor ones. Yet the link
between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and
poor people around the world, and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things
for most people. Not everyone will agree with the authors’ policy ideas, which
range from mandating more holiday time to reducing tax incentives for American
homebuyers. But most people will come away from this book believing it was money
well spent.
22. The author’s attitude toward Americans’ watching TV is________.
critical supportive sympathetic ambiguous
