  • 21、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 your 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 new 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, and 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 accumulation of everything we’ve seen, the things we’ve done, and the places we’ve 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 remain 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. It’s hard to quantify the relative value of any two experiences, which makes them that much more enjoyable. 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 things 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.

    【1】Which one can replace the underlined words in paragraph 2?

    A.Dies away.

    B.Is too little.

    C.Is not real.

    D.Costs too much.

    【2】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.

    【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

    A.Spiritual wealth is of great value to us.

    B.Experiences can be compared with each other.

    C.Expecting an experience increases our feeling of anxiety.

    D.People are more likely to be impatient when buying things.

    【4】Which is the main idea of the passage?

    A.How 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?

  • 22、A recent study by University of Delaware researchers suggests exercise can help kids to learn and remember vocabulary. The article, published in the Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research, details one of the first studies on the effect of exercise on vocabulary learning in children.

    Children ages 6 to 12 were taught new words before doing one of three things- swimming , taking part in CrossFit exercises or completing a coloring sheet. The children who swam were 13% more accurate in follow-up tests of the vocabulary words.

    It makes sense to the lead researcher, Maddy Pruitt, herself a former college swimmer. “Motor movement helps in learning new words,” she said, explaining that exercise is known to increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(脑衍生神经营养因子).Then why did swimming make a difference while CrossFit did not? Pruitt attributes(归因) it to the amount of energy each exercise demands of the brain. Swimming is an activity the kids could complete without much thought or instruction. It was more automatic, while the CrossFit exercises were new to them. The children needed to learn the moves, which required mental energy.

    Pruitt conducted the research as part of her Master s Capstone Project and graduated in 2020. She now works as a speech-language pathologist (病理学家) at a primary school in South Carolina, where she puts her findings into practice.

    “My sessions are very rarely at a table,” she said. “I’ll take my kids out to the playground or we’ll take a walk around the school.”

    Pruitt’s adviser and coauthor Giovanna Morini is building on the findings in her lab. Morini said most research into exercise examined it from the angle of a healthy lifestyle, not much entering the area of language acquisition.

    “We are so excited about this study because it applies to clinicians, caregivers and educators who can put it into practice, Morini said.” It’s simple stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. But it could help boost the outcomes.

    【1】What were all the children asked to do in the study?

    A.Complete vocabulary tests.

    B.Teach others new words.

    C.Identify different colors.

    D.Share swimming skills.

    【2】What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3?

    A.The way of the study.

    B.The subject of the study.

    C.The applications of the findings.

    D.The reasons for the study result.

    【3】How does Pruitt put her findings into practice?

    A.By setting up clinics with other researchers.

    B.By training the students to swim regularly.

    C.By adding physical exercise to her sessions.

    D.By asking the students to learn complex words.

    【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

    A.Kids Are Supposed to Exercise Before Studying

    B.Exercise Contributes to Kids’ Vocabulary Growth

    C.Swimming Does Good to People’s Physical Health

    D.Research Should Be Done on Language Acquisition

  • 23、In 1992, I had just launched a new business called Video News International.

    It was the world's first video journalist network. The idea was to cover news and sell the service to news organizations.

    One day, a young intern (实习生) who was working for us named Anthony Lappe pulled me aside.

    "There is something you have to see," he told me. "Comcast is doing this really cool thing."

    "What?"

    "The Internet," he said. "It's going to be really big."

    Anthony later introduced me to the head of the Internet project.

    "We are looking for content to put on our network here," the guy said to me.

    Well, I said I had lots of content to offer.

    The guy's eyes lit up. "Cool," he said. "We would like to put it on our network."

    Well, I was always looking for new clients.

    "What are you going to pay?" I asked.

    He said that they could not pay anything for the content, but they would set up a URL for me.

    "What's that?" I asked.

    "It's kind of like your address on the web."

    "What would I do with this URL thing?"

    "Well, it could be your business."

    "I don't see how it is a business, and there's not even any advertising," I cleverly replied.

    "Not yet," he said. "But one day there might be."

    I thought about it for two seconds.

    "Naah..." I said. "I've got bigger fish to fry. I've got to be going now. Maybe we can cooperate next time."

    And I walked out.

    Idiot!

    Well, that Internet thing turned out to be so much bigger than I had thought. I wish I had never made such a mistake. Sorry Anthony. You were right.

    【1】The head of the Internet project expected the author to _______.

    A. become a user of their product

    B. put advertisements on their web

    C. provide video news for their network

    D. get an email address from the Internet

    A. didn't think it a good deal

    B. was unwilling to trust a stranger

    C. was too occupied to start a new business

    D. was worried about the safety of e-business

    【3】What does the underlined sentence mean?

    A. I don't believe your words.

    B. I ought to cook dinner now.

    C. I need to get more payment.

    D. I have something more important to do.

    【4】Which of the following can be the best title for this text?

    B. Never Too Old to Learn

    C. My Biggest Mistake Ever

    D. Building a Business Partnership
