27、Time is actually money if you know what to do with it. But too often, putting money ahead of time takes away our happiness. Still, many people are more than willing to make more money at the cost of quality time. For them, money is the final goal. However, if the aim of making money is to find happiness, it’s important to put money in the right things. Many studies show that how you spend your money is as important for happiness as how much money you make.
There is nothing wrong with spending time making money. But when you work hard every single day and make good money, be certain it’s well spent on what will make you happy. If you are in search of happiness, it pays to put your money in valuable, meaningful experiences — like enjoying special meals, gaining skills, taking a class in a hobby you love and going on a hike or an adventure when it’s safe.
For example, if you find it hard to find time for experiences because of your schedule, especially for those of us who have lots of responsibilities on hand, pay some money for time-saving services that can free up some of your time for the experiences you need to enjoy your life. Experiences never disappear but the material things that you buy often do. Learning experiences in life can also help you find satisfaction. Learn to draw, paint, or join a swimming class, through which you not only get fun and skills but also gain valuable experiences. Remember: happy people buy more experiences and fewer material things.
All in all, buying things brings the kind of happiness that, however, disappears quickly and leaves us wanting more. The memories that stay are what matter most. Therefore, just put your money in experiences that add color, meaning and happiness to your life.
【1】To get happiness, what’s the most important to do according to Paragraph 1?
A.Putting money ahead of time.
B.Making money at the cost of time.
C.Spending money on the right things.
D.Making as much money as possible.
【2】How can we find happiness if we’re too busy?
A.Ignore the busy schedule.
B.Buy some time-saving services.
C.Carry out our responsibilities first.
D.Prevent experiences from disappearing.
【3】Which of the following probably brings you the least happiness?
A.Buying a coat.
B.Learning to drive.
C.Travelling abroad.
D.Taking piano lessons.
【4】What’s the author’s goal in writing this passage?
A.To guide readers to make good money wisely.
B.To request readers to use money to save time.
C.To tell readers to find happiness by making money.
D.To advise readers to deal with money and happiness properly.
【5】Which part of a magazine is this passage probably taken from?
