21、 Despite the countless differences between people’s characters and careers, or their likes and their dislikes, it seems that we are all connected in this wonderful life by one thing: namely, seeking happiness.
Happiness means, naturally, different things to different people. For myself, happiness is synonymous（同义的）with horse riding, Cadbury’s Creme Eggs and spending time with my friends. Some people are at their happiest at home, while others find their happiness through travelling far-off foreign lands. Happiness can be as simple as a surprise bunch of fresh flowers or a really strong coffee, just when you need it most. Sometimes, happiness comes from spending time with loved ones; for others, it’s having a well-earned quiet night at home, with nothing but a comfortable bed for company.
Since it comes in so many shapes and sizes, it’s sometimes easy to take happiness for granted. It is especially true if it’s been “one of those days”. Maybe you overslept, missed the bus and had to walk to school in the rain, only to be told that you were late. Or perhaps, because of work, you had to cancel plans with friends, despite looking forward to seeing them for ages. Forgotten keys, delayed flights, an argument with your parents, illness or injury... all very frustrating, and understandably guaranteed to make you feel unhappy.
Luckily, there are a few simple, scientifically proven ways to make the glass seem half-full again. To start with, things like trying out cycling or walking instead of driving to work and listening to music are great moodboosters（情绪助推器）. Volunteering and getting involved with a charity are two ways in which you can become happier through helping others. Last, but certainly not least, try hugging your way to happiness; it’s been suggested that we humans need a minimum（最少的）of five hugs a day. If you’ve been having a bad day, there’s nothing better than a good old bear-hug.

23、 Faced with a decreasing population and workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the robots have been used to perform a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care and company for the elderly. The latest addition to the Japanese “workforce” may be Model-T. This seven-foot-tall robot is currently undergoing trials restocking sandwiches, drinks, and ready meals on shelves at select locations of local convenience store chains Lawson and FamilyMart.
Model-T, whose face unclearly resembles that of a kangaroo, is certainly not the first restocking robot. However, the warehouse robots currently being used by companies are only able to accomplish single, repetitive tasks, such as stacking boxes. Model-T, on the other hand, has a wide range of movement and can be used to restock objects of various sizes, making it perfect for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items.
Named after the classic Ford Motor car, Model-T is not autonomous. Instead, it is operated by human “pilots” wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset and special gloves, which allow them to feel the product the robot is holding in their hands and guide it to the right shelf. Telexistence, the company behind Model-T, says the VR-controlled robots are easier to develop and maintain. They are also ten times cheaper than autonomous robots, which require complex programming.
Model-T’s easy-to-use controls require little training and can be operated from a remote location. Tomohiro Kano, a general manager, believes this capability will enable the chain to employ employees who would typically not work in stores. “There are about 1.6 mllion people in Japan who, for various reasons, show no interest in job hunting,” Kano said.
Though Model-T appears to be breezing through the trials, it is not quite ready to enter the labor force. Besides being a lot slower than human stockers, it is also only capable of lifting packaged items, and cannot grasp loose items such as fruits and vegetables. Telexistence hopes to introduce a faster Model-T within the next two years.
【1】Where does Model-T mainly differ from other robots?
A．It is designed to do tasks repetitively.
B．It can perform various actions.
C．It is in the shape of a kangaroo.
D．It can work all by itself.
【2】What can we infer about Model-T?
A．It needs training to work.
B．It can feel the products.
C．It is simply programmed.
D．It wears special gloves to work.
【3】How does Tomohiro find some Japanese people?
A．They are usually lazy at work.
B．They find excuses for not working.
C．They prefer being employed at stores.
D．They lack enthusiasm for finding jobs.
【4】What does the last paragraph focus on?
A．Model-T’s limitations.
B．Model-T’s bright future.
C．Model-T’s practical uses.
D．Model-T’s trail results.
24、 In the time of weak job and housing markers. Consumers are saving less than they have in decades and industry professionals expect that trend to continue. Consumers saved 6.4 percent of their after-tax in-come in June. Before the recession, the rate was 1 to 2 percent for many years. In June, consumer spending and personal incomes were essentially flat compared with May, suggesting that the American economy, as dependent as it is on shoppers opening their wallets and purses, isn't likely to rebound anytime soon.
On the bright side, the practices that consumers have adopted in response to the economic crisis ultimately could make them happier. New studies of consumption and happiness show, for instance, that people are happier when they spend money on experiences instead of material objects, when they relish what they plan to buy long before they buy it, and when they stop trying to outdo the Joneses.
If consumers end up sticking with their newfound spending habits, some tactics(策略) that retailers and marketers began using during the recession could become lasting business strategies. Among those strategies are offering goods that makes being at home more entertaining and trying to make consumers feel special by giving them access to exclusive events and more personal customer service.
While the current round of stinginess may simply be a response to the economic downturn, some analysts say consumers may also be permanently adjusting their spending based on what they've discovered about what truly makes them happy or fulfilled.
“This actually is a topic that hasn't been researched very much until recently,” says Elizabeth W. Dunn, an associate professor in the psychology department at the University of British Columbia, who is at the forefront of research on consumption and happiness. There's massive literature on in come and happiness. It's amazing how little there is on how to spend your money.
Studies over the last few decades have shown that money, up to a certain point, makes people happier because it lets them meet basic needs. The latest round of research is. for lack of a better term, all about emotional efficiency: how to reap the most happiness for your dollar.
So just where does happiness reside for consumers? Scholars and researchers haven't determined whether Armani will put a bigger smile on your face than Dolce & Gabbana. But they have found that our types of purchases, their size and frequency, and even the timing of the spending all affect long-term happiness.
One major finding is that spending money for an experience - concert tickets, French less orris, sushi-rolling classes, a hotel room in Monaco - produces longer-lasting satisfaction than spending money on plain old stuff.
“It’s better to go on a vacation than buy a new couch is basically the idea,” says Professor Dunn.
Thomas DeLeire, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin discovered that the only category to be positively related to happiness was leisure: vacations, entertainment, sports and equipment like golf clubs and fishing poles.
【1】What's the dark side of American consumers’ saving more and spending less?
A.The job and housing markets will become even weaker.
B.There is little hope that the American economy will recover soon.
C.More and more retailers and marketers will have to go bankrupt.
D.It’s possible that the American economy will rebound sooner.
【2】What will happen if customers keep their spending habits formed in the economic downturn?
A.They will get goods and services much cheaper.
B.It's likely that they spend more time indoors.
C.Retailers will change their business strategies.
D.They will enjoy better services and experiences.
【3】What surprises Elizabeth W Dunn according to the passage?
A.There is little about how to spend money to make people happy.
B.Consumers unconsciously adjust their spending habits to be happy.
C.People started researches on con sumption-happiness relation ship so early.
D.Happiness is proved to have nothing to do with consumption.
【4】Scholars such as Prof. Dunn and Prof. DeLeire agree that ______
A.richer people feel happier and more satisfied
B.most consumers prefer leading brands like Armani
C.spending on vacations brings long-term happiness
D.people should curb their spending on material thing
