Text 1 What would you do with 590m 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 for tune 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 “HappyMoney” 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。 According to Dumn and Norton,which of the following is the most rewarding purchase
A big house
B. A special tour
C. A stylish car
D. A rich meal
Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 arebased on the following passage:The first year of school in America, knownas kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among richcountries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; hiseducation secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morally wrong".This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poorfamilies enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantagethat usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered1,116.(76) Pre-school can help close this gap. So in aspeech last month, Mr. Obama called for apartnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to everyAmerican child. It later became known that "every" meant those whocome from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal toan income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20thnew results were announced from a study of 9tol1yearolds in New Jersey. Thisreport found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre.school had betterliteracy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre.kindergartenwere better than one.Some studies also follow the effects ofearly learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and otherfactors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965,which provides poor households with a range of services including school.basedearly education. Which of the following is an appropriate title forthis passage()
A. Secondary Education
B. Pre-school Education
C. Poor Kids’ Education
D. Rich Kids’Education
