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。 Macrib is mentioned in paragraph 3 to show that

Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on thefollowing passage:When the United States Congress createdYellowstone National Park in 1872, the goal was to set aside a place whereAmericans could enjoy the beauty of nature for years to come. Now, 142 years later, there are hundreds of national parks across thecountry, and technology is changing the way people experience them. Should parkvisitors be able to use cell phones, or should their use be restricted"Connectivity presents a realchallenge to all of us." Al Nash says. He is apublic affairs officer at Yellowstone National Park. He says cell phone serviceat Yellowstone is available in parts of the park with stores and campgrounds.This makes it easy for visitors to share photos of their trip on socialnetworking sites and to stay in touch with friends and family members. (80) If a nark visitor is hurt or in danger, cell phones make it easier to get help. Some say the ability to download applications that provide information aboutplants and animals in the park can enrich a visitor’s experience.Others say cell phones disturb people’senjoyment of our national parks. In their view, cell phone towers are aneyesore, and they’d rather hear the sound of birds than the ring of an incomingcall. Can you imagine looking out a peaceful lake or field of grass only to bedisturbed by a person shouting into their phone, "Can you hear menow" Nash says Yellowstone tries to strike abalance. "Ultimately, our job is to let visitors understand and enjoynature better while protecting what people find special about Yellowstone, andone of those things that’s special is the ability to get away from the hustleand bustle (喧嚣) of one’s daily life."
