9．First we'll put you as anassistant （assist） to an experienced journalist．Later you can cover a story and submit the article yourself．
6．After a terrible electrical accident，which caused him to become both blind and deaf，the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life．His family，especially his wife，did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live．
One hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once．He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning．Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree．He was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he could hardly believe what he saw--a plough and a wall．When Mrs Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread，and many doctors came to examine him．Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning．However，none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of sudden shock，perhaps，the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock．

8．Ever since the global economic recession（ 萧条） began in 2008，many Americans have changed their lifestyles by downsizing what they buy and what they possess．
Tammy Strobel and her husband used to own a two-bedroom apartment，two cars and had good incomes．But Tammy wasn't happy．Inspired by a web site，they began donating some of their belongings to charity，and eventually got rid of their cars．Some thought they were crazy，but now they feel much happier．Without debt and working fewer hours，now they have more time to be outdoors and to volunteer．
"The idea that you need to go bigger to be happy is false，"Ms．Strobel says．"I really believe that the acquisition of material goods doesn't bring about happiness．"
Despite the fact that the economy is not as booming as it was，studies have shown that many are feeling happier as they save more and spend less．This mainly happens when they spend money on experiences instead of material objects and when they relish（喜爱）what they plan to buy long before they buy it．
It is true that extra cash always makes life a little easier because it lets people meet basic needs．But scholars have found that 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 lessons，sushi-rolling classes---produces longer-lasting satisfaction．
At the height of the recession in 2008，consumers were doing something different---vacationing in their yards，eating more dinners at home，organizing family game nights．As a result，these leisure activities appeared to make them less lonely and increased their interactions with others．
"I think people are realizing they don't need what they had．They're more interested in creating memories，"says a scholar．
To stop purchasing things using credit cards at any time brings happiness，too；in other words，waiting for something and working hard to get it makes it feel more valuable and more stimulating．In fact，scholar have found that anticipation increases happiness．Considering buying an i-Pad？You might want to think about it as long as possible before taking one home．
Ms．Strobel is now an advocate（拥护者） of simple living．"My lifestyle now would not be possible if I still had a huge two-bedroom apartment filled to the gills（完全满了）with stuff，two cars，and 30 grand（一千美元） in debt，"she says．"Give away some of your stuff，"she advises．"See how it feels．"
56．What did Ms Strobel and her husband do to change their life？D
a．Donated their things to charity．b．Changed their jobs．
c．Got rid of their cars．d．Spent more time outdoors．
A．a，b，c          B．b，c，d          C．a，b，d          D．a，c，d
57．Which of the following is not a purchase of experience？C
A．Enroll in a French course．
B．Learn how to make Japanese sushi．
C．Get a new Mac．
D．Go to a concert．
58．It is true that moneyD
A．always makes people happier        
B．enables people to work fewer hours
C．makes one a better volunteer        
D．helps people to meet their basic needs
59．Purchase of experience can make people feel happier becauseA
A．They increase the interaction between people
B．They are more economical than material goods
C．They are unique and can't be obtained again
D．They make the participant smarter
60．Why does stopping using a credit card to buy anything at any time bring happiness？B
A．Because one has to pay for interest by using a credit card．
B．Because the process of saving money and waiting for the thing you want makes it feel more valuable．
C．Because it helps stop buying things one actually doesn't need
D．Because as one waits，he/she often finds something better to buy．
