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．

5．My friend，Emma Daniels，spent the summer of 1974traveling in Israel．During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup．It was run by two men，one of whom-Alex-used to live in Montreal．One morning when Emma went in for coffee，while chatting with her new friend Alex，she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read．Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like，and that he'd be happy to lend it to her．As he lived just above the café，he quickly ran up to get it．The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings，a book by a former Secretary-General of the United Nations （UN）．
Emma had never read it，nor had she ever bought a copy．But，when she opened it up，she was flooored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting．It turned out that the summer before，at a concert back in Montreal，Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends．They decided to exchange addresses，but neither of them had any paper．The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack（背包） and asked Emma to write her name and address inside．When he returned toCalifornia，he left the book behind in Montreal，and his friend Alex kept it．When Alex later moved to Jerusalem，he took the book along．

1．The first owner of the book with Emma's name in it is probablyAlex'sCalifornianfriend/Alex'sfriendfromCalifornia/Alex'sfriend-aCalifornian．（within 5words）
2．The underlined sentence indicates that Emma feltsurprised/astonished/puzzled/confused when she opened the book．（ with one word）
3．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2．（with one word）California
4．Where did Emma write herAt a concert in Montreal
5．For what purpose did the Californian go to Montreal？（within 8words）
name and address inside the book？（within 8words）Hewenttheretovisitfriends．/Tovisitfriends．

12．The umbrella is a poor ________ from heavy rain．（　　）

2．You can't imagine what difficult we had _______ home in the snowstorm．（　　）

9．Scientists are trying their best to find effective ways to prevent people from suffering from SARS．

6．They are still sitting on the sofa，absorbed （absorb） in conversation．

7．There is a problem discussed by people about whether parents should hit their children？Or should they ever beat them？
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no"，and public support for spanking（打屁股）has been falling over the years．But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once．
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect，and my parents often turned to physical punishment．And，no，I don't feel I was damaged by it．
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children．
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer．
Two years ago，Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents u sed physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive．
Murray Straus，professor at the University of New Hampshire in America，has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades．He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers．It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked，but the punishment may have been counterproductive（反作用的）to their mental development，as well．
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks（用巴掌打）on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit．
Last year，Marjorie Gunnoe，a psychologist at Calvin College，studied teens who have never been spanked．There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished．Gunnoe's research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked．
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers（脾气）．But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment．

A．they were dissatisfied with her grade
B．they cannot control their temper
C．she showed no respect for the elder

30．According to Murray Straus，children who are physically punishedB．
A．are less aggressive toward others when they get older
B．may develop lower IQs than their peers
C．benefit from occasional spanking
D．have slower physical development
31．The author seems to agree thatA．
A．good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way
B．children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven't
C．physical punishment should be the last resort （手段）of any parent
D．parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or not．
