5.It is generally believed that money can't buy happiness.However,that may not be always true.According to a recent article,in the last few years,new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel.Broadly speaking,people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by.But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face.(33)B1.Buy experiences,not material goods.
In a recently published study,Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US,found that when people don't have much money to spare,they tend to stick to material goods.(34)E But they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.
2.(35)C

3.Be sure to buy time.
(36)G For example,that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea,but a 2014study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way reported lower life satisfaction,all other things being equal.
