19.According to researchers,money can buy happiness,but only if you spend it on someone else.Spending as little as 5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness,the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found.Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably(适度地)happier when they spent money on others---even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier."We wanted to test our theory that how peoplespend their money is at least asi mportant as how much money they earn,"said Elizabeth Dunn,a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness,report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills,gifts for themselves,giftsfor others and donations to charity(慈善机构)."Regardless of how much income each person made,those who spent money on others reported greater happiness,while those who spent more on themselves did not,"Dunn said in a statement.Dunn's team also surveyed(调查)16 employees at acompany in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharingbonus(奖金)of between3,000 and 8,000."Employeeswho devoted more of their bonus to pro-social(有益社会的)spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus,and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor(预示)oftheir happiness than the size of the bonus itself,"they wrote in their report,published in the journal Science.They gave their volunteers 5 or20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it.Those who spentthe money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it."These findings suggest that veryminor alterations(改动)in spending allocations(分配)---as little as $5---may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,"Dunn said.

One day I asked him how he did it.Kevin replied,"Each morning I say to myself,‘Kevin,you have two choices today.You can choose to be in a good mood or in a bad mood.'I choose to be in a good mood.Each time something bad (43)A,I can choose to be a (an)(44)B or to learn from it.I choose to learn from it."

Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb-an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in34,000cities and it has 800,000listings of rooms and apartments.(37)A
A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark's founder,Anthony Eskinazi,says,"when I had the original idea.I spotted a driveway close to a spots stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial car park."(38)DAround 20,000people have advertised their spaces on the website,and he says around half a million drivers use it.
(39)EThey are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks.They are afraid of ending up losing money.
(40)C Regulations for these new businesses are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbour?Because this is a new business world,those rules aren't there yet.
A.They seem to have occupied the majority of the market. B.Both of these can help you make money. C.And there is another problem. D.And his great idea has proved a success. E.But the new business of renting has its competitors. F.There are many ways to earn money. G.A commercial car park is inconvenient. |
A. | amused | B. | entertained | C. | crowded | D. | disturbed |
A.Train conflict-management B.Teach mutual respect C.Guide children by personal examples D.Recognize the existence of sibling conflict E.Show appreciation for who your child is F.Do not play favorites |
77.Do not allow your children to insult one another.Words are extremely powerful,and snide comments can damage deeply.Experts say every negative comment needs at least five positive remarks to even out.Teach your children to be kind and to appreciate each other.Encourage your kids to see each other's talents.Through recognizing these unique strengths,they will be able to work together well.B
78.Sibling rivalry usually originates from a child feeling that the other sibling is loved more,and in some cases when parents are being substantively unfair or show favoritism toward one child,this indeed may be the problem.In Genesis,we see the damage done by Jacob's favoritism of Joseph.Remember that all children are created equal,but not all children are the same.Recognize and praise each child's individual skills,strengths and accomplishments without implying that one child is somehow better.Be sure each child receives adequate parental interest and quality time.F
79.Do not deny your child's feelings,but help him learn to express emotions in an appropriate way.If you see your child acting jealously,encourage him to identify the emotion by saying,"I understand that you feel bad because…"or"I know you hurt because…"Helping your children figure out the causes of their actions will help them learn how to deal with problems in the future.A
80.Most parents realize children imitate what they see,so look at the example you set.Do you compete with your siblings?Or do you consistently show kindness to your brothers and sisters?By checking your actions,you can be better prepared to show your children how to emerge the best of friends following the inevitability of a little sibling conflict.C.
