Yesterday a school boy is daydreaming in class. Not knowing that he was doing, he put a pen cap into his mouth. A few minutes late, he was terrified to find that he had swallowed it! The teacher was shocking when the boy stood up and said, “I've just swallowed a pen cap.” He was quickly sent the nearest hospital. There a doctor examined him and said the best treatment was to take some medicines so that the pen cap could pass natural. Three hours later the boy successfully made it.“She is really lucky，” said the doctor. “It's not rare that small children put things into their mouths for a fun. It's very danger.”

Consumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma: given limited resources, what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction? Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic (享乐的）gains than material purchases.

The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions. For example, if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth, you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant (生气勃勃), but you're less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day.

Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense. The car you bought is still a car, that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket. It’s more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.

Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy “joyless” material possessions, resulting in comfort but not pleasure. In general, people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase. This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases: hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.

Experience, however, seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons. It is because of the unique nature of experience. It’s more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable. After all, each of our youthful summers is different.

It’s well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events. One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn $50,000 a year while everyone else earns $25,000, instead of earning $100,000 themselves and having other people earn $200,000.

A similar effect is seen for possessions. When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to choose from, it's easy to make unfavourable comparisons between our choice and the others available.

1.An abstract sense in the passage refers to awareness of something __________.

A. you cannot think about

B. you can’ t remember well

C. you cannot understand

D. you cannot see or touch

2.If you make an experiential purchase before a material purchase, you may go to__________.

A. a theatre before going to a store

B. an exhibition before going to a park

C. a mall before going to a grocer's

D. a market before going to a restaurant

3.The example of earnings is given to actually indicate__________.

A. how ridiculous people are B. how people feel content

C. how nearsighted people are D. how people hold prejudice

4. It is implied in the passage that, after their material purchases, people might__________.

A. enjoy their ownership of what they have bought

B. pick every fault in the products they have got

C. regret making a wrong decision to buy the items

D. leave what they’ve purchased untouched at home

Qixi Festival, the Chinese equivalent of Valentine‘s Day that fell yesterday, was not only a disappointment for forgotten lovers, but also for businessmen left with empty pockets．

The cold reception has prompted cultural experts to seriously worry that the lovers‘ festival, marked for generations since the Han Dynasty （206 BC-AD 220），is dying out． Some have even called for legislation to make the festival a legal ―Chinese Lovers‘ Day‖, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar year．

But the effectiveness of such a measure is in doubt, although efforts to preserve traditional festivals deserve highly praise．

A growing number of traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn

Festival, share the same fate of the Qixi Festival．

Young people are showing less interest in traditional culture as symbolized by these festivals． Even if all traditional festivals are finally made legal, the risk of them becoming purely formalized celebrations with little meaning is not removed． If the younger generation fails to identify with the cultural significance of these holidays, there is little that can be done．

While complaining about traditional festivals‘ fading appeal, decision-makers should reflect on cultural protection． Undeniably, our country has done a bad job of preserving culture and traditional festivals, compared to neighbouring Japan and the Republic of Korea（ROK）．

The 2,500-year-old Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month． The traditional customs and ceremonies of the occasion, which originated in China, have been better preserved in the ROK．

Only a few years ago did China begin to realize the significance of preserving intangible（无形的）cultural heritage when the ROK planned to apply to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to list its version of the Dragon Boat Festival as an important example of intangible culture．

Concern about the traditional holidays also reminds people of the growing influence of foreign cultures as the country opens wider to the outside world． With traditional festivals becoming less important and imports such as Christmas and Valentine‘s Day gaining widespread popularity, the public including cultural professionals have tended to measure traditional Chinese festivals in economic terms．

Business rather than culture has begun to play a dominant role． More and more people are preoccupied with how much money can be made during the holidays．

In fact what makes traditional festivals unique and what keeps them alive is their cultural elements． After all, it is unique culture that contributes to the world‘s diversity with globalization．

1.What makes Chinese cultural experts worry that the lovers‘ festival is dying out?

A． The disappointment for both businessmen and lovers．

B． The cold reacting of the public to Qixi Festival．

C． The failure to make traditional Chinese festivals legal．

D． The action to preserve culture and traditional festivals．

2. The public look at the effectiveness of the legalization of the Qixi Festival with a（n） _______ attitude．

A． indifferent B． positive

C． doubtful D． hopeful

3. From Paragraph 5 we can learn that _______．

A． traditional festivals are thought more highly of by the young people．

B． legal celebrations reduce the risk of disappearing of traditional culture．

C． the significance of traditional festivals should be more identified with．

D． young people value traditional culture more while they can do little．

4. It is implied by the writer that traditional Chinese festivals should be measured _______．

A． by legal decision

B． in economic ways

C． by professional rules

D． in cultural terms

5.The writer‘s purpose for writing this article is to _______．

A． remind us that the cultural elements make traditional festivals live on．

B． complain that Japan and ROK do a better job in preserving culture．

C． inform the public of the dying out of traditional Chinese festivals．

D． warn people against business role in celebrating traditional festivals．

—Look at those clouds!

—Don‘t worry． __________ it rains, we‘ll still have a great time．

A． Even if B． In case

C． As though D． If only
