　　Researchers may tell us that spending money on experiences produces more happiness than spending money on things．Going to a bar with friends is always a pleasurable experience．However, on the other hand, a table may also give lots of positive experiences in the future．

　　I just moved from New York City to suburban Pennsylvania．It’s been quite a change of pace, with some advantages and disadvantages．One of the best parts is that I’m spending more time outside．I quite enjoy staying outside, especially eating outside．I had a goal to eat outside as often as possible this summer, so one of my first purchases for the new house was a table and a set of chairs for the yard．

　　Is my yard table a thing or an experience? It’s clearly a thing and yet it enables the experience of eating outside．I love eating outside, and so my yard table is one of my favorite purchases ever．Therefore I find the dividing line between things and experiences is more blurred than at first glance．However, to be happy, the most important thing is what kind of purchases you have made．

　　Sometimes we may all have purchases that seem like a waste of money, like probably half the clothes in our closets, but how does this happen?

　　There are many reasons．The biggest is that we spend a lot of our time working to earn money to buy things．The problem is that we buy a lot of stuff that we don’t actually need．There is nothing worse than looking in your closet and realizing how many hours you spent laboring to buy things you never wear．But how about a table that lets you enjoy being outside in the summer? That’s worth every minute and penny and from it you will also get more happiness．

(1)

What does the writer want to tell about her personal experiences?
[　　]
A．	Her first purchase was very successful．
B．	It is really enjoyable eating outside．
C．	The suburban life in Pennsylvania is good．
D．	Things can also give us a lot of happiness．

(2)

The underlined word “blurred” in the 3^rd paragraph probably means _________．
[　　]
A．	not clear
B．	sharp
C．	quite the same
D．	rather simple

(3)

From the last paragraph we can infer that _________．
[　　]
A．	people spend little time enjoying themselves
B．	the only purpose of work is to buy things
C．	people often spend lots of time buying unnecessary things
D．	everyone can get a lot of happiness from buying a table

(4)

What does the passage mainly talk about?
[　　]
A．	How you can spend your summer time outside．
B．	Why people spend a lot of money on things．
C．	What the best purchase is．
D．	How you can make moving enjoyable．
