Following a budget, saving money and shopping less have benefits “beyond the bound of personal finance”， according to a new study out of the University of Arizona. For the study, researchers collected data from 968 young adults born between the years 1981 and 1996, starting when they were freshmen in college (ages 1821). They followed up with the same students when they were seniors, and then two years later (ages 2326). The study participants answered questions about materialism, their own personal finance strategies such as budgeting and any proenvironmental habits they followed. Students were also surveyed about their mental health, including how satisfied they were with their lives and how they'd rank their personal wellbeing. “People who save money report better overall wellbeing, including less psychological pain，”Sabrina Helm, study author tells CNBC Make It. “And people who buy less and consume less show less depressive symptoms, so there's a positive mental health effect.” Not surprisingly, the moneysaving strategies improved people's financial satisfaction too. “It gives you peace of mind.”Dr. Helm says. “If you're able to put something aside for worse days, and manage to live within your means, it has clear positive effects on mental health.” Certain sustainability efforts also have a similar impact on people's health and happiness. For example, researchers found that the students who consumed less to help the environment were happier than those who simply bought more “green” products.

D．Consumption. 7．Which is the best title for the text? A．How Can You Keep Mentally Healthy B．Saving Money Improves Financial Satisfaction C．Millennials Who Buy Less and Save More Are Happier D．Consumers' Shopping Habits Contribute to Climate Change 【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章介绍了一个新的研究结果表明，采用积极财务策略以调整自己的购买习惯的“千禧一代”不仅更能合理规划自己的财务支出，其带来的好处更是与个人身心健康等有关。 4．答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，研究者从1981年至1996年这15年间一直在追踪同一批受试者，通过询问、调查等具体方式收集数据。故选B。 5．答案与解析：D　推理判断题。根据第三段“‘People who save money report better overall well­being...’”Sabrina Helm所说的话可知，存钱的人总体上更幸福，消费很少、节约钱的人在身心方面相对会更健康。由此推知Sabrina Helm会赞成“一个人的财务策略相对来说会影响整体的幸福”这一说法。故选D。 6．答案与解析：C　词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“solutions (解决方法)”和“reducing the number of things you use or buy (减少使用或购买物品的数量)”可知，“tactic”应为“方法，策略”之意，故选C。 7．答案与解析：C　主旨大意题。由文章第一段可得出，本文主要讲的是“千禧一代”遵循预算，多存钱、少购物能提升他们生活的幸福感和满意度。所以C “少买多存的‘千禧一代’更快乐”是文章最佳标题，故选C。 Ⅱ.完形填空 [2024·重庆市期中考试]William was one of my students.

And those that did had never gotten so tall.”可知，学生种的向日葵，有的发芽了，有的没发芽，所以结果各不相同。故选A项。 6．答案与解析：B　根据下文的“It took too long to see results from daily watering”和“most kids lost __7__ and interest”可知，维持向日葵生长就不那么令人兴奋了。故选B项。 7．答案与解析：C　根据上文的“It took too long to see results from daily watering”可知，要看到结果，需要长期坚持每天浇水，所以大部分孩子失去了耐心。故选C项。 8．答案与解析：D　由上一句的“most kids lost __7__ and interest.”可知，他们忘了照顾他们的向日葵。故选D项。 9．答案与解析：B　由上一句“But not William.”可知，威廉和其他的孩子不一样，他没有忘记照顾向日葵，每天下午都给它们浇水。故选B项。 10．答案与解析：C　由下文的“In years past, few seeds successfully produced new shoots. And those that did had never gotten so tall.”可知，其他孩子种的向日葵很少能成功地长出新芽，但威廉种的向日葵长出来幼苗。故选C项。 11．答案与解析：D　因为下文提到“In years past, few seeds successfully produced new shoots.”，其他很多孩子没做到的，威廉做到了，所以作者很惊讶。故选D项。 12．答案与解析：B　由上一句“And those that did had never gotten so tall.”和本句的but可知，威廉的向日葵和其他人的不同。故选B项。 13．答案与解析：A　由文章第一句“William was one of my students.”知道，作者是老师，根据威廉的特点因人施教，让其成长，这就是当老师的意义。故选A项。 14．答案与解析：D　文章第一段提到“After the mid­term test, William's __1__ showed no sign of improvement.”开始作者是为威廉担心的，但是通过种向日葵这件事让作者看到威廉的兴趣和特长，作者看到他体内种下了一颗特殊的种子“I'd seen that special seed planted inside him.”。所以作者知道不必为他担心。故选D项。 15．答案与解析：C　根据上文提到的他体内种下了特殊的种子“that special seed planted inside him”和下文的“just like his sunflowers”可知，有一天他会像种子一样开始成长。故选C项。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
