第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
Research has shown that people tend to get more happiness from spending their money on experiences, such as travel and entertainment, than on things like clothes and electronic products.But are people happier during the purchased experience itself? Or does the happiness come more from expecting or remembering the experience?
A new study, published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, offers an answer.Our experimental purchases not only bring us greater pleasure in terms of expectation and remembrance than do our material (物质的) purchases, but they also bring us greater in-the-moment enjoyment, the study found.
For the study, the researchers recruited (招募) 2,635 adults who agreed to receive texts at any time during the day.The texts began with a happiness question, which asked the participants to tell how they felt “right now”, ranging from very bad to very good.Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour, such as clothing or electronic goods.The others were asked if they had made an experimental purchase within the past hour, such as eating in a restaurant or attending a concert.
The researchers found that the purchasers of the experiences express higher levels of happiness than the purchasers of the material goods, no matter how much the purchases cost.
To deal with possible differences in types of purchasers, the researchers carried out a second study in which they researched more than 5,000 adults.“We still found the same result,” said Amit Kumar, the study's lead author (发起人).
“If you want to be happier, it might be wise toshift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more towards experiences,” Kumar said.“That would probably lead to greater happiness.”
