Think twice about that new iPhone, as science now says that you’d be better off paying for an experience that lasts a little while rather than an object that lasts longer. The idea that buying experiences is more satisfying than buying material things has been expressed for a long time by Cornell psychology professor Thomas Gilovich. In a recent _53_ of Psychological Science, Gilovich and psychologist Matthew Killingsworth, along with Cornell doctoral candidate ( 博 士 研 究 生 ) Amit Kumar, supported the current understanding that spending money on experiences provides more _54_ happiness, both before and after the purchase is made. You can think about waiting for a delicious meal at a nice restaurant or looking forward to a vacation, Kumar said. And how different that feels from waiting for, say, your pre-ordered iPhone to arrive. You might also compare the bad behavior of people who are waiting in line to buy material items and the better behavior of those who are waiting for a concert. People might talk to each other about what songs the band is going to play, for example, so there is opportunity to connect with other people. We know that social interaction is important in human happiness, so it’s going to be a much better experience, said Kumar. Research has also found that people tend to be more generous to others when they’ve just thought about the purchase of an experience as _55_ to a material purchase. They’re also more likely to take part in social activities. What is it about imagining experiences that’s different from thinking about future material purchases? Well, one interesting idea says that you can imagine all sorts of possibilities for what an experience is going to be. That’s what’s fun, Kumar said. It could turn out a whole_56_ of ways. With a material purchase, you know what you’re going to get. People just think: Give it to me now. A good plan for getting the most out of purchasing an experience may be to plan it far in advance. Thinking about it for days, weeks or even years only makes the experience more valuable. So it may also be time to stop those impulse (冲动) _57_ if you want to be happy. 参考答案： 5357 AC AB A C B 三、 阅读理解 19. 阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。 In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world. This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved. As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these ecosystem services far outweigh the gains from exploitation. Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, and there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others. I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm. This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking. 67. John Sauven holds that_. A. many people value nature too much B. exploitation of wildernesses is harmful C. wildernesses provide humans with necessities D. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong 68. What is the main idea of Para. 3? A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people. B. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation. C. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials. D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally. 69. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate? A. Sceptical. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Optimistic. 70. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
