训练7 阅读理解+完形填空+语法填空+短文改错 (建议用时45分钟) .阅读理解 If your parents were to surprise you with a present on your birthday,which one would you prefer,a trip to the amusement park or a new pair of shoes? According to Science Daily,about one-third of the people are likely to prefer shoes to a fun trip.These people are called “materialists”,namely,those who value material goods more than experiences.But which of the two choices makes people happier? Back in 2009,Ryan Howell,a professor at San Francisco State University,found that in the long run,experiences make people happier than possessions.This is because the joy of receiving a new object fades over time as you get used to seeing it every day.Experiences,on the other hand,can continue to bring you joy in the future through happy memories. But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something,shouldn’t they? To figure it out,Howell did another study.He classified a group of adults according to their personality types,ranging from less materialistic to more materialistic.Each person was asked different questions to see how they felt about spending money on material goods versus spending money on experiences. As expected,the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic,because such purchases didn’t fit with their personalities and values.But to Howell’s surprise,he found that materialists weren’t any happier even if they spent money on material items. This is because materialists worry that others may criticize or look down on their choices.“There are certain value systems that are rejected by society,” said Howell.“When we find out someone is materialistic,we think less of them,and that drives their happiness down.” Another reason is that materialistic people always focus on what they don’t have instead of what they have now.This makes them feel less satisfied and grateful. If you happen to be a materialistic person,there’s something you can try.“If materialists
