Minimalism(极简主义)is ht, culturally, and fr years, science has assured us that it was als the path t the greatest happiness. The ppular wisdm is that peple wh want the mst happiness fr their mney shuld buy experiences, nt things. The idea is that jy f an experience begins befre it even starts, and cntinues when yu lk back n the fancy dinner r vacatin. Experiences prvide, in ther wrds, bth mre anticipatry(预期)happiness and afterglw(回味)happiness.
But a recent study suggests that sweaters and iPhnes might make yu just as happy, in a way, as cncerts d. There is a third type f happiness - mmentary happiness — and it tends t last lnger with material gds because peple use them fr mre time than they typically experience their experiences fr.
Fr the study, researchers Aarn Weidman and Elizabeth Dunn frm the University f British Clumbia gave 67 participants $20 t spend n either an experiential r material purchase f their chice, and then t reprt ne experiential r material gift they had recently received. Then they quizzed them abut their happiness levels.
They fund that the study subjects gained mre frequent mmentary happiness frm material gds, but strnger mmentary happiness frm the experiences. In ther wrds, they enjyed their material gds n a greater number f ccasins than they did their experiences even thugh the happiness felt frm the experiences was slightly strnger.
S shuld yu spend much mney n the -latest iThing r n Hamiltn tickets? It depends n whether yu are "seeking a strng but fleeting frm f happiness," Weidman and Dunn write, "r a mre subtle(微 弱 的),frequent frm f happiness that will last fr weeks r mnths.”
24. What did the study f Weidman and Dunn find abut happiness?
A. Minimalism can bring real happiness.
B. Experiences bring strnger mmentary happiness.
C. Peple shuld buy fewer materials in rder t be happy.
D. Experiences can prvide mre frequent mmentary happiness.
25. Which f the fllwing can bring mre frequent mmentary happiness?
A. Enjying an pera.
B. Attending a birthday party.
C. Travelling arund the wrld.
D. Buying a desired bicycle.
26. What des the underlined wrd “fleeting" mean?
A. shrtB. lasting' C. equalD. mixed
27. What's the authr's attitude twards material purchase?
A. Favrable.B. Dubtful.C. Neutral.D. Cautius.

The jurney t discver myself, care fr myself and lve myself has been a lng ne. But, it's been a jurney that has finally saved my life.
I remember thrwing up fr the first time when I was 8 years ld. Smehw I had develped the belief that being thin was the nly way t be accepted and lved. This way f thinking intensified(加剧) as I gt lder and bulimia(神经性贪食)became mre and mre deeply rted in my life.
When I was 15 years ld my family said gdbye t everything we had ever knwn and barded the plane fr New Zealand. I felt alne and scared in a wrld that was cmpletely different t anything I had ever knwn. Eating helped numb(麻木)my pain and thrwing up helped keep me thin.
By the time I went t university I was thrwing up ver 15 times a day. I was s ashamed f what I had becme.
Althugh my bulimia had cmpletely turned my life upside dwn, I knew ne thing fr sure that I lved my family mre than anything in the wrld. This belief eventually made me pick up the phne and bk my first appintment with a therapist(治疗专家).
The first sessin I had with my therapist, Amanda, was amazing. I walked ut f her ffice feeling like I had finally dne smething psitive fr myself Amanda made me realize that I wasn't alne in my suffering and there were thusands upn thusands f girls just like me.
I met regularly with Amanda fr the best part f a year, ver which time I learnt hw t treat myself kindly, respect myself and lve myself. I said gdbye t bulimia after ver a decade f suffering.

Mzart was a genius, but he struggled like an average persn during early twenties. He had t wrk t make ends meet. Underpaid and unsatisfied by his average perfrmances, he felt a burning desire t devte mre time and energy t his art. S after a perid f dubt and thinking, that's exactly what he did. He quit his jb and began what turned ut t be the mst creative perid f his life.
Even if yu never hpe t reach Mzart's level f mastery, yu may relate t his need t break free frm cnventin(传统).Maybe yu've dne everything right - std ut at schl, and gt a high-paying jb — but yu're tired f being just like everyne else. Maybe yu lng t achieve smething that is unmistakably yu.
What, then, is hlding yu back? Rich Karlgaard, the publisher f Frbes magazine and authr f Late Blmers, argues that ur culture's bsessin(痴迷)with early achievement discurages us frm ging after what we lve. Instead f having varied interests, studying widely, and taking ur time --- essentials(要素)fr self-discvery - we're encuraged t pass tests, becme specialists right away, and pursue safe and secure careers. As a result, mst f us end up chsing prfessinal excellence ver persnal achievement, and ften we lse urselves in the prcess.
As yu mve frward, there are a few things t keep in mind. First, it's never t late t “becme” yurself. Aristtle, fr example, didn't fully devte himself t writing and philsphy until he was nearly 50. There are als benefits t taking a lng, winding path t achievement. Remember that age usually brings wisdm, self-knwledge, and creativity. This is ne reasn the average age f funders f high- grwth start-ups is 45.
If yu ever get stuck, think f Janne, a talented and creative wman wh bunced frm jb t jb thrughut her twenties. She felt like a ttal failure. But she tk that feeling f hpelessness and chse t d what she'd always wanted t d: write fantasy nvels fr children. As she wuld later recunt, "I stpped pretending t myself that I was anything ther than what I was.”
Yu've prbably heard f her. Her pen name is J.K. Rwling.
Nw get t wrk.
32. What des the example f Mzart (in the first paragraph) shw?
A. Genius is nthing but labr.
B. Suffering makes a man wise.
C. Yu shuld stick t what inspires yu.
D. Yu need t be different frm thers.
33. In Rich Karlgaard's pinin, what prevents peple frm ging after what they lve?
A. Desire fr early achievement.
B. T wide a range f interests.
C. A waste f time n self-discvery.
D. A wrng chice in prfessins.
34. What des the underlined sentence in the furth paragraph imply?
A. Age can be an advantage in ne's life.
B. Failure is f great value t success.
C. 45 is the right age fr ne t start business.
D. The path t achievement is full f difficulties.
35. What's die main purpse f the passage?
A. T share success stries f sme famus peple.
B. T stress the imprtance f prfessinal excellence.
C. T analyze the reasns fr failure t make early achievements.
D. T encurage peple t becme themselves whatever the age.

Hw t Be Happy: 3 Habits t Add t Yur Rutine
Happiness lks different fr everyne. Fr yu, maybe it's being at peace with wh yu are. Or having a secure netwrk f friends wh accept yu uncnditinally. Or the freedm t pursue yur deepest dreams. 36 A few adjustments t yur regular habits can help yu get there.
* Smile mre ften. Yu tend t smile when yu're happy. 37 We smile because we're happy, and smiling causes the brain t release dpamine, which makes us happier. That desn't mean yu have t g arund with a fake smile n yur face all the time. But the next time yu find yurself feeling lw, crack a smile and see what happens. Or try starting each mrning by smiling at yurself in the mirrr.
* 38 Yu arrive fr an appintment with 10 minutes t spare. What d yu d with that time? Pick up yur cell phne t scrll thrugh scial media? Wrry abut the busy week yu have ahead f yu? 39 At the start f each mnth, make a shrt list f happy memries r things yu're lking frward t n a small piece f paper r n yur phne. When yu find yurself waiting fr a ride, standing in line at the grcery stre, r just with a few minutes t kill, break ut the list.
* Face stress head-n. Life is full f stress, and it's impssible t avid all f them. There's n need t. It's said that stress isn't always harmful, and we can even change ur attitudes abut stress. Learn mre abut the upside f stress. Fr the stress yu can't avid, remind yurself that everyne has stress --- there's n reasn t think it's all n yu. 40 Instead f letting yurself get verwhelmed, try t face the stress head-n. This might mean starting an uncmfrtable cnversatin r putting in sme extra wrk, but the sner yu handle it, the sner the pit in yur stmach will start t shrink.
A. Take time t reflect.
B. Create a thught list.
C. But it's actually a tw-way street.
D. And chances are, yu're strnger than yu think yu are.
E. Take cntrl f yur thughts during these brief windws f time.
F. Remind yurself f any fun activities yu nce enjyed, but that have fallen by the wayside.
G. Regardless f yur versin f happiness, living a happier, mre satisfied life is within reach.
