【题目】 The new science of spending comes to a surprising conclusion. How we use our money may __________ as much or more than how much we’ve got it.
Money spent on experiences, rather than material goods, brings along more happiness.
Imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning to discover $1 million under your bed. What would you do with that cash?
The money will probably make you think about one thing above all else—yourself. A large amount of research reveals that money __________ our selfish sides. We will __________ much on what that money can do for us alone. Perhaps you are imagining buying a faster car, or even a new house.
But studies show that __________ goods often fail to deliver lasting happiness. Fortunately, our ongoing research __________ many ways to get more happiness from every dollar you spend. Changing how you spend money can increase your happiness.
But making these __________ needs to challenge some of our ideas of spending. It’s hard not to view buying a house as a wise investment. But research shows it brings very little happiness. A study in the United States found that homeowners, on average, were no happier than renters.
So, working hard to save money for a house might not be such a good idea __________ it means spending less time with your families and friends. And dozens of studies show that people get more happiness from buying __________ than material things. Experimental purchase—such as trips, concerts and special meals—are more deeply connected to our sense of self.
And experiences come with one more advantage. They tend to bring us __________ to other people, but more often, material things are enjoyed __________. So social contacts are important to improve mental and physical health.

【题目】 Nobody likes making mistakes. But,no one is perfect. If you can learn from mistakes correctly,they can move you forward.
If you have made mistakes that harm other people,it is important to offer a sincere apology (道歉)in person. A good apology will probably make the other person forgive(原谅) you. If you refuse to apologize,the person hurt by you will hold it against you.
If you go through life afraid to make a mistake,you will spend most of your life doing nothing. There is no harm in making mistakes;it is a part of going forward. The more duties you take,the more mistakes you will possibly make.
Unluckily,it is natural to justify(为……辩解)our actions. When you make a mistake,you will first blame someone else. When mistakes are made,the boss won’t be interested in justifications. Sometimes it is best to say,very simply--yes,I made a mistake.
Mistakes happen for different reasons. To avoid repeating them,you need to understand the main reason. For example,you may have made a mistake by saying some unkind words. If you make mistakes because you are tired,try to get more sleep;if you are stressed,look at ways to relax and keep away from the stress of work.
You should avoid feeling guilty about making mistakes,but at the same time,you should make a decision to learn from them. If you repeat the same mistakes,it shows you aren’t making progress and they cause repeating suffering. Often mistakes are caused by bad habits. To avoid making the same mistakes you need to break these bad habits. The sooner,the better.
