What would you do with $590m? This is now a(n) 【B1】______for Gloria MacKenzie, an 84-year-old widow who recently【B2】______from her small, tin-roofed house in Florida to collect the biggest lottery in history. The blogosphere(the world of weblogs)is full of【B3】______for this lucky pensioner. But if she hopes her new-found money will【B4】______lasting feelings of fulfillment, she could do【B5】______than read "Happy Money" by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton.
These two【B6】______—she teaches psychology at the University of British Columbia; he【B7】______on marketing at Harvard Business School—use an array of behavioral research to show that the most【B8】______ways to spend money can be counterintuitive. Fantasies of great wealth often involve【B9】______of fancy cars and palatial homes on remote seashores.【B10】______satisfaction with these material purchases【B11】______fairly quickly. What was【B12】______exciting and new becomes old-hat; remorse【B13】______in. It is far better to spend money on experiences, say Ms. Dunn and Mr. Norton, like interesting trips,【B14】______meals or even going to the cinema. These purchases often become more valuable with time—【B15】______stories or memories—particularly if they involve feeling more【B16】______to others.
Readers of "Happy Money" are clearly a【B17】______lot, anxious about fulfillment, not hunger. Money may not quite buy happiness, but people in wealthier countries are generally happier than those in poor ones. Yet the【B18】______between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world, and【B19】______enhances the pleasure of most things for most people. Not everyone will agree with the authors’ ideas, but most people will come【B20】______from this book believing it was money well spent.
【B12】
选项
A、quite
B、never
C、once
D、even
答案
C
解析
语义逻辑题。空格处填人副词,根据句意“——让人兴奋新鲜的东西变成了过时的东西”可知,这里暗含一种对比,四个选项中只有once能与becomes old-hat语义上形成对照,选C项。
