Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else, researchers reported.
Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly【C1】______happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found. Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were【C2】______happier when they spent money on others—even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them【C3】______.
"We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they【C4】______," said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.
They asked their 600 volunteers first to【C5】______their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.
"【C6】______of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not," Dunn said in a statement.
Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing【C7】______of between $3,000 and $8,000.
"Employees who【C8】______more of their bonus to pro-social spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important【C9】______of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself," they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.
They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear【C10】______on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.
A)wealthier B)boost C)rate D)actually
E)focused F)earn G)devoted H)bonus
I)regardless J)discuss K)predictor L)instruction
M)happier N)In spite O)improve
【C9】
选项
答案
K
解析
空前是形容词important,空后是介词of.则此处应填一个名词,联系上下文推知,此句意为“他们支配这笔钱的方式比奖金本身的多少对快乐感的影响更大。”选项中K项predictor意为“预测器”,即他们支配这笔钱的方式是更重要的快乐感的预测器,这是一种打比方的说法,符合原文意思。因此选择predictor“预测器”。
