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
【C3】
选项
答案
M
解析
空前是动宾结构,则此处应填一个动词或形容词,该空所在句破折号前句意为“实际结果显示,他们为别人花钱时其实更加快乐”,破折号后是由even if引导的与前半句意思相反的句子,由此可推知,此空所在句意为“即使实验对象认为为自己花钱会更快乐”。M项happier意为“更快乐的”。因此选择happier“更快乐的”。
