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.
【B15】
选项
A、as
B、against

语义逻辑题。上一句列举了更好的花钱方式,并且指出这些方式随着时间的推移变得更有价值,破折号的stories or memories对此做了进一步的解释。as填入文中,表示“作为故事或回忆而变得更有意义”.符合语境,故选A项。
