Text 1 What would you do with$590m?This is now a question for Gloria Mackenzie,an 84yearold widow who recently emerged from her small,tinroofed house in Florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history.If she hopes her newfound fortune will yield lasting feelings of fulfillment,she could do worse than read Happy Money by Elizabeth Dumn and Michael Norton.These two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the most rewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive.Fantasies of great wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes.Yet satisfaction with these material purchases wears off fairly quickly.What was once exciting and new becomes oldhat;regret creeps in.It is far better to spend money on experiences,say Ms.Dumn and Mr.Norton,like interesting trips,unique meals or even going to the cinema.These purchases often become more valuable with time—as stories or memories—particularly if they involve feeling more connected to others.This slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lottery winners get the most“happiness bang for your buck.”It seems most people would be better off if they could shorten their commutes to work,spend more time with friends and family and less of it watching television（something the average American spends a whopping two months a year doing,and is hardly jollier for it）.Buying gifts or giving to charity is often more pleasurable than purchasing things for oneself,and luxuries are most enjoyable when they are consumed sparingly.This is apparently the reason MacDonald's restricts the availability of its popular McRib—a marketing trick that has turned the pork sandwich into an object of obsession.Readers of Happy Money are clearly a privileged 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 link between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world,and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things for most people.Not everyone will agree with the authors’policy ideas,which range from mandating more holiday time to reducing tax incentives for American homebuyers.But most people will come away from this book believing it was money well spent.

解析：细节题【命题思路】这是一道局部信息细节题。根据题干信息定位到第二段后，将原文信息与选项一一对照即可得出答案，考查的重点是对原文信息的理解。【直击答案】根据题干定位到第二段第五句话It is far better to spend money on experiences,say Ms.Dumn and Mr.Norton,like interesting trips,unique meals or even going to the cinema。B项（一次特别的旅行）是原文interesting trips（有趣的旅行）的同义替换，因此为正确答案。【干扰排除】A项和C项与原文信息不符。原文第二段第三句提到购买物质性的东西所带来的满足感很快就会消耗殆尽，而“豪宅”和“名车”都属于物质性的东西。D项干扰性很强，虽然第二段第四句同样也提到了“unique meals”，但D项中的“rich”，跟原文的“unique”是两个概念，故排除。
