Who cares if money can’t buy you love? But it can still be your best friend forever. That’s one of the surprising findings in a new research paper, “The Power of Money”, published in me journal Psychological Science.
Like any best friend forever, money demonstrated to researchers its ability to soothe us, reduce our sense of social exclusion and even reduce life’s painful moments.
“I was surprised” says Katherine Vohs, one of the researchers and professor at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management. “The findings were surprising because no one had connected the meaning of money to pain. The money wasn’t buying the subjects more friends; it was only psychologically helpful.”
In the research ,students were told they would be participating in a test of finger dexterity(敏捷度). One group was given some paper money to count, while the other group was given blank pieces of paper. Once the counting was complete, all the test subjects were asked to dip their fingers into bowls of water heated to 122 degrees--roughly the temperature of a very hot bath.
Result? Those who had been counting money reported less pain than those who had not. Subjects also were asked about their feelings. Those who handled actual money reported feeling stronger even 10 minutes after they put down the cash.
Combined with previous experiments, the findings confirmed what researchers have long doubted, that money acts as a general panacea(萬能藥) in the brain, giving us social self-confidence and reducing physical pain without having to spend a dime on aspirin.
But can we get the same effect by using credit cards? “No, credit cards do not have the same effect, ” Vohs says. “They are scary for most people, and they in fact represent debt m many ways.” The findings could have an interesting effect in the business world, where recent trends have been to issue non-monetary rewards and bonuses instead of what was thought of as “cold, hard cash”.
1.The underlined word “soothe” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to“_________” .
A. encourage B. remind
C. calm D. trust
2.What’s Katherine Vohs’s attitude towards the result of the study?
A. He found it totally unexpected.
B. He had no doubt about it.
C. He thought it needed further experiments.
D. He thought it was not convincing.
3.What do we know about the students involved in the study?
A. They were divided into two groups according to their ages.
B. One group was given paper money while the other was given coins.
C. They were holding the money while dipping fingers into hot water.
D. Both groups were asked to dip fingers into hot water.
4.We can 1earn from the passage that_________.
A. the effect of money can only last until we put it down
B. money is both psychologically and socially helpful to us
C. the result of the research hasn’t been confirmed(證實(shí))by experts
D. credit cards have the same effect on us as money
5.The last paragraph suggests that___________.
A. the recent trend in the business world is to give cash as rewards
B. employers should give non-monetary rewards to employees
C. cash is a better way to reward employees than credit cards
D. more and more employees prefer non-monetary rewards to cash

Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.
A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobilephone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.
The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”
1. What can we conclude from the text?
A. All that glitters is not gold
B. It never rains but pours
C. Every coins has two sides
D. It’s no good crying over spilt milk
2. The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A calling B. reaching
C. getting D. using
3. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours
B. Nine- tenths spent over three hours checking work emails
C. One-fourth check their first mail between 11 pm and midnight.
D. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 8 am.
4. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. workaholics like smartphones.
B. Smartphones bring about extra work.
C. smartphones make our life easier.
D. Employers don’t like smartphones.

My old digital camera broke down, so I wanted to buy a new one. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the Net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, "Can I have one of those? " He looked perturbed(不安). "Do you want to try it first?" he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. "Do I need to?" I replied, "There’s nothing wrong with it." This made him look a bit offended and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it," he said encouragingly, "compare it with the others.
I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.
But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers... and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.
1.The shop assistant insisted that the writer should ____.
A. trust him and stop asking questions
B. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it
C. get more information about different companies
D. compare the camera he had chosen with the others
2.What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it"(Paragraph 2)?
A. He should get a 50% discount.
B. The price of the camera would soon fall.
C. The quality of the camera was not good.
D. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.
3.The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he _______.
A. knew very little about it
B. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best
C. didn't trust the shop assistant
D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers
4.It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, _______.
A. we waste too much money on cameras
B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life
C. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product
D. famous companies care more about profit than quality
