Have you ever dreamt of winning the lottery (彩票)? Most people will dream of cars, large houses, and not having to work any more. But in real life, that does not always happen.

Dr, H Van Haan, a writer of several books on lottery winners says, “Winning the lottery doesn’t change people’s lives as much as we imagine. Most lottery winners keep their jobs, but we often find that they lost their friends. Their friends will often ask them for money and these friends very often get angry if they don’t share the money.”

Most lottery winners spend most of their first one million dollars on travel. However, when the early excitement of traveling around the world has disappeared, the happiness that the money brings also disappears. In less than a year after winning, most winners say that they are not happier than before.

Too much money can make people unhappy, especially for those who are not used to it. It is true. One study shows that more than 30% of lottery winners lost most of their money in the first five years and many of them had money problems. Another report shows that a lot of people had a happy marriage before they won the lottery, but they had problems after winning the money.

So, you see, although most people dream of winning the lottery, the dream can sometimes turn into a nightmare.

任務(wù)型閱讀。
     Have you ever dreamt of winning the lottery (彩票)? Most people will dream of fast cars, large houses, and not
having to work anymore after they win the lottery. In real life, however, that's not always what happens.
     Psychologist David Myers, in his book, says, "Winning the lottery doesn't change people's lives as much as
you might think". Most lottery winners often find that they lose their friends. Their friends will often ask them for
money and these "friends" very often get angry if they don't share the money.
     Lottery winners usually spend some of the money on traveling around the world. However, when the early
excitement of traveling has gone, the happiness that the money brings also disappears (消失). In less than a year
after winning, most winners say that they are not happier than before.
     Too much money can make people unhappy. One study shows that more than 30% of lottery winners lost most
of their money in the first five years and then many of them had money problems. Another study shows that a lot
of people were happily married (結(jié)婚的) before they won the lottery, but they had problems with their partners
after winning the money.
     So, you see, although most people dream of winning the lottery, the dream can sometimes turn into a nightmare
(噩夢).
