My colleagues-PhD student Lucia Macchia, Professor Elizabeth Dunn and I set out to do a study. We asked more than 1,000 college students. What we found was that students who p r ioriti z ed time were happier than those who prioritized money. Those who valued time were happier and more satisfied with their lives and careers one to two years after graduation. People who live in more unequal areas feel less financially secure and are more likely to value money. People who grew up in families fighting about money also are more likely to focus on money instead of time as adults, even if they now have a lot of money. Of course, debt also plays a role. Sometimes we cannot choose our priorities; we might need to choose the better-paying job and sacrifice (牺牲) having more time to socialize with our friends and family. Society needs to work harder to make us all feel like we have the choice to prioritize time over money. However, when we do have the ability to choose which resource to prioritize, the data is clear: Valuing time is likely to bring us greater joy both in the moment and in the long term. 24. What can we know about Justin from paragraph 1? A. He tried hard to find a well-paid job. B. He had to make a great decision in life. C. He was unwilling to leave his family. D. He had trouble in graduating from college. 25. Which of the following can explain the underlined word “prioritized” in paragraph 2? A. Took...further. B. Spent...wisely. C. Put...first. D. Saved...gradually. 26. What plays a role in people’s valuing money over time? A. Their educational experiences. B. Their family backgrounds. C. Their parents’ attitude towards them. D. Their relationship with people in their area. 27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph? A. To draw a conclusion. B. To conduct a survey. C. To make a prediction. D. To offer a choice. C Our world’s forests are becoming isolated and broken. In fact, today we have only two remaining continuous forests systems in the world-the Amazon and the Congo.
