Then why doesnt increased wealth greatly improve our mental health?The ability to imagine to try to predict our future state of mind is what sets us apart from other species. Its also the very thing that negatively affects our true happiness. We assume that a sportier car, a bigger house, a betterpaid job, or that dress will bring us joy. Not really. They may make us happy for a short time, but we can easily forget the feeling of happiness brought by material things.In so many areas, we know when enough is enough. When were healthy, we dont strive for extreme health. After a good meal, were satisfied we dont order another dish. Yet our “pause” button shorts out when it comes to money. The brief pickmeup that accompanies a raise or windfall (横财) drives us to want more. We get a raise, spend it, adapt to our improved circumstances, and seek more money. But somehow the HappyOMeter stays in the same place, or even slows down. Consider that the average American are less satisfied with life today than we were in the 1950s, yet we earn twice as much.How much is enough? Of course, the amount is relative, but consider what it represents to the average American: Its enough to cover the bills and have some fun money left over. After that, each incremental (递增的) move up the pay scale has less longterm emotional impact. A 20% raise wont make you 20% happier. In fact, chasing that extra 10 grand might just make you miserable. So the guy in the corner office may actually be more bummed_out than those of us in the cheap seats.1The first reason given by the author is that _.Awe dont know what brings true happinessBwe like predicting our future state of mindCsadness hits us when our desires arent satisfiedDhappiness brought by material things doesnt last long解析：选D细节理解题。根据第二段的“They may make us happy for a short time, but we can easily forget the feeling of happiness brought by material things.”可知，第一个理由是金钱带来的快乐持续时间不长。2What does the author want to show by mentioning how much Americans made in the 1950s?APeople back then werent really happy.BAmericans lives have greatly changed.CAmericans care more about money today.DHigher incomes dont mean a happier life.解析：选D作者意图题。根据第三段的“Consider that the average . than we were in the 1950s, yet we earn twice as much.”可知，作者是想表明高收入并不意味着更快乐的生活。3What does the underlined part “bummed out” in the last paragraph mean?ABored.BSatisfied.CDisappointed. DExcited.解析：选C词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“In fact, chasing that extra 10 grand might just make you miserable.”可知，这里是指坐在单独办公室里的人或许比坐在便宜座椅里的人更加失望。4What is the text mainly about?AWhat money cant do for us.BWhy people want more money.CWhat can benefit our mental health.DWhy rich people arent really happier.解析：选D主旨大意题。全文主要是讲为什么富裕的人并不比普通人更快乐，故选D项。.语法填空Mr and Mrs Smith were a busy couple.
