What's best: a new phone or a day out with friends? Is it better to spend money buying things or doing things? A study showed that six in ten people would like to pay for something to do instead of something to have. 1
Many people think that material possessions(财产) can last for many years, while experiences are short. 2 Professor Gilovich found that the happiness that objects provide can disappear quickly. We are used to having new things, so instead of being something we are excited about, they just become our new normal. Our feelings can also be affected by others. 3 So if someone else has better things, we may no longer like what we own.
A holiday may be short, but the happiness can last much longer. Waiting for something from online shopping may be boring, but waiting for an event brings great excitement. Experiences are often shared, so we get joy from social events with other people. Memories of our experiences become part of our life. 4
Of course, it's not always that simple. Other studies have shown that happiness from experiences might depend on your personality and how many possessions you already have. A shy person may get less joy from social activities. 5 However, for many of us, it could be that we'll be more likely to spend on something to do.
A. This, however, might be the wrong way to look at things.
B. It's hard for us to choose how to spend our money wisely.
C. We often compare what we have with other people.
D. Soon we may even feel sad to part with certain old things.
E. And those with few possessions may get greater joy from objects.
F. An object gets worse over time, while sweet memories always stay.
G. For example, young people enjoy spending the most on fun activities.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

1. G 根据上文"A study showed that six in ten people would like to pay for something to do instead of something to have."可知研究表明多数人更愿意为体验付费；G项"例如，年轻人享受在有趣的活动上花费最多。"举例说明年轻人为体验付费。故选G。
2. A 根据上文"Many people think that material possessions can last for many years, while experiences are short."可知传统观点认为物品比体验更持久，下文"Professor Gilovich found that the happiness that objects provide can disappear quickly."提出了不同的观点；A项"然而，这可能是看待事物的错误方式。"承上启下，与上文是转折关系。故选A。
3. C 根据上文"Our feelings can also be affected by others."和下文"So if someone else has better things, we may no longer like what we own."可知此处强调他人对自身感受的影响；C项"我们常将自己拥有的与他人比较。"符合语境。故选C。
4. F 根据上文"Memories of our experiences become part of our life."可知体验的记忆会成为生活的一部分；F项"物品会随时间贬值，而甜蜜回忆永存。"能承接上文。故选F。
5. E 根据上文"Other studies have shown that happiness from experiences might depend on your personality and how many possessions you already have."可知研究表明经历带来的幸福感可能取决于你的性格和你已经拥有的财产，上文"A shy person may get less joy from social activities."提到性格对幸福感的影响，此处应补充拥有的财产对幸福感的影响；E项"拥有较少财产的人可能从物品中获得更大快乐。"符合语境。故选E。

Colors are not just pretty to look at, they can talk to us. Scientists call these "smart colors" because they change when something important happens. This helps keep us safe, saves money, and even protects the Earth.
In some hospitals, nurses wear special wristbands(腕带) that turn bright red if nurses forget to wash hands. This is a gentle reminder to wash hands before touching a patient. 1 These tiny color changes of wristbands make patients feel safe while staying in the hospital.
On highways, engineers can use "temperature paint" on bridges. When the air drops below freezing, the grey road slowly turns bright white, warning drivers that ice may be hiding there. 2
Inside your kitchen, smart labels(标签) on milk cartons change from green to orange if the milk has been left out too long. 3 Families can throw the milk away before anyone gets sick. Also, supermarkets will remove the milk if it isn't fresh.
Even sports can use colors as signals(信号). Smart running shoes will turn purple when the rubber is worn out. 4 Coaches say this simple purple stripe prevents ankle and knee hurt, saving athletes weeks of painful treatment.
However, today's smart colors often need batteries or special chemicals. Researchers are now working on "self-powered" pigments(色素) that only need light or heat. 5 One day, our T-shirts may change color with the weather, telling us when to carry an umbrella or take it off, making life both easier and greener.
A. They hope such pigments will make smart colors cheaper and greener.
B. Similarly, wristbands of football players will turn bright yellow when they're hot.
C. Patients simply look at the wristbands and know whether the nurses' hands are safe.
D. The colour signals will tell you to change into a new pair of shoes before you get hurt.
E. The brighter it turns, the more careful drivers become, so accidents drop sharply in winter.
F. Without the bright colourful paint, many accidents could happen, especially on dark evenings.
G. This small change will not only help us eat healthily, but also be of some help to the supermarkets.

1. C 根据上文"nurses wear special wristbands that turn bright red if nurses forget to wash hands"和下文"These tiny color changes of wristbands make patients feel safe while staying in the hospital."可知腕带变红提醒护士洗手，腕带颜色变化让患者安心；此处应具体介绍颜色变化如何让患者安心；C项"患者只需看腕带就知道护士的手是否安全。"承上启下，解释了颜色变化与病人安全感之间的直接联系。故选C。
2. E 根据上文"When the air drops below freezing, the grey road slowly turns bright white, warning drivers that ice may be hiding there."可知公路桥梁的温度涂料在冰点下会从灰色变白色，警示司机有冰；E项"颜色变得越亮，司机越小心，因此冬季事故大幅减少。"进一步解释"白色警示"带来的实际效果。故选E。
3. G 根据上文"Inside your kitchen, smart labels on milk cartons change from green to orange if the milk has been left out too long."和下文"Families can throw the milk away before anyone gets sick.

4. D 根据上文"Smart running shoes will turn purple when the rubber is worn out."和下文"Coaches say this simple purple stripe prevents ankle and knee hurt, saving athletes weeks of painful treatment."可知智能跑鞋在橡胶磨损时会变紫色，从而预防脚踝和膝盖受伤；D项"颜色信号会在你受伤前提醒你换一双新鞋。"衔接"变紫色"的信号与"预防受伤"的结果，解释跑鞋颜色变化的具体作用。故选D。
5. A 根据上文"Researchers are now working on ‘self-powered’ pigments that only need light or heat."可知研究者正在研发"自供电"色素；A项"他们希望这类色素能让智能颜色更便宜、更环保。"承上启下，介绍研发自供电色素的目的，为下文"更环保的未来应用"作铺垫。故选A。
