What would you do with 590m? This is now a question for Gloria Mackenzie, an 84-year-old widow who recently emerged from her small, tin-roofed house in Florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history. If she hopes her new-found for tune will yield lasting feelings of fulfillment, she could do worse than read Happy Money by Elizabeth Dumn and Michael Norton.
These two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the most rewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive. Fantasies of great wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes. Yet satisfaction with these material purchases wears off fairly quickly what was once exciting and new becomes old-hat; regret creeps in. It is far better to spend money on experiences, say Ms Dumn and Mr Norton, like interesting trips, unique meals or even going to the cinema. These purchases often become more valuable with time-as stories or memories-particularly if they involve feeling more connected to others.
This slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lottery winners get the most "happiness bang for your buck." It seems most p...

以下《2014考研英语二小作文解析及范文》由出国留学网考研频道为您精心提供，希望对大家有所帮助。
2014年英语二小作文考察的是请求信，总体难度比去年明显下降，题目当中没有特别难的考点主要内容就是向别人寻求大学住宿的建议。首先从题材上来说，是与我们平时生活息息相关的，没有生僻含义的出现，这就解决了生僻概念翻译成英文的问题。其次，从题材来说是考察请求信，而请求信2005年首次出现小作文开始至今，在英语一当中曾经出现过一次。所以对于考生，特别是认真复习过考研小作文真题的同学来说，这种体裁应该是不陌生的。格式方面，根据题干要求来看，收信人的名字已经给出-John， 所以在很多学生会犯错误的称呼问题上也不会有太大问题，直接用Dear John即可。 署名回归英语一惯用姓名“Li Ming”。
其实在今年的跨考各地的作文班上，特别是小作文的讲授方面，请求信由于其实用性之高一直被列为最为重要的备考体裁之一。而且针对2006年英语一(请求找到希望工程捐赠对象)以及跨考模考的小作文真题训练过程中，我们已经把请求信按照写信对象及内容分为正式版(写给机构)和非正式版(写给朋友亲戚)两种模板。所以如果同学按照老师要求记诵请求信模板的话，本次小作文的考试应该是游刃有余。而且如果是英语一考过，英语二没有考过，是会考的。
本次小作文依然分三段来写，根据题干中的情景交代，我们知道自己的角色定位在准备出国留学的学生，且要给未来的室友John写信。所以根据我们的写作规则，在这里首段除了提出写作目的意外，出于礼节，我们应该先有一个简短的自我介绍。
二段是中心段，根据题干要求，要包含两部分内容。一是介绍自己的住宿习惯，一句话即可。二是询问住宿建议，这里可以写两条。套用模板例如：By the way, I would like to know if there are some necessary advice you could offer. For example, …(具体询问内容) 或者I wonder whether it is convenient for you if two things following could be considered. To begin with,… in addition, … ( 即可。
三段是结尾，套用请求信常用结尾模板:Your prompt attention to my inquiry will be highly appreciated and I am looking forward to your reply at your earliest conveniences.
英语二小作文范文如下：
Dear John,
I am writing this letter to excitedly tell you that I am going to study in your university this September and I would like to express my great pleasure and honor to be your classmate and roommate. I have to say I have started to expect the open day’s coming.
In order to hav...

英语二小作文：
Suppose you are going to study abroad and share an apartment with john a local student ,write
him an email to
1)tells him, about your living habit ,and
2)ask for advice for living there
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead.
Do not write the address. (10 Points)
小作文解析：
今年小作文不出预料，考到了介绍信和询问信这一综合性的书信。我们跨考老师在课上就曾预测过今年考查综合性书信的可能性极大。今年考题的Direction要求给你未来的舍友写一封信介绍下自己的生活习惯以求更好两人能够更好地相处;其次，希望对方就如何适应当地的生活给自己一些建议。根据题目的要求，我们可以判断本文为私人信函，可以写成非正式语域，即可以出现缩写、省略问句或者口语表达。
称呼：
Dear John,注意称呼中，所有实词首字母全部大写，Dear John后面的逗号不可丢，也不能写成冒号。
正文：
第一段：写作内容需涵盖两点：自我介绍，写信目的。文章开头开门自我介绍部分用到了这样的表达：I am Li Ming who will go to study in your university and live together with you in one department. 其中的“I am …who…”这个句型来自于建议信的表达，放在这里也十分贴切;接下一句话表明了写信目的：Now I am writing this letter to tell you some of my habits and ask you for some suggestions to adapt myself there.
第二段： 写作内容为习惯介绍以及寻求建议。首先，介绍自己的生活习惯，自己一般早上六点起床外出锻炼;周末一般在图书馆看书;其次，希望John就如何适应当地生活给自己一些建议。
第三段：写作内容表示期待，良好祝愿。用到了这样的表达：I am looking forward to seeing you soon and wish everything goes well.
落款： Yours sincerely, 特别提醒sincerely后面逗号不能丢;
签名： Li Ming 特别注意Li Ming 后面一定不能出现句点。
Dear John,
I am Li Ming who will go to study in your university and live together with you in one ...

2014年英语(二)阅读理解的第二篇是关于心理学方面的文章。文都高端英语老师认为这篇文章的五道题目充分演绎的定位替换的解题思路，难度适中。只要考生熟练掌握考前总结的解题思路，足以应对。
26. According to the first paragraph, social psychologist have found that ______.细节题。题干问的是文章第一段中社会心理学家发现了什么，对应首段末尾and shown that, for example, 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities.
选项 our self-ratings are unrealistically high对应obviously statistical impossibilities，“对自己的评价高得离谱”对应“数据明显不可能”，为最佳答案。其余干扰选项较容易排除。
27. Visual recognition is believed to be people’s______. 细节题。选项分别为 rapid watching快速的观看;conscious choice，有意识的选择;intuitive response，直觉反应;automatic self-defense，自动自卫。根据题干Visual recognition 定位到第三段第三句，Visual recognition, reads the study, is "an automatic psychological process occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation". 从四个形容词和名词构成的短语中不难选出“intuitive response，直觉反应”为最佳答案。
28. Epley found that people with higher self-esteem tended to_____ _. 细节题。选项分别为underestimate their insecurities;believe in their attractiveness;cover up their depressions;oversimplify their illusions。根据题干中people with higher self-esteem定位到第四段第二句，In fact those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other makers for having higher self-esteem. 辨析四个选项中的关键词，只有“believe in their attractiveness相信自己的魅力”能...
