解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“... found that in the long run, experiences make people happier than possessions”可知，经历比物品更能使人感到高兴。根据第六段中的“the more materialistic participants got less happiness from purchases than the less materialistic”可知，比较倾向物质主义的参与者比不太倾向物质主义的参与者从购物中得到的快乐更少。由此可见， Ryan Howell 在他的研究中发现：有形物质比经历给人带来的快乐更少。因此，该题选A。

　　2．What did Ryan Howell want to find out by doing another study?

　　A．How to judge whether a person is a materialist.

　　B．Why materialists are not happy with their purchases.

　　C．How materialists feel when they spend money on goods.

　　D．Whether materialists are happy when they first make purchases.

　　解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第四段“But materialists should at least be happy when they first buy something, shouldn't they？”及第五段第一句“To figure it out, Howell did another study.”可知该题选D。

　　3．Why does the author use the ancient Greek philosopher's words in the last paragraph?

　　A．To advise materialistic people not to try to impress others.

　　B．To persuade people to be satisfied with what they have.
