【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文,作者通过引用Ryan Howell的研究结果证实经历比有形物质更能给人带来快乐。
1.解析:选A。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。
