60、a: given limited resources, what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction? Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic (享乐的）gains than material purchases.The reason why experiences improve with time may be because
61、it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions. For example, if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth, you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant (生气勃勃), but youre less likely to remember exactly what you d
62、id day-by-day.Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense. The car you bought is still a car, that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket. Its more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory th
63、an a possession.Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy “joyless” material possessions, resulting in comfort but not pleasure. In general, people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase. This can be seen in both negative and positive purchase
64、s: hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.Experience, however, seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons.
65、It is because of the unique nature of experience. Its more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable. After all, each of our youthful summers is different.Its well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem l
66、ike positive events. One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn $50,000 a year while everyone else earns $25,000, instead of earning $100,000 themselves and having other people earn $200,000.A similar effect is seen for possessions. When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to ch

73、g.The 4D printing concept, which allows materials to “self-assemble (自行组装)” into 3D structures, was initially proposed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology faculty member Skylar Tibbits. Tibbits and his team combined a strand (缕) of plastic with a layer made out of “smart” material that could se
74、lf-assemble in water. They advanced this concept by creating materials that can change into several different complicated shapes, though this kind of material remains the bottleneck of 4D technology.To many people that are just starting to get used to the idea of 3D printers, the name 4D is causing
75、confusion because they cannot understand where this fourth “dimension” coming from. 4D technology shares many of the same principles of 3D printing and is essentially still about creating a new, 3D structure out of certain component; however, Tibbits states the fourth dimension at work here comes fr
76、om concept of the fourth dimension of time. The difference between these 3D and 4D creations is that these new forms have the ability to transform and adapt over time.4D printing works through self-assembly a system where “disordered elements form an “ordered” structure via an interaction. With thes
77、e 4D printed materials, these disordered materials are strands or sheets of specially designed materials. Environmental changes then stimulate (刺激）a response from them so that they form a preprogrammed shape.The idea of having adaptable technology that only relies on energy and non-human interaction
78、s raises some interesting questions about where 4D printing can be used and the practical applications in dangerous environments. This could mean improved infrastructures in extreme conditions, leading to a reduced need for workers to put themselves at risk, but the potential goes even further than
79、that. The technology promises exciting new possibilities for a variety of applications. A solar panel or similar product could be produced in a flat shape onto which functional devices can be easily installed. It could then be changed to a compact shape for packing and shipping. After arriving at it
80、s destination, the product could be stimulated to form a different shape that serves its function. Also it could be used to build furniture, bikes, cars and even buildings. As with many of the ideas being put forward, it is easy to go a step too far into the extreme, but this just shows the potentia
81、l of 4D in comparison to 3D.The next stage for the research is to move from printing single strands to sheets and eventually whole structures. And water need not be the process s only energy source.62. Which of the following displays the fourth dimension of 4D printing?A. 4D printing creates a new,
