Spending
money
on
time-saving
services
reduces
stress
and
boosts
（增进）
happiness,
according to a new research, but shockingly, few of us do it.
Whillans, a professor at HBS said, “Buying time help
s to protect us from the
stress
in
our
lives
caused
by
time
pressure,
and
the
feeling
that
we
don’t
have
enough
minutes in the day to complete our tasks.”

The effect was clearest in the Canadian experiment, in which 60 working adults
were given $$40 to spend in two different ways. One weekend, they were told to spend
the money on a material
purchase
—
a gift
for themselves.
The
next weekend, they were
asked to spend the $$40 on anything that saved them time, from paying the neighbor’s
kid to run errands
（跑腿）
to taking an Uber instead of a bus.
“On the day they made the time
-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better
mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material
purchase,” said Whillans.

The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on
time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a
“windfall” of $$40, only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.

“One
reason,”
said
Whillans,
“is
that
we’re
very
bad
at
remembering
how
much
we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely
to take active steps to
avoid that overburdened
feeling
in the future.” But
another
possible cause is good old-
fashioned guilt. “If you feel gu
ilty
（负罪感）
about
getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from
outsourcing
（外包）that task,” said Whillans, “or you might just be less likely
to spend your money in that way.”

28. In the Canadian experiment, the participants
（参加者）
________.
A. were divided into two groups
B. were given $$40 every two weeks
C. were asked to give money to a neighbor’s kid

D. were asked to spend the money in different ways
29. According to the author, what can make people less time- stressed?
A. Paying much for a concert ticket.
B. Taking a regular bus to get to work.
C. Employing someone to clean the garden.

- 9 -

D. Buying themselves an expensive present.
30. When it comes to spending money on “buying time”, ________.

A. no people would like to do it
B. a small percentage of people chose to do it
C. more people will do it if extra money is given
D. most people like the idea but don’t practice it in life

31. What do the underlined words “that overburdened feeling” in Paragraph
6 refer
to?
A. The good old-fashioned guilt.
B. The feeling of spending money on goods.
C. The stress of having someone clean your house.
D. The discomfort when completing tasks we hate doing.

Vinegar(
醋
) is great. It makes salad
，
fries and dumplings taste better
，
and you
can even clean your windows with it. And now
，
according to scientists
，
it may even
help the planet’s population survive climate change.

Researchers
from
the
RIKEN
Center
for
Sustainable
Resource
Science
(CSRS)
in
Japan
have
found
that
growing
plants
in
vinegar
makes
them
more
resistant(
抵制
)
to
droughts.
This could mean that in the future
，
worries about climate change affecting the
world’s supply of food will be much lower.

The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis
，
a plant
known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant
was placed in drought-like conditions
，
it produced a chemical called acetate(
醋酸
盐
)
—
the main component(
成分
) of vinegar.
After discovering this
，
the scientists experimented further by adding acetate
to the soil
of other plants,
before they stopped giving them water completely. After
leaving the plants for 14 days
，
they found that the ones treated with acetate had
survived
，while the untreated plants had dried up and died. It’s hoped that this
simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry countries keep
their crops alive.
Jong
Myong
Kim
，
co- author
of
the
study
，
tells
PopularScience

magazine
that
he’s
already been in touch with people all over the world who are interested in trying
this
simple
and
cost-effective
method
out
for
themselves
from
flower
growing
companies
to
amateur(
业余)
gardeners.
Although
at
this
point
keeping
thirsty
plants
alive
isn’t
as easy as just pouring vinegar over them
，
Kim says he and his team are working on
making
the process as simple as possible. “Now we are trying to cooperate with some
farmers
，
and
also
some
companies
，
to
make
a
method
to
apply
this
system
，”
he
says.

And for those of us who always forget to ask our neighbors to water our plants
when we go away
，
hopefully this means the end of returning home from a trip to find
our favorite flowers have died.

How to calm your teen
A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.
When you recognize your teen is under stress, what can parents do to help your teen
stay calm before an exam?
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen's work. 36 What they
look for is your presence to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly.
Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express his worries and
fears, but don't let them focus on them.
Help
them
get
organized.
37 Together,
you
and
your
teen
can
work
out
a
timetable
in which he can study for what he knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect
his privacy.
Give them a nutritious diet. It's important for your teen to eat a healthy,
balanced diet during exam times to focus and do his best.38 If this happens,
encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than
junk food, is better for reducing stress.
39 Persuade
your
teen
to
get
some
sleep
and
do
something
active
when
he
needs
a
real
break
from
studying.
Making
time
for
relaxation
,
fun,
and
exercise
is
important
in
reducing
stress.
