Recently, a professor of philosophy in the U. S. has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we   41   money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to   42   every penny they spend for a week.   43  they spend their money, they can see what they really   44   in life.
He says our relation with others often becomes clearly   45   when money enters the picture. You might have   46   with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will   47   him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings   48   to the friendship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly  49  the friendship if he doesn’t.

All I   54  money
People just   55   making more and more money, but what is it   56 ? How much do I need for a given purpose in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back   57  that money is an instrument   58   the end．  59  plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be  60   the meaning of life.
