  The new science of spending comes to a surprising conclusion .How we use our money may    as much or more than how much we’ve got it.
Money spent on experiences , rather than material goods,     more happiness.
Imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning to    $1 million under your bed .What would you do         that cash?
The money will probably make you think about one thing      all else---- yourself. A large amount of research reveals that money        our selfish sides. We will      much on what that money can do for us alone. Perhaps you are imagining buying a faster car, or even a new house.
But studies show that    goods often fail to deliver       happiness. Fortunately ,our ongoing research      many ways to get more happiness from every dollar you spend .Changing how you spend money can increase your happiness.
But making these       needs to challenge some of our ideas of spending. It’s hard not to      buying a house as a wise investment. But research shows it brings very little happiness. A study in the United States found that homeowners , on average ,were no happier than       .
So, working hard to save money for a house might not be such a good idea       it means spending less time with your families and friends.
And dozens of studies show that people get more happiness from buying       than material things. Experimental purchases—such as trips ,concerts and special meals –are more    connected to our sense of self.
And experiences come with one more    . They tend to bring us      to other people , but more often, material things are enjoyed      .So social contacts are important to       mental and physical health.

In modern society loneliness can be seen as a social phenomenon and people can experience loneliness for many reasons. It is a very common,        normally temporary, consequence of a breakup, divorce, or loss of any important          relationship. In these cases, loneliness may            both from the loss of a specific person or from dropping            of social circles. The loss of a significant person in one's life will           lead to a grief response; in this situation, one might feel lonely, even while in the          of others.
There are many different ways used to treat loneliness. The first step that most doctors          to patients is treatment. Short term treatment typically        over a period of ten to twenty weeks. During treatment, emphasis is put           understanding the cause of the problem, thoroughly changing the        thoughts, feelings, and attitudes resulting from the problem, and exploring ways to help the patient feel          . Some doctors also recommend group treatment a means to connect with other sufferers and establish a support system.
      treatment is animal-assisted treatment. Studies and surveys indicate that the          of animal companions such as dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs can          feelings of loneliness or depression among some sufferers.         the companionship the animal itself provides there may also be increased opportunities for            with other pet owners. Results of a study also suggest that            improper socialcognition (认知) offers the best chance of reducing loneliness.
     , loneliness can sometimes play an important role in the creative process. In some people, temporary or prolonged loneliness can lead to remarkable artistic and creative expression, for example, as was the             with poet Emily Dickinson, and many musicians. This is not to imply that loneliness itself ensures this creativity,         , it may have an influence on the subject matter of the artist and more likely be present in individuals engaged in creative activities.
