         9-10题答案（填空题）：

                 9：一个地址：Cotehele(此处没有给出拼写)

l 点评：

        此次的S1为过去考过的旧题，难度不大。需要注意的是文章中1-8题为选择题，考生必须提前看清选项做好记录，同义互换在S1中已经出现，做好思维转换的工作。另外，两个填空题是失分点，第九题的填空题，文章中并没有给出拼写，要靠考生自己去拼出来，对于一部分学生来说，有很大的困难。第十题，是一个编号，属于字母和数字的组合，而且原文的速度偏快，考生一定要及时做好记录。

如：住宿申请表类

一个professor 介绍如何申请大学以及一些大学状况，学生对住所的选择，学校对刚来的学生提供宿舍，长时间住的话可以住在学校外面，如果住在校外可以选择住宿家庭，可以提前联系。选择和填空都有，选择居多。

分析：提到住宿类，外面考生需要注意一些常考词汇，deposit, rent,refund,以及租金的听写，搬的日期，还有住所所在地址的听写，这些都需要注意，住在家庭还有饮食的要求，这个词也要会，allergy.

V110730 choice and happiness

真题题源文章：

下面为大家整理了一篇雅思阅读真题材料，这篇雅思阅读材料的主要内容是讨论了选择和幸福的关系，是一篇社会方面的材料，很抽象。虽然在这篇雅思阅读真题材料当中，我们遇到的生词可能会比科学类的少，但是理解起来可能更困难。

　　A Americans today choose among more options in more parts of life than has ever been possible before. To an extent， the opportunity to choose enhances our lives. It is only logical to think that if some choice is good， more is better； people who care about having infinite options will benefit from them， and those who do not can always just ignore the 273 versions of cereal they have never tried. Yet recent research strongly suggests that， psychologically， this assumption is wrong. Although some choice is undoubtedly better than none， more is not always better than less.

　　B Recent research offers insight into why many people end up unhappy rather than pleased when their options expand. We began by making a distinction between "maximizers" （those who always aim to make the best possible choice） and "satisficers" （those who aim for "good enough，" whether or not better selections might be out there）。

　　C In particular， we composed a set of statements―the Maximization Scale―to diagnose people's propensity to maximize. Then we had several thousand people rate themselves from 1 to 7 （from "completely disagree" to "completely agree"） on such statements as "I never settle for second best." We also evaluated their sense， of satisfaction with their decisions. We did not define a sharp cutoff to separate maximizers from satisficers， but in general， we think of individuals whose average scores are higher than 4 （the scale's midpoint） as maximizers and those whose scores are lower than the midpoint as satisficers. People who score highest on the test―the greatest maximizers―engage in more product comparisons than the lowest scorers， both before and after they make purchasing decisions， and they take longer to decide what to buy. When satisficers find an item that meets their standards， they stop looking. But maximizers exert enormous effort reading labels， checking out consumer magazines and trying new products. They also spend more time comparing their purchasing decisions with those of others.

　　D We found that the greatest maximizers are the least happy with the fruits of their efforts. When they compare themselves with others， they get little pleasure from finding out that they did better and substantial dissatisfaction from finding out that they did worse. They are more prone to experiencing regret after a purchase， and if their acquisition disappoints them， their sense of well-being takes longer to recover. They also tend to brood or ruminate more than satisficers do.

　　E Does it follow that maximizers are less happy in general than satisficers？ We tested this by having people fill out a variety of questionnaires known to be reliable indicators of well-being. As might be expected， individuals with high maximization scores experienced less satisfaction with life and were less happy， less optimistic and more depressed than people with low maximization scores. Indeed， those with extreme maximization ratings had depression scores that placed them in the borderline clinical range.

　　F Several factors explain why more choice is not always better than less， especially for maximizers. High among these are "opportunity costs." The quality of any given option cannot be assessed in isolation from its alternatives. One of the "costs" of making a selection is losing the opportunities that a different option would have afforded. Thus an opportunity cost of vacationing on the beach in Cape Cod might be missing the fabulous restaurants in the Napa Valley. If we assume that opportunity costs reduce the overall desirability of the most preferred choice， then the more alternatives there are， the deeper our sense of loss will be and the less satisfaction we will derive from our ultimate decision.
