In October, 2018, someone in South Carolina won$1. 5 billion. The nearly impossible odds(概率) of winning were 1 in 3, 025, 000! Many people probably wish they'd been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize.
It's not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery(彩票) winners show that it probably wouldn't, Suddenly coming into big money can change a person's life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways.
Take William Post, for example, who had only$2. 46 in the bank when he won $16. 2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn't as happy as he felt before winning the prize. Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, who won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realised that money didn't make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly to her only to get her money.
Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, such as receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don't need and give away too much money to friends and relatives.
Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food. clothes and a safe place to live and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they're making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment.
People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.
(1)、How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A、By giving examples. B、By listing numbers. C、By telling differences. D、By asking questions.(2)、What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage?A、They came from the same country. B、They won the lotteries in the same year. C、They were poor before winning the lotteries. D、They spent their money quickly and carelessly.(3)、What does the underlined word" lavish" in Paragraph 3 mean?A、Expensive. B、Funny. C、Surprising. D、Lucky.(4)、What's the writer's purpose in writing the passage?A、To encourage readers to make big money. B、To advise people to stay away from lotteries. C、To show his opinion about money and happiness. D、To share some success stories about finding happiness. -

That's true. According to research by scientists at the University of Oxford, AI will be better than humans at writing school essays by 2026, selling things by 2031, writing a best-selling book by 2049, and treating diseases by 2053. These are just a few examples of how AI will change the future. But wait, what about jobs? Will they steal our jobs in the future?

"Class, " said Mrs Ebbel. "I would like you all to2 Jeff Fishkin. "
Mrs Ebbel asked Jeff to introduce himself, He said something so 3 that Bradley couldn't hear what he said.
"Well, I guess we should find you a place to sit. "she looked 4 the classroom and said. "I don't see any empty seats, except the one at the back. Is uppose you can sit there. "
"I don't 5 where I sit, " Jeff answered.
"Nobody likes sitting next to me!" Bradley spoke up. He stared at(注视) Jeff with big 6 "Jeff sat down next to him.
As days went by, Bradley started to notice something 7 about Jeff. To Bradley's surprise, he was always 8 , even when no one else was around. " 9 do you always smile? There is no one around our seats. Don't you know that no one likes me?" Jeff looked at Bradley and said, "I smile because I'm happy. And as for the problem that no one likes you, I don't believe that's true. I think you just need to give people a 10 to get to know the real you a little better. "
Bradley felt 11 at Jeff's words. No one had ever spoken to him like that before. Over the next few weeks, Bradley started to 12 himself. He began to talk with other 13 in his class and started to take part in their discussions. He even started to smile more. And all the while, Jeff was there, sitting next to him, always smiling.
From that day on, Bradley and Jeff were 14 to each other. They ate lunch together, and played together at breaks.
Sometimes, all it takes is to find a person who 15 you and your life can be changed forever in this way. For Bradley, that person turned out to be Jeff.
