Buying HappinessSpending money is often a part of the search for happiness. Some people

purchase objects, such as cars or watches, to make themselves feel good.( 26 ), money can also be spent on experiences, such as taking a vacation oreating an expensive meal. According to research by Ryan Howell of SanFrancisco State University, even though more people seek happiness by buyingmaterial goods, spending money on experiences tends to make people happier.

In his study, Howell talked to individuals before and after they madespending decisions about both material goods and life experiences. Beforespending, most respondents expressed the belief that an experience might be moreenjoyable but a new possession would be worth more to them. When they wereinterviewed again after spending, the respondents’ answers generally showed thatthey ( 27 ). The majority reported that life experiences had given them morevalue for their money. According to Howell, since economic value is usuallyassociated with objects rather than memories, it is difficult for people to estimatethe value of experiences beforehand.

For example, when peopledecided to buy an experience based on their personal interests and values, it madethem feel better about themselves and more connected to others.

Caulerpa TaxifoliaIn 1980, Germany’s Wilhelma Zoo began breeding a type of seaweed known

as Caulerpa taxifolia to create a faster-growing variety of it than is found innature. This variety was particularly useful for aquariums, and soon other facilitiesbegan to use it as well. At some point, however, the seaweed ( 29 ). In1984, a single square meter of Caulerpa was found growing in the MediterraneanSea outside an aquarium in Monaco. It had most likely entered the ecosystem bybeing washed down a drain as a result of human carelessness.

By the early 1990s, Caulerpa had spread to at least 38 different sites and wascovering thousands of hectares of the ocean floor. It crowded out native seaweedspecies and threatened organisms that depended on those plants for food andhabitat. Many experts began arguing that Caulerpa ( 30 ). This was easiersaid than done, however, because it had already spread to so many different areas.Also, because it releases toxic chemicals, most marine animals will not eat it, so itcannot be controlled naturally.

So far, California is the only place that has ( 31 ). When Caulerpa wasdiscovered in California in 2000, the government responded very quickly. First,they made Caulerpa illegal, even in private fish tanks. They covered all theCaulerpa in the ocean with black plastic to cut off sunlight and then pumpedchemicals into the water to kill it. Other areas are also considering removing itfrom their ecosystems using similar methods because the plant is such a significantproblem.

Energy-Efficient HomesHome improvements such as using insulation and energy-efficient windows to lower

heating and air-conditioning bills can greatly affect quality of life for low-incomefamilies. In 2014, researchers at New York’s Columbia University interviewed 20 rentersand homeowners in a low-income community in New York City before and after helpingthose people make energy-efficiency upgrades to their homes. The researchers found coldand heat caused not only extreme physical discomfort but health problems as well.Increased heating costs in winter months also used up so much of people’s budgets theywere forced to reduce their calorie intake. Additionally, poor air quality due to reducedair-conditioner use can increase the risk of illness. People whose homes were upgradedreported greater physical and mental ease, as well as energy savings of around 30 percent,averaging $20 $60 per month.

Despite these benefits, a study by University of Chicago economists was critical ofthe cost-effectiveness of government programs that provide money for energy-efficiencyupgrades for low-income households. Around 7,500 households in Michigan were givenan average of $5,000 worth of free upgrades as part of a larger energy-efficiencyprogram. The researchers found that the measures reduced the households’ energyconsumption by about 10 20 percent each month. However, these savings would amountto an average of just $2,400 over the lifetime of the upgrades in other words, less thanhalf the amount of the initial investment.

The study also highlighted another issue regarding energy-efficiency programs. It hadlong been believed that low-income earners tended not to participate because they wereunaware of the programs’ existence. In the University of Chicago study, however, anintensive marketing campaign consisting of thousands of telephone calls and home visitsraised the Michigan program’s participation rate by only a few percentage points. Thegreat expense and effort required for such a tiny effect indicates that it may be time tolook for a new approach to improving living conditions among low-income earners.

Read each passage and choose the best answer from among the

four choices for each question. Then, on your answer sheet, find the

number of the question and mark your answer.3


� 9 �

(32) What is one thing that the Columbia University study showed about low-incomeearners?

1 They tend to believe that energy-efficiency upgrades to their homes aremore costly than they really are.

2 They are forced to reduce their spending on food because of the high costof heating in winter.

3 They spend far less money on heating in winter than they spend on airconditioning in summer.

4 They spend an average of 30 percent less on heating and cooling thanpeople with middle or high incomes.

(33) What is one criticism of the government’s support for energy-efficiencyimprovements in Michigan?

1 The results varied so widely between participants that it was impossible tomeasure the program’s effectiveness.

2 Some participants discovered that the changes ended up raising their homeheating and cooling expenses.

3 The total cost of home improvements was more than twice as much onaverage as the savings they would produce.

4 By trying to make improvements to so many homes, the government endedup doing poor-quality work that reduced cost savings.

(34) The University of Chicago study suggested that1 major increases in participation rates for energy-efficiency upgradeprograms could be achieved by targeting low-income earners.

2 it is common for campaigns marketing energy-efficiency upgrades to bedishonest with low-income earners.

3 combining energy-efficiency upgrades for low-income earners with in-homeeducation programs makes the results more effective.

4 it is untrue that if more people knew about them, energy-efficiency upgradeprograms for low-income earners would be successful.

Bonnie and Clyde: The First Modern American FilmWhen the film Bonnie and Clyde was first released in 1967, critics hated it. Based

on the true story of two lovers named Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who robbedbanks together in the 1930s, the movie was called “tasteless,” “evil,” and “stomach-turning” by early reviewers. It was also said to promote criminal behavior and was by farthe most violent film ever shown in U.S. theaters. Today, however, it is regarded as awork of creative genius, and the beginning of modern American cinema.

Since the 1930s, American directors had been following a set of industry guidelinesknown as the Hays Code. A main rule of the code was that movies should avoid thepromotion of “crimes, wrongdoing, evil, or sin.” Bonnie and Clyde shocked the UnitedStates by going against this; the film showed its main characters enjoying their life ofcrime and expressing little guilt about shooting people. By making the police who chasedthem seem evil and focusing on the romance between the characters of Bonnie andClyde, however, director Arthur Penn caused viewers to sympathize with the twocharacters. In fact, the tremendous popularity of these antiheroes led other filmmakers toinclude main characters that have strong dark sides in their films, and today suchcharacters have become associated with American cinema.

Another issue was that the Hays Code permitted limited violence, but blood andpainful suffering were strictly forbidden. Bonnie and Clyde contains numerous acts ofextreme violence, and Penn used innovative techniques such as quick cuts between scenesand slow-motion photography to make such scenes even more intense. Penn felt thegeneral public was used to seeing violence because images of death and fighting from theVietnam War were becoming common in the media. Further, violent crime in the UnitedStates was increasing, and Penn believed it was important to show how things reallywere. When Bonnie and Clyde became a huge hit, it demonstrated that the Hays Codehad lost its power, and the door was opened to the high levels of violence in cinema thatare taken for granted today.

Modern viewers of Bonnie and Clyde may be surprised because the film does notseem at all shocking now. However, this is because Arthur Penn’s pioneering filmmakingtechniques, use of antihero characters, and willingness to show realistic violence havebeen so widely imitated that they are now barely noticeable in the movie that pioneeredthem.

� 11 �

(35) One reason that Bonnie and Clyde was shocking when it was released is that1 the film failed to include a warning required by the Hays Code about thenumerous acts of violence that were shown.

2 the director claimed he did not think the things Bonnie Parker and ClydeBarrow did were wrong.

3 the main characters did things that did not meet the moral standards of theAmerican film industry.

4 the inability of the police to arrest the two main characters made lawenforcement officials look foolish.

(36) Why did Arthur Penn put so much violence in Bonnie and Clyde?1 He wanted his film to reflect changes that were taking place in Americansociety at the time.

2 He realized that innovations in technology could be used to show more-realistic violence in movies.

3 He was trying to criticize the extreme violence that was becoming commonin American films about the Vietnam War.

4 He knew that if there were a lot of complaints about the violence in thefilm, the publicity would make the film a hit.

(37) What does the author of the passage say about the way modern viewers mayreact to Bonnie and Clyde?

1 Viewers often find that the characters in the film actually appear to be moreviolent and evil than characters in modern films.

2 The film has had such a powerful influence that the things that once made itcontroversial seem very common now.

3 Viewers are usually surprised by how greatly American culture has changedsince Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were alive.

4 Modern reactions to the film are due to changes Penn made after criticspointed out problems with his filmmaking style.

The Rise and Fall of the Company TownThe 1800s saw a dramatic change in the U.S. economy as it began to shift from

agriculture to the production of manufactured goods. Many farmers who had struggled tofeed themselves in rural areas moved to urban centers like New York City, where theycould earn a regular income and improve their living standards through factory work. Thefactories, however, required enormous quantities of resources such as metal, coal, andlumber. These resources were generally located in faraway areas, and though railroadsmade it possible to ship them to cities where factories were located, companies faced agreat challenge in hiring and maintaining the sizeable workforces required to supplyresources to their factories.

This situation led to the development of the company town, built in rural areas by asingle company that was both the workers’ sole employer and the owner of the area’shousing, shops, and public facilities. Although urbanization had come with advantages,the lower classes in cities had little job security, and laborers frequently worked longshifts in unsafe conditions for low wages. Their apartments were small and dirty, andthey often could not afford to educate their children. Company towns addressed theseissues by offering better incomes and planned communities with comfortable housing andaffordable schools and entertainment. It is no surprise, therefore, that company townsspread throughout the United States.

At first, happy employees often meant higher productivity and profits. However,some companies soon began coming up with ways to take advantage of workers. Theextreme isolation of the company town, combined with monopolies on housing andcommerce, gave businesses a great influence over their employees company presidentsoften served as town mayors, for example. Higher salaries attracted people to companytowns, but employees had no choice but to shop in the company store, where inflatedprices soon put them in debt to their employers, trapping them in their new community.One coal miner said, “I can’t afford to die. I owe my soul to the company store.”

Workers occasionally went on strike to protest conditions in company towns, as inthe case of the 6,000 workers who walked off the job in the town of Pullman, Illinois, in1894. Though affected by protests in a few individual communities, however, businesscontinued as usual in the majority of company towns until the 1920s. The towns did notbegin to decline until increased prosperity and new credit systems allowed Americans topurchase previously unaffordable items. Automobiles, in particular, were significant asthey meant employees were no longer tied to jobs close to their homes. In addition,government-funded public facilities such as schools became more common, meaningworkers were less dependent on their employers.

The final blow that effectively ended company towns came in the 1930s with agovernment program known as the New Deal. It raised wages and made it easier forworkers to afford their own houses. Today, although a few company towns areremembered for the benefits they brought to the lives of the employees who lived inthem, in general, the disappearance of the company town is regarded as a positivechange.

� 13 �

(38) What problem developed as U.S. industry grew in the 1800s?1 The majority of factory workers were saving the money they earned insteadof spending it on manufactured goods.

2 Many workers preferred to remain living in rural areas because they feltliving standards were lower in the cities.

3 The high shipping rates charged by railroads for transporting raw materialslimited the ability of businesses to expand.

4 Raw materials needed for industrial production were usually located farfrom cities with large numbers of workers.

(39) What is one factor that led to the spread of company towns?1 Since employees did not have to work for multiple companies to supportthemselves, they had more time to enjoy themselves in the towns.

2 By adopting ideas that had been developed outside the United States,companies were able to improve workplace facilities.

3 Company owners were able to appeal to members of the lower classes byoffering them jobs with better working and living conditions.

4 People in rural areas who were jealous of living conditions in large citiesstarted trying to attract companies to their area.

(40) One disadvantage of company towns was that1 frequent shortages of basic necessities at company-owned stores made itnearly impossible for workers to live comfortable lives.

2 local mayors were often pressured to close down businesses that werecompeting with company stores.

3 companies had a large degree of control over their employees’ lives, evenwhen the employees were not working.

4 productivity was negatively affected because employees tended to leavetheir companies in search of higher salaries.

(41) What is one reason behind the disappearance of company towns?1 Economic changes made it possible for workers to buy cars, giving themmore options regarding their place of work.

2 A series of strikes hurt business owners, making them realize workerswould no longer accept the conditions in company towns.

3 The government made laws restricting the ability of companies to set overlyhigh prices at company stores.

4 Changes in public opinion about company towns convinced industrialists tolook for new ways to bring workers to isolated areas.
