Read
the
first
paragraph
of
a
passage.
Many
of
us
in
developed
societies
are
trapped
in
a
spending
circle.
We
work
hard
so
that
we
can
earn
more
money.
When
we
have
more
money,
we
spend
more
and
because
we
spend
more,
we
have
to
work
even
harder.
Sometimes
we
try
to
deposit
a
little
or
change
our
money
into
different
countries’
currencies
in
the
hope
that
we
can
make
even
more
money.
But
strangely
enough,
the
more
money
we
earn,
the
less
often
we
see
it.
Instead,
we
start
putting
our
signatures
on
credit
cards
and
spend
money
we
don’t
even
have.
Besides,
we’re
all
taxpayers
so
the
more
we
earn
the
more
tax
we
have
to
pay
to
those
who
govern
us.
Thus,
the
circle
goes
round
and
round
gets
more
and
more
complicated

Extensive
reading
Read
the
following
passage
and
compare
the
persuasion
of
the
two
passages.
Which
one
do
you
think
is
more
persuasive
and
why.
Why
fewer
is
better
Lin
Hanxing
is
a
30-year-old
who
lives
in
Beijing.
She
owns
just
five
shirts,
two
pairs
of
pants,
four
pairs
of
shoes
and
a
few
other
things.
It’s
hard
to
believe
that
only
five
years
ago,
Lin
was
one
of
those
people
who
couldn’t
stop
buying
stuff.
Back
then,
she
had
more
than
400
pieces
of
clothing
and
handbags.
But
that
was
before
she
saw
an
online
challenge
in
2014,
introduced
by
Joshua
Becker,
a
blogger
in
the
United
States
who
was
promoting
(推广)
a
minimalist
lifestyle
(极简生活方式).
He
encouraged
people
to
reduce
the
number
of
their
belongings
to
fewer
than
100.
Lin
decided
to
give
it
a
try.
She
got
rid
of
90
percent
of
her
stuff.
She
also
deleted
(删除)
120
contacts
she
never
spoke
to
from
her
social
networking
account.
After
doing
all
that,
Lin
said
she
felt
“lighter”.
We
used
to
think
owning
more
was
the
way
to
lead
a
rich
life.
But
now
many
people
tend
to
believe
that
the
opposite
is
also
true
–
and
perhaps
truer.
According
to
US
sociologist
Joel
Stillerman,
people
who
are
educated
and
well-off
are
more
likely
to
have
a
minimalist
lifestyle.
“These
people
are
making
the
statement:
‘I
can
afford
to
have
less.’,”
he
said.
But
leading
a
minimalist
lifestyle
doesn’t
mean
spending
less.
A
report
by
UK
market
research
company
Euromonitor
found
young
Chinese
people
spend
less
on
possessions,
but
more
on
short
holidays
and
visits
to
the
movies.
“They
are
looking
for
a
life
that
is
all
about
culture,”
Alison
Angus,
head
of
lifestyles
at
Euromonitor,
said
about
Chinese
youth.
So
perhaps
it
all
comes
down
to
how
we
define
(定义)
“rich”.
Is
wealth
in
life
about
buying
more
and
owning
more,
or
is
it
about
learning
more
and
experiencing
more?
