17、on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）perched on the tree near their window. The father asked his son, “What is this? ” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?” The son said, “Fa
18、ther, I have just now told you Its a crow.” After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this? ” “Its a crow, a crow, a crow.” said the son loudly. A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?” This time the son shouted at his father,
19、 “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? IT IS A CROW. Are you not able to understand this?” A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son
20、 read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the

In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. Its clear that a new generation of young, materialis
24、tic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image(自我形象)。 I am a fashionist too, at least in spiritI love to look at clothes and shoes. But I dont understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her s
25、alary, thats a scary thing. Whats interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesnt lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we dont suddenly become“happy”people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at
26、the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material tings. Thats because experiences are more easily integrated into a persons identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I
27、 think in the future. My memories become a part of me. Moreover, as Van Boen has observed, young people who pursue happiness through“things”are liked less by their peers (同龄人). People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences. Its natural to want to express yourself through your appearan
28、ce. So, my advice is: create a look that isnt tied to a designer label. Convey your own message, Take some lessons from the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These peo
29、ple, successful people, have style. You dont have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. By Susan Chyn 28. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?A. The author enjoys buying

31、persons identity greatly. B. People dislike those who love luxuries. C. Experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries. D. Luxuries have a negative effect on peoples happiness. 30. Whats the authors advice on expressing oneself?A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create y our own personal, unique style. C. Choose styles that are simple and comfortable. D.
