How to Find Happiness without Buying it?Our materialistic society has led us to believe that happiness cannot be obtained without having money.Rather than learning to be satisfied with what we have, we _21_ (teach)to want more. We learn from advertising, and from the media, _22_ we need to buy trinkets and toys in order to make ourselves happy, or _23_ (fulfill) emotional needs, and that the purchases they are trying to talk us into will provide us with the psychological comfort we are looking for.Unfortunately, as a society we have bought into these _24_ (misguide)messages and have come to believe that _25_ (spend) money on certain items will bring us fame, fortune, happiness, beauty, or popularity. As a result, we trade hours of our lives working, sacrificing time that _26_ have been spent with our families, _27_ the pursuit of the almighty dollar. Actually, there are a number of ways to enjoy life without the need for a great deal of money. For example, Think about _28_ you would spend your time, and what you would do for enjoyment. Change your focus from material possessions to _29_ that bring you enjoyment, such as spending quality time with your family and friends.Certainly, it is important to work and earn enough to provide for our basic needs and the needs of our families, but it is important to recognize when the desire for personal possessions becomes overly consuming, _30_ otherwise will upset a balance between a satisfying work life and a rich home life. The best way to achieve such a balance is to ensure the drive for material possessions does not become all consuming.【答案】are taught ；that；to fulfill；misguided；spending；could；for；how；others；which【分析】21. 考查时态语态，句子缺谓语，teach sb，但是这里teach没有宾语，所以用被动。22. 考查连词，这是个宾语从句，从句不缺成分以及没有疑问意思，所以用that23. 考查非谓语，前面有个or，表示并列，所以跟前面的to make并列，所以填to fulfill24. 考查非谓语，做后面messages的前置定语，表示被动，所以填done的形式25. 考查非谓语，spend动名词在从句中的主语26. 考查情态动词，that后面是个从句，动词原形前考虑情态动词，根据句意，填写could27. 考查介词，后面是个名词短语，想到介词，根据句意填写for，表示为了28. 考查连词，think about后面是个宾语从句，根据句意是填写how29. 考查代词，from.to.,根据这个短语判断填写名词，但是不可以，所以想到代词，根据句意填写others30. 考查连词，这里which指代前面整句句子Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.
