C. Fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给）（14分）

Which would you rather spend your money on, an outing with friends or a pair of expensive shoes? It is my opinion that spending money on experiences brings greater happiness.

My first (71) r_______________ is that experiences make us different as we grow. We are not the result of the things we’ve bought. Instead, we are the result of everything we’ve seen and done. For example, getting expensive clothes didn’t (72) c_______________ me as a person, but the camping trip last summer certainly did. It made me more independent.

In addition, I (73) p_______________ experiences because they bring people together. Sharing a new experience develops stronger relationships and creates long-lasting memories. Three years ago I met some teenagers on a study trip and now I am (74) s_______________ in touch with them, but I hardly remember what I bought during the trip.

My final point is that, although some people say it is a great (75) j_______________ to own things, I think using the things you own is more pleasant. For example, I spend most of my spare money on new parts for my old mountain bike, but I love the experience of (76) c_______________, not owning bike parts!

To sum up, experiences make us who we are and develop stronger relationships. So next time before you pay for something, give it some (77) s_______________ thought. Ask yourself, “Which will I spend my money on, an outing or a pair of shoes?”
