Jeff Benzos recently spoke of spending a billion dollars a year on space. “The only way that I can see to deploy this much financial resource is by converting my Amazon winnings into _________ travel.” he explained during an Axel Springer awards ceremony in Berlin in April.

_________ was swift, with some suggesting that this “financial resource” might be better deployed to the thousands of Amazon employees who _________ food stamps to make ends meet. The _________ was clear: Bezos was a rich guy who lacked empathy for ordinary people.

In fact, gaffes(失言)such as Bezos’s come amid plenty of research that suggests the rich really do have less _________ than others.

A study at the University of California published in 2017 found that _________ individuals tended to experience more “self-oriented” positive emotions _________ those in lower lases tended to experience these feelings in a more “other - oriented” way.

In a similar vein, psychologists at Arizona University in 2015 found that, while the rich rated themselves as more empathetic, MRI scans taken while looking at pictures of suffering told a different story. The authors wrote: “People who are higher in social - economic status (SES) have _________ neural responses to others’ pain”. _________ those lower in SES “appear to be more attuned to others”.

Perhaps the most famous recent series of studies was done by a pair of Berkeley psychologists in 2012. One of these showed that drivers of luxury vehicles were more likely to __________ other motorists and less likely to let other drivers through. The two psychologists also discovered the rich were more likely to cheat, lie, steal and support immoral behavior at work.

So what gives? Is it impossible to be rich and __________? Clearly not. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are just two of the latest in a long line of the super - rich stretching back to the Roman senator Herodes Atticus who have given __________ away. In fairness to Bezos, he does believe that space exploration is vital to the future of humanity, so he may have some generalized feeling for our __________.

But even in the world of the rich, multi - billionaires are __________. So what about more “everyday” rich people, like the much maligned 1 percent?

If you belong to this group, money does allow you to isolate yourself from other (usually __________ ) groups in society. When you don’t meet people, it is easier to make sweeping generalizations such as “the poor are all lazy”

Hello, Mr. Wi­Fi. Life without you is next to impossible now. We're happy to sing your name from morning till evening, sometimes till dawn. _________I know you help me, sometimes you're making me do things with _________ attention. Many times I promise myself that I'll _________my feelings towards you, but you're _________ me closer and closer... You've entered both my home and my workplace. You're just a window for our _________ and information. But we people aren't _________only with the window. So we open all our doors for you. Is this a(n) _________ or some kind of attachment (依赖)? If this is an illness, is it curable? And if this is an attachment will you _________ me the lifelong togetherness?

We want you all days. Can't you take a few days off so that both you and I can _________? You're a poison — not a slow one but a super fast poison which holds our mind and makes us dance __________ its tune. Nowadays you're so __________ that anyone can buy and make you our companion. You'll never be bothered about our health but we'll __________ be concerned about your “health”. Because you accompany us everywhere and never let us be alone.

If you were a __________person made of flesh and blood (血肉之躯) would we love you the same? You control us with your numerous talents and we even can't get rid of you. We're all your __________. Sometimes I wonder how people in the previous generations __________, but if they did why can't we?
