43、on.CEcono mics has long bee n known as an un pleasa nt scie nee. But is any econo mist so dull as to criticize Christmas? At first gla nee, the holiday seas on in western econo mies seems a treat for those who are concerned with such things as GDP growth. After all, every one is spe nding; in Americ

44、a, sellers make 25 % of their yearly sales and 60 % of their profits betwee n Than ksgivi ng and Christmas. Even so, econo mists find someth ing to worry about in the n ature of the purchases being made.Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others. At the simplest level, giving gifts involves

45、 the givers thinking of someth ing that the receiver would like he tries to guess her prefere nces, as econo mists say and then buying the gift and delivering it. Yet this guessing of preferences is often done badly. Everyyear, ties gounworn and books un read. And even if a gift is enjoyed, it may n

46、ot be what the receiver would have bought if they had spe nt the money themselves.In terested in this mismatch betwee n wants and gifts, in 1993 Joel Waldfogel, the n an econo mist at Yale University, attempted to estimate the disparity（ 差距） in dollar terms. He asked students two questions at the en

47、d of a holiday seas on: first, estimate the total amount paid （by the givers） for all the holiday gifts you received; second, apart from the emotional value of the items, if you did not have them, how much would you be willing to pay to get them? His results were unpleasant: on average, a gift was v

48、alued by the receiver well below the price paid by the giver.The most conservative（保守的）estimate put the average receiver s valuation at 90% of the buying price. The miss ing 10% is what econo mists call a deadweight loss; a waste of resources that could be avoided without making anyone poorer. I n o

49、ther words, if the giver gave the cash value of the purchase in stead of the gift itself, the receiver could then buy what she really wants and be better off for no extra cost. It suggests that in America, where givers spe nd $40 billi on on Christmas gifts, $ 4 billi on is being lost annu ally in t

50、he process of gift givi ng.Add in birthdays, weddi ngs and non Christia n occasi ons, and the figure would ballo on. So should econo mists call for an end to gift giving, or at least press for money to become the gift of choice?56. Why do some people regard the holiday seas on in wester n econo mies

51、 a treat?A. Because the econo mic situati on in US has bee n depress ing.B. Because America n sellers make a quarter of their yearly sales through holiday seas on.C. Because holiday spe nding can speed up GDP growth.D. Because sellers can make as much profit as 60 % over holiday seas on.57. Whats th

52、e main idea for the sec ond paragraph?A. In many cases the gifts cannot meet the receivers nWeds.B. The purchases made over holiday seas on are actually a waste of mon ey.C. Its really not easy to guess the others prefere nces.D. Much of the holiday spe nding is on gifts for others.58. The purpose o

53、f Joel Waldfogels study is to.A. prove the mismatch betwee n wants and giftsB. estimate the disparity betwee n wants and gifts in econo mic termsC. spark new ideas of econo mic studies on holiday spe ndingD. discover the exact cost of holiday spe nding on gift givi ng59. Econo mists think of the mis

54、us ing 10% of holiday spe nding as a deadweight loss becauseA. the cash value of the purchase is lower tha n the buying priceB. it is actually a waste of resources in econo mic termsC. with the money the receivers can be better off for no extra costD. it makes many people even poorer for spe nding m
