How would you ask your parents to support your dream? American actress Emma Stone created a PowerPoint presentation (陳述) to get her parents’ support.

Stone is a rising star in Hollywood. She played the role of Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man’s high school love, in two Spider-Man movies.

The actress said her character was like the girl’s in the film. “Gwen is clear on what she wants to do with her life. I think I am just like her.”

Stone made up her mind to become an actress at the age of 15. But would her parents agree to her leaving school early and realizing her dream? The young girl decided to use the presentation to help her. “I used a lot of computers when I was young, and my dad’s a businessman, so I just thought a presentation is the way to get support,” she said.

The presentation is called Project Hollywood and she used pop singer Madonna’s classic song Hollywood in it, saying “just please let me move to LA to be an actress.”

Her method proved to be a success. In 2004, Stone dropped out of high school and moved with her mother to Los Angeles. She began to study at home after that.

Now Stone is a successful actress with many films to her name. Her next step is to try different things like strange comedies.

The new science of spending comes to a surprising conclusion. How we use our money may __________ as much or more than how much we’ve got it.

Money spent on experiences, rather than material goods, brings along more happiness.

Imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning to discover $1 million under your bed. What would you do with that cash?

The money will probably make you think about one thing above all else—yourself. A large amount of research reveals that money __________ our selfish sides. We will __________ much on what that money can do for us alone. Perhaps you are imagining buying a faster car, or even a new house.

But studies show that __________ goods often fail to deliver lasting happiness. Fortunately, our ongoing research __________ many ways to get more happiness from every dollar you spend. Changing how you spend money can increase your happiness.

But making these __________ needs to challenge some of our ideas of spending. It’s hard not to view buying a house as a wise investment. But research shows it brings very little happiness. A study in the United States found that homeowners, on average, were no happier than renters.

So, working hard to save money for a house might not be such a good idea __________ it means spending less time with your families and friends. And dozens of studies show that people get more happiness from buying __________ than material things. Experimental purchase—such as trips, concerts and special meals—are more deeply connected to our sense of self.

And experiences come with one more advantage. They tend to bring us __________ to other people, but more often, material things are enjoyed __________. So social contacts are important to improve mental and physical health.
