听力原文:Millions of people in North America buy lottery tickets. For a small amount of money——
usually from one to ten dollars—can win a million dollars or more if your ticket is the winning
ticket.
We often envy these winners. How happy we would be, we think, if we suddenly had more than a million dollars in our bank account! How different the rest of our life would be!
It would certainly be different, but a recent study of thirty of these instant millionaires reveals a number of negative factors.
One of' the first changes they become aware of is a loss of privacy. They are harassed by letters and phone calls from people they don't know asking for money. They may have to move to another town or province. Sometimes they are afraid other members of the family will be kidnapped. Faced with all this stress, many lottery winners experience long periods of depression.
Their working life also changes. At first, most winners, intend to keep on working at the same job. But few of them do. A few years after they became wealthy, only seven of our thirty millionaires were working. Sometimes their fellow workers criticize them for working while others are unemployed and looking for a job.
The study concluded that sudden wealth will bring same measure of misery and possibly physical and mental illness to all lottery winners. Yet in spite of these negative factors, not a single winner was prepared to give the money back. Money may not bring happiness, but it allows us to be miserable in comfort.
How much money do people usually spend buying one lottery ticket?

A. Ten dollars.
B. One dollars.
C. One hundred dollars.
D. From one to ten dollars.
