Have you ever dreamt of winning the lottery (彩票)?Most people will dream of fast cars,large houses,and not having to work any more.In real life,however,that's not always what happens.
Dr H Van Haan,a writer of several books on lottery winners,says,"Winning the lottery doesn't change people's lives as much as we imagine."Most lottery winners keep their jobs,but often find that they lose their friends.Their friends will often ask them for money and these"friends"very often get angry if they don't share the money.
Lottery winners spend most of their first one million dollars on travelling.However,when the early excitement of travelling around the world has disappeared,the happiness that the money brings also disappears.In less than a year after winning,most winners say that they are not happier than before.
Too much money can make people unhappy,especially for those who are not used to it.One study shows that more than 30% of lottery winners lost most of their money in the first five years and many of them had money problems.Another report shows that a lot of people were happily married before they won the lottery,but they had problems with their partners after winning the money.
So,you see,although most people dream of winning the lottery,the dream can sometimes turn into a nightmare

52.Dr H Van Haan says that people who win the lottery___.
A.are as satisfied as they imagine
B.get angry when their friends ask for money

53.The underlined word nightmare in the last sentence means___.

54.After winning the lottery,lots of wives and husbands___.
A.are not so happy as before
B.are as happy as before
