In Money Everything?
I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it. Fox example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education. And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life. But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food,
clothes and transportation. What’s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we
should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.
In short, we talk about everything but money itself. In daily life, money is still a major conversational taboo. This is a shame, because money is as interesting as the things it does and buys, and the more you know about it, the more interesting it is.
As a financial advisor, I’ve seen hundreds of people learn to control their money instead of letting it control them and watched as they increased as they increased their freedom, power and security by handling money consciously. Wouldn’t you like to know that you’ll always have enough money to live exactly as you want to?
You will never be powerful in life until you ’re powerful over your own money. Talking openly about it is the first step.
Which of the following is NOT discussed when we talk about money?
A.The careers that bring us money
B.The causes we support
C.The dreams that only money can make real
D.Money itself
What can we know from the second paragraph?A.We should know more about money itself rather than avoid talking about it.
B.Money itself can interest us and bring us happiness.
C.The more money we earn, the more we should know about it.
D.It is a shame that people talk too much about money.
What does the writer want to say in the third paragraph?A.People should learn how to make money.
B.People should know the value of money.
C.People should learn to control their money.
D.People should know how to use money to increase their power.
The writer’s advice that _____.A.the more you talk about money, the more you can control it.
B.we should learn to be a good master of our money if we want to be powerful in life
C.we should not be so worried about money if we want to have a free life
D.the more money you have, the more powerful you are
What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph?A.The importance of money

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.
Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.
But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt.
This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.
The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ().
A.do experiments with water
B.purify the used water and reuse it
C.use fresh water once again
D.make use of seawater
A.do experiments with water
B.purify the used water and reuse it
C.use fresh water once again
D.make use of seawater
Passage Two
How men first learned to invent words is unknown. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations--the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the happy and sad events of our past; the more we read and learn, the larger the number of words that mean something to us becomes.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This attractive use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and, by their position and association, can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech dull and silly.
Which of the following did men invent first?
A.Words.
B.Sounds.
C.Signs.
D.Letters.

The power of words, then, exists in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience, and the longer we live, the more certain words remind us of the glad and sad events of our past, and the more we read and learn, the more number of words increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which deeply attract our minds and emotions. This skillful use of words is called "literary style". Above all, a real poet can express his meaning in words which sing like music and can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them properly, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.

A.treasure handed down from the past

In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphases among the natural sciences themselves.
Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to mm our attention away from the sound, established materials that form. the basis of courses for beginners.
According to the first paragraph, the task of education is fairly complicated because ______.
A.the current public school system is too complicated to be understood
B.the public school system has no choice of what to teach
C.it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in public schools
D.the educators have to take care of both ordinary and gifted students
The power of words, then, lies in their combinations--the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts, but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above alt, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.
