湖北省随州市2014高考英语阅读理解、短文改错训练（5）（答案或解析）When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a hightech job but he couldnt balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip，” says the 45yearold father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement.”One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it: Thousands of us avoid investing because we just dont get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didnt understand this stuff，” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (能手) I knew to explain things to me.”He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars，cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they went for an expensive vacation. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say, I need to refinance my house what should I do? A lot of times，I wouldnt know the answer, but Id go to find it and learn something in the process，” he says.In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars (研讨会) for employees of corporations like WalMart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and its paid off: He now owns $ 30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.“I was an engineer who never thought this life was possible, but all it truly takes is a little selfeducation，” says Steve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics.”语篇解读经过不断的学习，史蒂夫从不懂理财的工程师发展成为善于理财的百万富翁。1.

It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient. At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction. I started wondering why 1 refused to run the light I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman wound, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it. Much later that night, the question of why Id stopped for that light came back to me. I think Istopped because its part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. Its not only the law, but it is an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we dont go through red lights. Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust We do what we say well do; we show up when we say well show up; and we pay when we say well pay. We trust each other in these matters, and were angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.63.

The event made the author strongly believe that . A. traffic rules may be unnecessary B. doubting others is human nature C. patience is important to drivers D. a society needs mutual trust66. Why was the author proud of himself? A He kept his promise. B. He held back his anger. C. He followed his inclination. D.
