world is filled with smart talented educated and gifted people We meet them every day A few days ago my car was not running well I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine I was amazed The sad truth is great talent is not enough I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than 100 000 a year A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase They are one skill away from great wealth There is an old saying that goes Job means just over broke And unfortunately I would say that the saying applies to millions of people Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence most workers live within their means They work and they pay the bills Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn more than what they will earn When I ask the classes I teach How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald s Almost all the students raise their hands I then ask So if most of you can cook a better hamburger how come McDonald s is excellent at business systems The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems The world is filled with talented poor people They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skill of selling and delivering the hamburger 44 The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that A he is just one of the talented people B he is ready to help others C he has a sharp sense of hearing D he knows little about car repairing 45 The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by A spend more than they can afford B do in their own way C live in their own circle D live within what they earn 46 Why do talented people earn so little according to the author A They don t work hard enough B They lack financial intelligence C They don t make full use of their talents D They have no specialized skills 47 The success of McDonald s lies in its A skills at making hamburgers B good business systems C talented workers D excellent service 48 The main purpose of the author is to tell us A how young people can find a satisfactory job B what schools should teach students C why so many talented people are poor D how McDonald s makes much money C A bag is useful and the word bag is useful too It reminds us of an interesting phrase 短语 i e to let the cat out of the bag In meaning it is the same as to tell the secret And there is an old interesting story about it Long ago when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market most of the time they would just throw the chickens in cloth bags But cats were cheaper than chickens so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags instead of chickens One day a woman asked a man for a chicken The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat The woman begged to see the chicken When the man opened the cloth bag a big black cat ran out Not a chicken The man s secret was out and everyone knew it Now when someone lets out 泄漏 a secret he lets the cat out of the bag And that is the story where the interesting phrase comes from 49 The phrase to let the cat out of the bag came from A a woman and a chicken B a man and a cat C a chicken and a cat D an interesting story 50 The woman wanted to buy A a cloth bag B a chicken C a black cat D a bag and a chicken 51 Why did the farmers put cats into their cloth bags instead of chickens A Because the farmers liked cats B Because people liked cats C Because cats were cheaper than chickens D Because cats were easy to find 52 In everyone knew it at the end of the second paragraph 段落 it refers to A there was a chicken in the man s bag B there was a cat in the cloth bag C the cloth bag D the man s cat 53 John lets the cat out of the bag means that he A makes everyone know a secret B puts the cats away from the bag C buys a cat in the bag D sells the cat in the bag D John Brown an office worker lives in Washington He inherited 1 000 000 when he was 23 He didn t feel happy at all His college friends were

over the world 200 a month for each The child does not receive the money in cash The money pays for the child s school expenses food medical care and clothing John receives a report each year on the child s progress They can write to each other but usually the children do not speak English When John first heard about these children he wanted to help them It was not anything special he said Until I had the chance to go to these countries and meet the children I was helping I did not know anything about the type of life they had Once John went to meet a little girl in Africa he said that the meeting was very exciting When I met her I felt very happy he said I saw that the money was used for a very good plan It brought me closer to the child in a way that giving money alone cannot I want to do everything I can I will go on helping those children in need he added 54 What kind of life is John living 55 Did John want to look for a job or stay at home after he got the money 56 Does John
