By Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read. When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication. Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick, but my mind just doesnt chase after dreams of wealth. I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse. When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isnt money hungry either. He, too, is hungry far more important than money. Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review? Simple. I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install(安装) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yielded(让路) them as a few ones arrived in town. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is. It has been a week and the effect is the same. I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week. This is an e-book youll want to read, I promise. I often recommend books to my daughter, and this is one that I didnt just “suggest”-I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, “Read it, youll love it.” I would never point someone in a direction I wouldnt go myself. I urge you to visit the authors website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You wont regret it.41. According to the passage, a Get Rich Quick type of publication _.A. is what the author really cares forB. deals with how to make moneyC. is also an e-book written by Rich EzzoD. is more popular than e-books42.The author didnt write the review as soon as he finished reading the book because_. A. he was too excited to write anythingB. he was not sure whether he did wellC. he had to wait for Rich Ezzos permissionD. he wondered if the book would have long influence on him43. By saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4, the author probably _.A. shows that the book brought him many new thoughtsB. shows how bad the traffic is in townC. describes the difficulty in understanding the bookD. explains its hard to change ones attitude to money44.

It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! Im so stupid!” My friend burst out laughing, and then made her “Olympic” comment. After a brief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just during the previous day I had called myself “a slob” for having some papers spread out on my desk, “ugly” when I left the house without makeup and “an idiot” when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan. In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, “I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ourselves.” “How many did you have on your list?” I asked. “Fifteen,” she confessed. “But then the teacher said, Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person! ”My jaw dropped. “What did you do?” “Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, I could never say these things to anyone else! ”“And our teacher replied, Well, if you cant say them to anyone else, then dont ever say them to yourself! ”My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God-and Im Gods child, too! God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children. 45. What does Annabel mean by the first sentence of the passage? A. The writer is a good athlete. B. The writer scolds herself too much. C. She is encouraging the writer. D.

She will be kind to all children. C. She wont insult herself as well as others. D. She is willing to be a child of God. CThe rise of the so-called “boomerang generation” is revealed in official figures showing that almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.By contrast, only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago. It also found that grown-up sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s. With nearly a quarter of men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims of a “generation of mummys boys”.Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been nicknamed the “boomerang generation” because of the trend toward returning to the family home having initially left to study. Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to choose to live with their parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe. Rising property prices, mounting student debts and the effects of recession on the job market have forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally be moving out. But commentators warned that the phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing “dire” prospects than simply a desire to save money. While the proportion of those of university or college age moving out from the family home has continued to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has been reversed. Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more than 760,000 in their late 20s. In 1988, 22.7 per cent of men aged 25 to 29 were still living with their parents but last year the proportion was 24.5 per cent. 49. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The economic crisis has shown its effect on the young generation. B. More young professionals are returning home to live. C. British parents are suffering more loads from their grown-up children. D. Britain is suffering more than any other country in Europe. 50. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Male children seem to more independent than females. B. Eighty percent of university graduates were able to live independently two decades ago. C. The grown-up children choose to live with their parents only to save money. D. More and more children are moving out at university age. 51. What does the underlined word “dire” probably mean? A. promising. B. inconvenient. C. very bad. D. hopeful 52. The following factors may account for the phenomenon except _. A. that living prices have risen a lot. B. that its difficult to land a job. C. that education has already cost them a lot D. that parents can help them more DViolin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the worlds greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,” he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parents dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.Thats a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.53.Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because _.A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country54.Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that _.A. are highly motivated in the education of music B. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC. encourage people to compete with each otherD. promise talented children high positions55.Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?A. a natural gift.B. extensive knowledge of music.C. very early training.D. a prejudice-free society.56.Which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Jewish Contribution to Music B. Training of Musicians in the WorldC. Music and SocietyD. The Making of Music ProdigiesEI promised Michael I wouldnt mention this until the season was overNow l think its time Early last season, I wrote a column about an art of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadiumAfter it ran，I got a call from a marl in the western suburbsHe said，“I read what you wrote about Jordanbut I thought I should tell you another thing I saw”Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice. A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty .neighborhood? Not two boys, Jordan said. But four. And he named them. He said four names. And what did they talk about? Everything,” Jordan said. Anything. Ive asked to see their grades so that I can check to see if theyre paying attention to their study. If it turns out that one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it. Its just one more part of Michael Jordans life one more thing that no one knows about, and one more thing Jordan does fight for. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do J! When the expert reviewers begin to tuna against Jordan as they surely will, Ill think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.57. The writer wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends because _ A. he t
