    A week ago, I read When Money Talks, Listen! by Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read, and that included one trip to the coffee maker and about 10 distractions (分心)from Alex, our cat, who thinks he is the center of the universe.
    When I first received a copy, I thought it was a get-rich-quick type of publication. There is nothing wrong with that kind of book, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I figure 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 isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry for things far more important than money.
    I absolutely love this e-book. Why did I wait a week to write the review ? simple. I wanted to see if the impact it had on me could keep up. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle(副标题)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 a stop light to stop some while others made their way into the picture. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is.
    It has been a week and the impact is the same. I guarantee this is an e-book you’ll want to read. I urge you to visit the author’s website, MysterMoney. Com, and to download the e-book. You won’t
    regret it.
    小题1:What’s the purpose of the passage?
    A．to strongly recommend an e-book
    B．to show the author’s attitude to money
    C．to introduce the general idea of an e-book
    D．to tell us Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry
    小题2:The author didn’t write the review right after reading because _____.
    A．he was too excited to write anything
    B．he was not sure whether he liked the book
    C．he had to wait for Rich Ezzo’s permission
    D．he wondered if this book had a long influence on him
    小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．The author had known Rich Ezzo before
    B．The author hasn’t dreamed of getting rich instantly
    C．The author always prefers e-books to paper books
    D．The author likes the get-rich type of publication

    小题1:A
    小题2:D
    小题3:B

    小题1:短文的前三段介绍When Money Talks,最后一段从I guarantee this is an e-book you’ll want to read. I urge you to visit the author’s website, MysterMoney. Com, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it.可看出作者更直接去强烈推荐这本书。
    小题2:从短文第四段 I wanted to see if the impact it had on me could keep up.可知答案。
    小题3:，从第二段中but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I figure that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.可以看出作者不是一个追逐金钱的人。

    When someone steps on your toe by accident, you will hurt plenty．But it hurts even more, if you think the person does the same thing on purpose．Earlier studies have found that the feeling of pain can change with how it is experienced．That is why giving people sugar pills and saying they are medicine can make them feel better．
    This study examined whether self-reported pain is indeed higher when the events producing the pain are understood as intentionally caused by another person．For the study, the researchers told 40 volunteers that they were going to do a series of tasks, including color matching, number counting and discomfort assessment．This last task involved their receiving a brief electric shock to the wrist．They were told that a partner, sitting in another room, would choose which task they would do, and a computer screen helped them to know their partner’s choice．
    In some cases, the volunteers were told their partner had chosen the pain tolerance test．In others, they were told the computers would select the pain tolerance test regardless of their partner’s choice．When volunteers thought that their partners were making the shocks on them on purpose, the feeling made the pain worse．As a matter of fact, they were the same．
    This study provides evidence that the experience of pain changes depending upon how they think when people have been harmed．Specifically, the meaning of a harm — whether it was intended — influences the amount of pain it causes．So, although a broken toe may hurt, an intentionally broken toe should hurt more．
    小题1:It can be concluded from the text that _______．
    A．the feeling of pain varies from one person to another
    B．long-lasting pain damages people’s health
    C．pain is greater if harm seems to be intentionally done
    D．people suffer more from accidental pain
    小题2:What can we infer from the text?
    A．People can reduce pain by relaxing．
    B．Researchers study how pain is caused．
    C．Everyone should know the effect of pain．
    D．People should think more about pain．
    小题3:What does the underlined word “they” in the third paragraph refer to?
    A．Volunteers．B．Computers．
    C．Shocks．D．Pains．
    小题4:What’s the author’s attitude to the result of the study?  
    A．Indifferent．B．Sceptical．
    C．Disapproving．D．Approving．

    All her life,my mother wanted busy children.It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.
    You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house,leave a half-written letter on the dining room table,a magazine open on the chair,and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,”as she explained.
    My wife,one of her first visits to my mother’s house,placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink.When she returned,she found the packet had been removed.Confused(疑惑的),she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits,only to return to find that her drink had disappeared.Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks,so as not to make water rings on the end tables.Now she knows better.
    These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family.We were all inclined to(有……的倾向) forgetfulness,and it was common for one of us,upon returning from the bathroom,to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly.“Do you remember what I was doing?”was a question frequently asked,but rarely answered.
    Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows,and my brother does the cleaning in his house,perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet.I try not to think about it too much,but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

    Think back to this time last year. What was on your mind?
    Most likely, you were thinking about finals or the holidays, although in this city I’ve noticed that thinking about the holiday is a fancy way of saying how much stuff will I get.
    Now reflect on your thoughts for this holiday season. Most people are still thinking about the holidays, but I say that with a grain of salt. Everybody with a functioning brain and the ability to communicate knows that this holioday season comes with a pretty large price tag: the debt of all the hardships, both domestic and foreign, that we’ve faced over the past 12months.
    Let’s face it: some of us will get everything we want over the holidays. But there are others whose parents have lost their jobs or who have lost jobs themselves because of the current economic situation. As much as we try to ignore it, there is still economic unrest in the blue and gold suburb.
    In this situation, we have three options. One: We ignore the situation, like we seem to do for every bad thing that happens around us, because by God, it’s the American Way! Two: We recognize that our economy is shot, feel bad about it and spend our time wishing for the good old days. Three: We recognize that our economy is shot, but instead of moping, reflect on every good thing that we have going for us. Now, which option sounds best to you?
    I spent a week this summer working in and around New York City with the city’s homeless population. Or so I thought. Although a lot of the people I served were in fact homeless, a significant number of them had a job or a home or both. The truth of the importance of this situation is that they and thousands of others across the country can’t afford even the most basic things of life, even while working two jobs. Yet no one that I met complained about their hardships. Instead, they took whatever I happened to give them(which was, more often than enough, not enough) and were genuinely grateful for what they had.
    Wrap your heads around that statement for a second. These people worked their butts off to stay alive with minimal results, yet were overjoyed by a flimsy(脆弱的) paper plate with donated green beans on it. Although I am ashamed to admit it( both as a girthy figure and an affluent citizen), I have taken for granted most of my meals, let alone green beans, and I know for a fact that I am not alone.
    64. 小题1:According to the passage when people think about holidays they care much for ____.
    A．where to spend their holidaysB．how to spend their holidays
    C．what they can get for their holidaysD．who they should go to visit
    65. 小题2:When the author wrote the article, the economic situation in his country ____.
    A．began to go bad.B．began to improveC．was still seriousD．was favorable for middle class.
    66. 小题3:The author wrote the article mainly to advise people____.
    A．to be thankful in time of hardship.B．to spend their holidays in a wise way
    C．to think little about their holidaysD．to help the country to sail through the crisis
    67. 小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that the writer is most probably ______.
    A．a homeless childB．an old professorC．a famous scientistD．a young student
