What do we talk about when we talk about money？ We often think about what we can buy with

the money we have, what we can’t buy because we don’t have enough and what we’re planning to buy when we have more. We discuss the careers that bring us money and the expenses that take it away. We talk about our favourite shops and restaurants, the causes we support, the places we’ve been and seen. We share dreams that only money can make real.

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

Passage Four Does money buy happiness？It’s sometimes said that scientists have found no r

Passage Four

Does money buy happiness？It’s sometimes said that scientists have found no relationship between money and happiness，but that’s a myth，says University of Illinois psychologist Ed Denier.

The connection is complex. In fact，very rich people rate substantially higher in satisfaction with life than very poor people do，even within wealthy nations. He says“There is overwhelming evidence that money buys happiness.”said economist Andrew Oswald of the University of Warwick in England. The main debate，he said，is how strong the effect is.

Oswald recently reported a study of Britons who won between $ 2000 and $ 250000 in a lottery（彩票拍奖）. As a group，they showed a boost in happiness averaging a bit more than one point on a 36-point scale when surveyed two years after their win，compared to their levels two years before they won.

Daniel Kahneman，a Nobel-Prize winner and Princeton economist，and colleagues，recently declared that the notion that making a lot of money will produce good overall mood is“mostly illusory”. They noted that in one study，members of the high-income group were almost twice as likely to call themselves“very happy”as people from households with incomes below $ 2000. But other studies，rather than asking for a summary estimate of happiness，follow people through the day and repeatedly record their feelings. These studies show less effect of income on happiness，Kahneman and colleagues said.

There is still another twist to the money-happiness story. Even though people who make $ 150000 are considerably happier than those who make $ 40000，it’s not clear why，says psychologist Richard E. Lucas of Michigau Sate University.

Researchers conclude that any effect of money on happiness is smaller than most daydreamer assume.“People exaggerate how much happiness is bought by an extra few thousand，”Oswald said.“The quality of relationships has a far bigger effect than quite large rise in salary...It’s much better advice，if you’re looking for happiness in life，to try to find the right husband or wife than to try to double your salary.”

46. The main purpose of this passage is to discuss .

A. the contributions of household incomes to happiness

B. the complex relationship between money and happiness

C. the positive relations of money to happiness

D. the negative relations of money to happiness

第6题

It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, tr

ansportation, and other services.

A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person's benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense.

The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good can not be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100. The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we can not ask each person to make a direct payment in the form. of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.

According to the passage, public goods are______.

A．services enjoyed by all people

B．what we can buy and sell in public

C．products that we make for national defense

D．taxes paid by the people involved

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.
