Today we are developing a new idea—Money is the measure of all things. More and more, people are being judged by what they own, and not by their good qualities. This is certainly true among many people in China.

According to a survey that was done in 2013, China is the most materialistic(物欲的) country in the world. Twenty-three percent of Chinese said they measured success by the things they owned (cars, homes, jewelry, designer clothes) compared with just 21 percent in America, 20 percent in Canada, and 16 percent in Britain.

This love of materialistic has spread into schools where some kids like to show off their Apple Watches, iPhone7 and expensive running shoes. Some poorer students now feel worried by their richer classmates and sad by their poor families. In some cases this has affected their performance in school.

But having rich parents doesn’t automatically(自動地) bring good grades and having poor parents doesn’t certainly bring bad grades. It is hard wok that is the key to success, not the cost of your running shoes. And hard work is what develops good characters, not money, that should be the measure of all things.

1.What is the measure of all things for many people in China?

A. Success. B. The good quality. C. The good grades. D. Money.

2.According to the survey, how many Chinese judged success by the things they owned?

A. 23% of Chinese. B. 21% of Chinese. C. 20% of Chinese. D. 16% of Chinese.

3.Why do some students like showing off expensive things in school?

A. Because their families are very rich.

B. Because of the worship of materialism.

C. Because expensive things can bring good grades.

D. Because they are good at all kinds of subjects.

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Poor students can hardly get good grades.

B. Rich students have the worship of materialism.

C. We should correct the worship of materialism.

D. Canadians have the least the worship of materialism in rate.

The wife asked the husband, “In this life, what did you miss?”

When she was 25, the husband replied, “I missed a chance of finding a new job.”

When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus.

At 45, the husband sadly said, “I missed the chance of seeing my closed relative before his last breath.”

At 55, the husband said disappointingly, “I missed a good chance to retire.”

At 65, the husband hurried replied, “I missed the dentist’s appointment.”

At 75, the wife didn’t ask the husband any more, the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, “43In this life, I didn’t miss having you!

The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work. So much that he had never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged his wife tightly and said, “Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me.”

In the busy city life, there are many people who are always busy with work. These people revolve(旋轉) their lives around their jobs. They are unwilling to spend time on health care. They missed the chance to be with their children in their growing up. They neglect(忽略) the loved ones who care for them, and also their health.

44Nobody knows what is going to happen one year from now.

Life is not permanent(永恒的), so always live in the now. Express your gratitude to your loved ones in words. Show your care with actions. Treat every day as the last day of life. In this way, when you gone, your loved ones would have nothing to feel sorry about.
