Recently, professor of philosophy(哲學(xué))in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our daily life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.
He says our relations with others often become clearly defined(清晰的)when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful relationship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?
Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I don’t know much. All I am is rich.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
1.According to the first paragraph, people have not realized ______.
A. how important money is in their daily life
B. how one spends money shows what is important to him
C. that money is more important than their philosophy of life
D. that their understanding of life is more important than money
2.The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money ________.
A. is a good way to test your friendship
B. will do harm to your friendship
C. will strengthen your friendship
D. is a good way to break off your friendship
3.What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?
A. Money is an end. B. Money is a means.
C. Money is everything. D. Money is unimportant
4.The underlined phrase “enter the picture” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_________”.
A. is used upB. is spent on pictures
C. is paid in the right wayD. is paid attention to
5.What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?
A. He doesn’t feel that he is well educated.
B. He doesn’t think he is a very important person.
C. He doesn’t consider himself to be very successful.
D. He doesn’t think that being rich deserves so much attention.

All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life,but any parent can tell you that it’s hard to let go of your children.That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking.Years of experience means that parents often do know best,but on the other hand,the young,being less bound by tradition,are often more creative,more able to find new solutions to old problems.Revolutions are led by the young.
Good teachers make the growth of critical (批判性的) thinking easier in their students,only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs.Schools encourage parents to become involved,but are often embarrassed when parents have reservations about some of the educational methods being used.Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process.And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government.The rebellions (叛逆的)young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development.They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands,but their voices must be heard.
Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities.Indeed,sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting,just because it is not accepted by authority.Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts,know as much as possible about he lives of their children,provide a good example,encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them.But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.

A.conventionalB.creative
C.realistic D.heartbreaking
2.From the second paragraph we know__________________.
A.the voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the government
B.schools encourage parents to question their education methods

3.In order to educate children well,parents should_________________.
A.forbid particular behaviors in their daily life
B.know as much as possible as their children
C.educate them with facts and expect much of them
D. know them well and set a good example to them
4.From the passage we can learn that the author prefers ___________________.
A.free parenting B.traditional parenting

An ATM that spits out cupcakes instead of cash is now filling a popular demand in the American market:late-night desire for freshly baked sweets.
In six cities across the country, sugar addicts can now purchase a cupcake for $4.25 from an automatic machine 24 hours every day.The freshly baked goods are made by the California-based cupcake shop Sprinkles.
The idea came to the company's co-founders Candace and Charles Nelson when Candace was pregnant with their first child.

Charles said each ATM serves about l,000 cupcakes per day.The machine is so popular that when it appeared in Manhattan, customers were lined up around the block to use it.
Yet,inventing the first cupcake ATM was not as easy as convincing customers to use it.When the Nelsons started defigning the machine,they quickly realized nothing existed that could give a fully unbroken cupcake to a customer.The company had to partner with a European firm to develop the technology that could deliver a cupcake without dropping it several feet like a typical machine.After going through a seeond development cycle with the product, the ATMs can now satisfy tlle demand of growing customers and even make as many as four cupcakes at a time.
In terms of the company, the-machine allows Sprinkles to do the impossible:increase hours of operation without raising costs.Now the company can sell cupcakes around the clock through the ATM without paying employees.
