In today's world many people seem to be hungry for money.Some of them even lose their lives for it.Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor,but once a person has a rich life,a lot more money doesn't mean more happiness.If money was everything,all
million-aires(百万富翁) would have true love,true friendship,good health and a long life.However,this is not always true.Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are“I love you”.But can love be bought? I afraid not.Love means to give,not to take.To every person,health and long life are probably the most pre-cious(宝贵的) things.Well,can health and a long life be bought with money?The answer is“No”.Of all the longest living people in the world,few of them are millionaires.True friend-ship can't be bought either.In a word,where money is worshiped(崇拜),money can cause brothers quarrel,lovers to hate,strangers to fight and so on.No matter how much money you have,it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with,no one to cry for.

What does the sentence“Love means to give,not to take.”mean in the passage?
Last Thursday,I traveled on the 8:00 a.m.train from Glasgow to London
King’s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company.
The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow.
A man at the station said sorry to us,but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay(误点).We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes.As a result,I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What’s more,the service on the train was also very poor.The trip took more than five hours.Unluckily,we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train.Worst of all,something was wrong with the air conditioning(空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train.Before we reached King’s Cross,the temperature was over 40℃.
Because of your poor service,I feel you should pay me compensation(赔偿).
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
David Robertson
