6.If Money Were No ObjectThe Star Times recently asked people about their dreams.These are not the kind of dreams people have when they sleep.Instead,they are wonderful ideas and plans people have about things they could do.The newspaper asked people the following question:if money were not object,what would you like to do?In other words,if people had all the money they wanted,are there special things they would do with their lives?About 500people answered the survey questions.
Almost half of the people in the survey said they would buy material things such as a bigger house or a new car.About 20% or one fifth of the people said they would travel to interesting or famous places.17% answered that they would give money to someone else.In some cases,they would give money to a charity to help poor or needy people.In other cases,they would give money to their families.More than half of the rest of the people,about 10% of everyone asked,said they would donate or give money to help medical research.They want doctors and scientists to find cures for terrible diseases.Cures will help sick people get better.The rest of the people in the Star Times survey (about 4%) said that they would save money in bank.They said that they didn't know what they would like to do right now,but perhaps in a few years they would find a good use for the money.
Dr Mary Wilson is a sociologist at City University.Sociologists study people and the societies they live in.The newspaper asked if she was surprised by the results.She said she thought that lots of people think that if they bought bigger and better things,they would feel happier.However,Dr Wilson says the feeling would not last long.After a while,they would be unhappy with the house or the car.Dr Wilson thinks the happiest people are those who want to make a change in people's lives that will last into the future. She thinks those people who give money to a charity,to their families,and to medical research are thinking beyond themselves and their needs at this moment.If they had all the money they wanted,they would make a difference in the world.

110.回答问题:What would you do if you had all the money you wanted?
分析 短文大意:
如果钱不成问题,《明星时代》做了一项调查.
如果人们拥有他所需要的所有的钱,他想要做什么?五百人接受了这项调查.
几乎一半的人说他们想要买大一点的房子和汽车;百分之二十的人说他们想要去有趣的或有名的地方旅游;百分之十七的人说他想要把钱给其他的人…
一家报纸问玛丽.威尔森一位社会学家是否对这个结果感到惊讶,她说人们买好的房子和车,感到非常快乐,但是这种快乐不会久长.Wilson博士认为,快乐的人是那些想要改变人们的生活并且将这种快乐持续到未来的人.她认为那些把钱给慈善机构,家人和医学研究的人考虑的不只是他们自己和自己现在的需要.如果他们有想要的所有的钱,他们在世界上会有所不同.
解答 106.They are wonderful ideas and plans people have about things they could do.细节理解题. 根据The Star Times recently asked people about their dreams…Instead,they are wonderful ideas and plans people have about things they could do可知《明星时代》调查的关于人们谈论的梦想的类型就是那些人们能够做的美丽的计划和愿望",故答案为:They are wonderful ideas and plans people have about things they could do.
107.About 20% of the people.细节理解题.根据About 20% or one fifth of the people said they would travel to interesting or famous places可知,"百分之二十的人说他们想要去有趣的或有名的地方旅游",故答案为:About 20% of the people.
108. 她认为那些把钱给慈善机构,家人和医学研究的人考虑的不只是他们自己和自己现在的需要.翻译题.根据"She thinks可知后面跟了宾语从句充当think的宾语;who give money to a charity,to their families,and to medical research是who引导的定语从句修饰先行词those people,意思是"把钱给慈善机构,家人和医学研究的那些人们";根据主句的谓语动词are thinking 可知运用了现在进行时态.thinking beyond themselves and their needs意为不只是在为他们自己和需要考虑;翻译时注意语序,故答案为:她认为那些把钱给慈善机构,家人和医学研究的人考虑的不只是他们自己和自己现在的需要.
109.They are people who want to make a change in people's lives that will last into the future.细节理解题.根据Dr Wilson thinks the happiest people are those who want to make a change in people's lives that will last into the future可知,"玛丽.威尔森认为谁是最快乐的人就是对人们的生活产生变化并持续到将来的人",故答案为:They are people who want to make a change in people's lives that will last into the future.
110.I would like to help the people in trouble if I had all the money I wanted.发挥题.本题可根据短文大意或自己的真实想法,句式正确符合逻辑即可.本题参考答案意思是"如果我有了我想要的全部的钱,我想要帮助那些困难中的人们".
