16.A week ago,I had the great pleasure of reading an e-book,When Money Talks,Listen!By Rich Ezzo.It took only about an hour to read.When I first received a copy,I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication.Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick,but my mind just doesn't run after dreams of wealth.I think that if God ever wants me to be rich,he knows where to find my purse.
When I began reading When Money Talks,Listen!,I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn't money hungry either.He,too,is hungry far more important than money.
Since I love this e-book so much,why wait a week to write the review?Simple.I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper.After reading the last word of the e-book,I totally agreed with the subtitle (副标题) which promised to forever change the way we thought about money.I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install (安装) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture,then I yielded (让路) them as a few ones arrived in town.I had a mental traffic jam,which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is.
It has been a week and the effect is the same.I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week.This is an e-book you'll want to read,I promise.I often recommend books to my daughter,and this is one that I didn't just"suggest"-I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one,"Read it,you'll love it."
I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn't go myself.I strongly advise you to visit the author's website,Myster Money,and to download the e-book.You won't regret it.

分析 本文讲述作者一周前读过一本书--由Rich Ezzo写的《聆听金钱万能论》(When Money Talks,Listen!by Rich Ezzo)刚开始作者以为这是个快速致富的书,但后来发现作者并不是以追求金钱为目的,这是本很不错的书,很值得推荐.
解答 43.A.细节理解题.短文的前三段介绍When Money Talks,最后一段从"I guarantee this is an e-book you'll want to read.I urge you to visit the author's website,MysterMoney.Com,and to download the e-book.You won't regret it."可看出作者更直接去强烈推荐这本书,所以选A项.
44.B.细节理解题.根据第二段提到"I think that if God ever wants me to be rich,he knows where to find my purse."我认为如果上帝想让我变得富有,你知道在哪能找到我的钱包,故选B项.
45.D.细节理解题.根据第四段"Since I love this e-book so much,why wait a week to write the review?Simple.I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper"因为我很喜欢这本书,为什么我不迫不急待这个序言呢,很简单,我想看看它对我所造成的影响,所以选D项.
46.D.推理判断题.根据第一段中"but my mind just doesn't run after dreams of wealth"可知,作者对金钱的追求并不是那么强烈的,文中并没有涉及到作者以前认识Rich Ezzo或者他比起传统的纸质书籍来更喜欢电子书的说法;A和B的干扰较轻,可排除;由第一段中"When I first received a copy,I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication.Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick,"可知,作者是不十分喜欢迅速致富的出版风格的,排除C;故选D.
点评 本故事属于一篇荐文,做题时先通读全文,然后带着问题,再浏览文章,找出答题所需要的依据.本文主要考查细节判断题,要求学生有很强的观察分析能力,并且要学会帅选无关的信息.
News of the first kind pays its rewards at once.A reader can enjoy an indirect experiencewithout any of the dangers or stresses involved.He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder,shake hishead sympathetically and safely at a hurricane,identify himself with the winning team,laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.News of the second kind,however,pays its rewards later.It sometimes requires the reader totolerate unpleasantness or annoyance-as,for example,when he reads of the threatening foreign situation,the mounting national debt,rising taxes,falling market,scarce housing,and cancer.It has a kind of"threat value."It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared.When a reader selects delayed reward news,he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work.When he selects news of the other kind,he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.
For any individual,of course,the boundaries of these two classes are not stable.For example,asociologist may read news of crime as a social problem,rather than for its immediate reward.Acoach may read a sports story for its threat value:he may have to play that team next week.Apolitician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting,not for its delayed reward,but very much as his wife reads an account of a party.In any given story of corruption or disaster,a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience,but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness.Therefore,while the division of categories holds in general,an individual's tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another,ordivide the experience between the two kinds of reward.
What news stories do you read? | |
Division of news stories | •People expect to get (71)rewards/rewardedfrom reading news. •News stories are roughly divided into two classes. •Some news will excite their readers instantly while others won't. |
(72)Explanationsof the two classes | •News of immediate reward will seemingly take their readers to the very frightening scene without actual (73)involvement. •Readers will associate themselves closely with what happens in the news stories and (74)sharesimilar feelings with those involved. |
•News of delayed reward will make readers suffer,or present a(75)threatto them. •News of delayed reward will induce the reader to (76)preparefor the reality while news of immediate reward will lead the reader to (77)withdraw from the reality. | |
Unstable boundaries of the two classes | What readers expect from news stories are largely shaped by their (78)profession(s)/intention. Serious readers will both get excited over what happens in some news stories and (79)adapt themselves to the reality. Thus,the division,on the whole,(80)dependson the reader. |
