A young man was complaining about his bad luck and poverty. He frowned (皱眉) all day. A wise old man came to him and said, “Hey, kid, why are you so unhappy?”
“I don’t understand why I'm so poor!” he replied.
“Poor? I think you are very wealthy!” the wise old man said sincerely.
The young man was puzzled, “Why do you say that?”
“Supposing someone offers you one thousand dollars to cut your finger off, would you do it?” “Of course not!” the young man replied.
“And ten thousand dollars to chop your leg off?” “Certainly not!”
“A hundred thousand dollars to scoop your eyes out?” “Surely not!”
“One million dollars to turn you into a 90-year-old man immediately?”
“Definitely not!”
“Ten million dollars to take your life right away?” “Absolutely not!”
The wise old man said with a smile, “So there you are. You already possess what is worth more than ten million dollars. Why are you still sad to be so poor?” After the young man listened to the wise old man's words, it started to become clear to him.

Health is More Important than Money
A young man was always complaining about his poverty. However, only after a conversation with a wise old man did he realize wealth was not money but health.
I definitely approve the wise old man’s idea that the real wealth is our healthy body rather than enough money. My reason is that it is no use having enough money if we have no health body.
As for the relationship between health and money, in my opinion, health is more important than money. Without good health, it is impossible to do whatever you want to do. For example, supposing you are handicapped in wheelchair, even if you have a big sum of money, you can’t still travel all over the world and go wherever you want to go.
As a result, as a high school student, not only should we be concerned about our study, but we should also make more use of our time to do sports and do more body-buildings.
【解析】
试题分析：概括原文的大意不是缩写，不能引用原文的语句，它也不是改写，不能把原句加以变形就完事；主要是概括和抽象，把具体的信息用一些具有高度概括功能的词和句表述出来。与原文某个或某些句子完全一致或大部分一致。有同学写摘要就从原文的开头部分、中间部分和结尾部分各抄一句，以为这就是“概要”，这种认识是错误的，这样的“概要”是得不了分的。
考点：提纲式作文。
点评：好作文应该是紧扣文章主题，遵循特定的文体格式，选用恰当的语言合理组织文章结构，内容统一、连贯，语法、拼写、标点正确，用词恰当。为了避免太多单词拼写错误，语法错误，不要为了追求词语的华丽而堆积一些自己也没把握的单词，不要刻意追求长句而写一些自己不知对错的有多个从句组成的长句。考试时最好选择自己最有把握的词汇，短语，句式。
阅读下面的短文，然后从A-F选项中，为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。

A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
