Buckminster Fuller once said, “The minute you choose to do what you really want to do, it’s a different kind of life.” If you want to live abundantly, decide what you really want and figure out a way to do it. Be clear and live with intent.

You may have heard of Fred Lebow. He complained to his doctor that he lacked energy. His doctor advised him to take up running. He fell in love with it! He was 39 years old when he entered his first race.

Fred joined the New York Road Runners Club and organized New York City’s first marathon race. But what Fred truly wanted to do was to bring people together. He believes that anybody should be able to run — people of all ages and of any country.

Not everyone in New York was excited about people running through their neighborhood. A youth gang warned him that nobody had better run through their turf. “That’s great,” Fred said. “I need someone to protect the runners in your area, and you look like just the fellows to do it.” He gave them each a hat, shirt and jacket and that year, when the marathon went through their neighborhood, these young men proudly guarded the runners along their way.

Fred decided what was truly important to him and he found a way to do it. He lived with intent. That single decision made his life remarkably different.

As one sports writer said, “Fate handed him a short race. With his goal, with his love of life, Fred turned it into a marathon.”

Fred would say that it’s not about how long you live, but how you run the race of life.

The purpose that Fred Lebow organized New York City’s first marathon race was _____.

A. to be popular with people

B. to display his true love for sports development

C. to drive away his loneliness in the running

D. to get more people together

Dear son,

The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.

If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   31   teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   32  the same things thousand and one times, do not   33   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   34   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   35  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   36  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   37   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   38   to do so many things: to eat food, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   39  of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   40   to me.

If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   41   I need to and when not. When my   42   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   43  , the same way I did when you gave your first   44  . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   45   any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get ___46__. Someday you will understand.

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the   47   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me   48   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   49   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and  50  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.

I love you, Son

When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a high tech job — but he couldn’t balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip,” says the 45-year-old father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement.”

One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it: Thousands of us avoid investing because we just don’t get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didn’t understand this stuff,” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (能手) I knew to explain things to me.”

He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars,cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they went for an expensive vacation. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.

Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say, ‘I need to refinance my house — what should I do? ‘A lot of times, I wouldn’t know the answer, but I’d go to find it and learn something in the process,” he says.

In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars for employees of corporations like Wal Mart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and it’s paid off: He now owns $ 30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.

“I was an engineer who never thought this life was possible, but all it truly takes is a little self education,” says Steve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics.”

1.The underlined part “live below their means” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “______”.

A.take effective measures                  B.live a miserable life

C.spend more money than they had           D.spend less money than they had

2.Since Steve Maxwell became a millionaire, he ______.

A.has been unwilling to help others

B.hasn’t stopped learning from practice

C.has been willing to follow others’ advice

D.has stopped to invest in houses

3.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.A self made engineer

B.How to balance your checkbook

C.Don’t avoid investing

D.Educate yourself to become a millionaire

4.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A.self education is very important to one’s life

B.everyone should learn how to invest in their life

C.Steve Maxwell was quite interested in finance classes in college

D.Steve became rich because he saved every penny he had earned
