In modern society, more and more people have great pressure in their work. They have to work day and night. Some of them suffer from too much work. And some are even killed by overwork.
Which is more important, health or wealth? Some people think that wealth is more important than health. In their opinion, money is everything. “I would rather be the slave of money than the slave of people.” This is what they appreciate most. In order to earn more money, some of them spend most of the time working, running the rest of their life for wealth.
As a matter of fact, health is more important than wealth because health is the foundation of wealth. Without health, you can hardly imagine where the wealth comes from. Even if you are wealthy, how can you enjoy your wealth when you gave lost your health? In other words, wealth is based on health and wealth serves health. However, we cannot ignore wealth. Without money, we can do nothing.

Health or Wealth?
The passage mainly tells us about the relationship between people’s health and wealth and discusses which is more important and how to deal with them correctly. (27 w)
Nowadays, quite a lot of people think money is everything, so they work day and night, trying to gain, at the cost of their health, as much money as possible.
But what is the use of wealth without health?
In my opinion, we should pay more attention to our health because it’s the base of our lives. So important is it that we should not ignore it at all. If we’re in poor health, how can we work hard for wealth and enjoy wealth?
To be healthy, we mean to be both physically and mentally healthy, the latter of which, I believe, is more valuable. In short, life will never come back once we lose it. Therefore, we should try to protect and respect it with our action: try to be healthy. (132 w)

名校课堂系列答案阅读下面的短文，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.
