9．Dear Amy，
My husband is a loving，creative and sensitive person who is 15years my senior．（I am in my mid-30s．）
Now I still struggle with my ups and downs，and he is still broke．I have continually asked my husband to get a job．I know he's trying，but even a part-time job at a convenience store would make ends meet．His former profession as a freelance（自由职业的） producer dropped off with the economy，and while he tries hard to find work in his field，he is extremely unwilling to accept the fact that he may need to get a"regular"job．
I love him very much，but I can't continue to keep my frustration（沮丧）bottled up．I tell myself I'm going to leave him if he doesn't find work，but I really want to stay together．How should I handle this？
Round the Bend
Dear Round，
Having been a freelancer for many years，I assure you （and him） that the true meaning of freelancing is that you have the freedom to accept a variety of jobs，as well as the responsibility to make a living between jobs．Freelancers teach，tend bar，sell things door to door and do anything it takes to bring home the money．Volunteering is also a wonderful way to keep busy and meet new people．
Amy
Dear Amy，
"Joan"was a 50-year-old reader who wants to spend her parents'gift （money） on a trip to India．Her retirement fund（退休金） is less than half of what she will need for retirement．It's also clear that she hasn't budgeted monthly for car repairs and other out-of-pocket expenses．In your answer，you encourage her to go．
She's 50and the clock is ticking!How will she feel about the trip she took when she turns 70when she can't afford to retire？Maybe there are other ways she can experience Indian food，culture，history and art without spending the entire sum of money．When her"health slows her down．"she may wish she had kept a rainy-day fund．

Dear Realistic，
Your argument is very logical and realistic，but there are also times when you have to go for it．I hope she does．
Amy

6．Do you know about a series of books that say they are"for dummies"？These American self-help books have been translated into more than thirty-nine languages including Chinese，Arabic，Russian，French，German，Greek and Spanish．
"Dummy"is a word for a stupid person．The dummies books are not really for stupid people．They are designed to show people how to do something they may never have tried before，like painting a house or learning a language．The books all say in a funny way that they are for dummies，such as World History for Dummies，Rabbits for Dummies，Chinese Cooking for Dummies，and Wedding Planning for Dummies．The first such book，DOS for Dummies，was published in 1991．It helped people learn how to use the DOS operating system for computers．Since then，more than one hundred fifty million dummies books have been sold．
The dummies．com website explains the idea behind the books．It says that they show that people can be taught to do anything．First they can make fun of ideas that are difficult to understand．Then they show how the information can be interesting and easy．The publishers say that the books do not provide more information than necessary．They give readers just enough information to do what they want．They say that the dummies books give the best and easiest way to do something．And the books use simple and easy language．
There are more than one thousand different dummies books．A report in New York Times says that the top-selling dummies books are those that explain technology and personal finance．
The publishers say that the best-selling dummies books are those providing information many people need-like information about diseases，education and cooking．People interested in opera，car repair and wine can also find dummies books to help them．And there are even more dummies books to come．The publishers say that they publish about two hundred new dummies books every year．

13．As a Senior One student，I do believe that diligence can make up for a lack of intelligence．
3．Communication is part of our everyday life．Humans are social beings and we need to（41）Dwith
other people．When we communicate，we can make use of both（42）Cand written language．But are They（43）A？The answer is No．Sometimes we have to communicate by using body movements
instead of （44）C．This is called body language．Body language is very important in our lives for Several（45）B Firstly，it makes our communication more colorful．It's really（46）Dto imagine a conversation without any body language（47）A How dull and boring it will be to just talk without any gestures，facial expressions（48）Dany other body movements！Body language makes our talking more（49）Band interesting．
Secondly，it makes our communication more（50）C．Sometimes a gesture or a facial expression
can make us more easily and quickly understood．（51）Ba good speaker for example：his or her
body movements will help him or her leave a deeper and stronger impression on（52）C
Finally，sometimes we（53）Ato use body language．On some occasions，we are not allowed to
Speak（54）C．Examples of this are in the library or in the （55）Dclassroom．Then body language will Be（56）Bnecessary．Also，when we meet someone in the street，there is no need for us to（57）Bfor a chat，so a nod or wave of hand may be OK．
Your body language sends a strong message to others，so be aware that（58）Dyou have your
arms folded across your chest while you talk，you are（59）Cothers out，for example．If you land an interview，（60）Dyour body language，ask good questions，and convey confidence and enthusiasm．
Your body language indicates your level of self-esteem．So understanding body language is a crucial （决定性的） part of meeting someone new and can not be overlooked．

10．Would it surprise you to learn that，like animals，trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation？
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined．Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was．In fact，the opposite is true：trees survive through their co-operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition"depending on who needs it"．
Nitrogen（氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy．This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all．
Simard talks about"mother trees"，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend．She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow．When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest．
"We didn't take any notice of it．"Simard says sadly．"Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying，but we never give them a chance．"If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future．
25．What would be the best title for the passage？C
A．Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B．Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection
C．Trees Are More Complex Than You Think
D．Trees Contribute To Our Society
26．In Simard's opinion，treesA．
A．depend on each other        
B．protect their own wealth

27．We can learn from the passage thatD

B．Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard．
C．people know much about the complex"tree societies"．

14．I grew up poor-living with six brothers，my father and a wonderful mother．We had （36）Cmoney and few worldly goods，but plenty of love and attention．I was（37）Band energetic．I understood that no matter how poor a person was，he could （38）D afford a dream．
My dream was to be a（39）A．When I was sixteen，I could crush a baseball，throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball．I was also（40）D：my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who（41）Dme the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief．One particular（42）Awith him changed my life forever．
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer（43）B．This meant a chance for my first income-cash for a new bike and new clothes，and the（44）Aof savings for a house for my mother．The opportunity was attracting，and I wanted to （45）Cat it．
Then I realized I would have to（46）Csummer baseball to handle the work schedule，and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing．I was（47）Babout this．
When I told Coach Jarvis，he was as（48）Bas I expected him to be．"You have your whole life to work，"he said．"Your（49）Adays are limited．You can't afford to waste them．"
I stood before him with my head（50）D，trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth（51）B his disappointment in me．
"How much are you going to make at this job？"he demanded．
"3.25 an hour，"I replied．
"Well，is 3.25 an hour the price of a（52）C？"he asked．
That（53）Claid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal．I devoted myself to（54）Athat summer，and within the year I was offered a 20，000contract．IsignedwiththeDenverBroncosin1984for 1.7 million，and bought my mother the（55）Dof my dreams．

15．Wealth is what you accumulate（累积），not what you spend．If you make 1millionayearandspend1 million，you're not getting wealthier，you're just living high．
  The most successful accumulators of wealth spend less than they can afford on houses，cars，vacations and entertainment．Why？Because these things offer little or no return．The
wealthy would rather put their money into investments（投资） or their businesses．It's an attitude．
    Millionaires understand that when you buy an expensive house，you buy an expensive life-style too．Your property taxes（财产税），insurance，and the prices of nearby services tend to be higher．
The rich man's attitude can also be seen in his car．Many drive old cars．Sam Walton，billionaire founder of the Wal-Mart Store，Inc，drove a pickup truck．
Most millionaires measure success by net worth（净值），not income．Instead of taking their money home，they put as much as they can into their businesses．Why？Because the government doesn't tax wealth； it taxes income you bring home for consumption（消费）．
The person who piles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments，not consumption．
The best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice．
The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money．They may wish to retire early，or they may want to leave something to their children．The goals vary，but two things are consistent：they have a goal in min d--the amount they want to save by age50，perhaps--and they work unceasingly（不断地）toward that goal．
One thing may surprise you．If you make wealth---not just income--your goal，the expensive house you've been dreaming about won't seem so attractive．You'll have the attitude．
27．In the author's opinion，those who spend money on expensive houses and carsB．
A．will not be taxed by the government
B．live high and have little saved
C．Have accumulated wealth in another sense．
D．can show that they are among rich
28．The rich put their money into business becauseB．
A．they are not interested in luxury houses and cars
B．they can get much in return to build their wealth
C．their goal is to develop their company
D．that is the only way to spend money yet not to be taxed by the government
29．The US government doesn't tax what you spend money onD．
A．cars      B．houses        C．boats        D．Stock（股票）
30．To become wealthy，one shouldA．
A．work hard unceasingly
B．seek as much income as he can
C．stick to the way he lives
D．save up his earnings．
