One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. “We’ve had to make a difficult decision,” Mr. Tisich announced. “You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television station in Chicago. Unfortunately, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.” Marc looked shocked, while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving. “It’s surprising, but exciting!” she said. Marc simply said, “We can’t go—I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!”

The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more used to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings. When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy Lyon’s house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn’t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.

What they didn’t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Lyons’s attic(阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons(纸板箱)the right size to hold his record collection.

1.The conflict(冲突) in this story was caused by_________.

A. Marc and Rachel’s different attitudes

B. a quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc

C. Marc’s disagreement with his parents about their move

2.Marc and Rachel’s reactions to the move were similar in the way that both were________.

A. surprised                     B. angry and upset

C. anxious for more details         D. worried about pacing

3.The reason for Marc’s going home was that_________.

A. he did not want to be left behind

B. he realized his family was important to him

C. he hoped to reach an agreement with his parents

D. he wished to be a more responsible person

4.What would most likely happen next?

A. Marc would bring his records over to the Lyons’s house.

B. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would call the police.

C. Marc would join his family for house moving.

D. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would start searching for Marc.

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people.We meet them every day A few days ago, my car was not running well.I pulled it in to a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.

 I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in1 the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”

There is an old saying that goes, "Job means 'just over broke(破产)’".And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means".They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.

When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

1.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that      

A.he is just one of the talented people

B.he is ready to help others

C.he has a sharp sense of hearing

D.he knows little about car repairing

2.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by____   

A.spend more than they can afford

B.do in their own way

C.1ive in their own circle

D.1ive within what they earn

3.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?

A.They don’t work hard enough

B.They lack financial intelligence.

C.They don't make full use of their talents

D.They have no specialized skills.

4.The main purpose of the author is to tell us____      

A.how young people can find a satisfactory job

B.What schools should teach about finance

C.why so many talented people are poor

D.how McDonald's makes much money
