Do you wake up in the morning dreading the moment that your feet have to hit the floor for you to get
ready for work? If that's the case, join most of Americans. Very few people wake up to that an noying alarm
clock and spring out of bed excited about having to go to work.
As if that were not enough, most of us have to fight traffic get- ting there, usually an hour's drive. Then,
when we get to work, we have to fight with unruly co-workers or a nagging boss. And to make matters worse, you have to fight the same traffic going in the oppo site direction just to get back home.
Making dinner, fixing plates, eating and then straightening up afterwards is a job within itself. If that sounds
like your life, you probably have a J-O-B. You know what J-O-B stands for? Just Over Broke, that's what!
With a job, most Americans are living pay- check-to-paycheck and hating every minute of it. I know because
I was doing the same thing: trading time for money. And, I came to a conclusion that it stinks (糟糕透了)! Big
time!
Looking around at my co-workers, friends and relatives, I saw that they were all doing the same thing I
was doing. They were com plaining about the same things I was complaining about: not having enough time
or money. And, I decided that I wanted to do something different.
So, I started a home-based business. There are several to choose from. The extra income has done so
much for our family. We can vacation more. We have been able to give more. And, we've e ven been able to
do something calling save! It's been amazing.
Therefore, if you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, it's time you make a change, too. The definition
of insanity (疯狂) is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I know you aren't
stupid. If you continue to do what everyone else is doing: trading time for money, you're going to keep getting
what eve ryone else is getting: being broke and not having the time to do what is really important to you.
Do your due diligence? Find a home-based business that works well for you. Go to work, and live the life
you've always imag ined!

查看习题详情和答案>>The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before: changes for the better,
changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger. Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.
Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe; it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology m the application of science m has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings: in pure science -- a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science -- a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.
Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons, Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.
William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn (纱线), good and ill together.” The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities----- science seems to prove what Shakespeare said. But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?
Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that________.
A. a great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war
B. a large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war
C. the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weapons
D. the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth
The underlined word "mingled" in the last paragraph most probably means________.
A. simple B. mixed C. sad D. happy
What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?
A. Further application of science to war.
B. More reading of William Shakespeare.
C. Proper use of science in the new century.
D. Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.
