-How long has this bookshop been in business? - 1982. A. After B. In C. Form——青夏教育精英家教网—

A week ago, I had the great pleasure of reading an e-book, When Money Talks, Listen! By Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read.

When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication. Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.

When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry far more important than money.

Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review? Simple. I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install(安装) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yielded(让路) them as a few ones arrived in town. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is.

It has been a week and the effect is the same. I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week. This is an e-book you’ll want to read, I promise. I often recommend books to my daughter, and this is one that I didn’t just “suggest”---I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, “Read it, you’ll love it.”

I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn’t go myself. I urge you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it.

The author wrote this passage to _________　

A. strongly recommend an e-book.

　B. show the author's attitude to money.

　C. introduce the general idea of an e-book.

　D. point out Rich Ezzo isn't money hungry.

According to the passage, a Get Rich Quick type of publication ______.

A. is what the author really cares for

B. deals with how to make money

C. is also an e-book written by Rich Ezzo

D. is more popular than e-books

The author didn't write the review as soon as he finished reading the book because________.

　A. he was too excited to write anything

　B. he was not sure whether he did well

　C. he had to wait for Rich Ezzo's permission

　D. he wondered if the book would have long influence on him

　A. shows that the book brought him many new thoughts

　B. shows how bad the traffic is in town

　C. describes the difficulty in understanding the book

　D. explains it's hard to change one's attitude to money

　B. The author hasn't dreamed of getting rich immediately.

　C. The author always prefers e-books to paper books.

　　When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger．But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health．Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite(胃口)and better sleep patterns．“People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,”says Dr Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good“So it can help save on the wear and tear on, our system and allow people to feel more energetic”

　　So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first．Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love Don’t wait for an apology“Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing”says Dr Luskin“They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way．So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time．”Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you．Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain．Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you．Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角)．You may realize that he or she－was acting out of ignorance(无知)，fear－even love．To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view．

Four Steps to Better Learning

　　Sheela and Nisha had almost the same level of intelligence and came from similar family backgrounds．Sheela found it hard to memorise a poem for an oral test while Nisha did it without any difficulty．　　1　　 Why was there a difference?

　　The answer is ： Nisha just knew how to learn better than Sheela did．　　2　　 Here are four steps to better learning．

　　Preview the matter first．Scan or skim over a material quickly．Read the first sentence of each paragraph, glance at the table of contents and the preface．

　　　　3　　 Speed reading is fine for the easy material．But for more complex works, slower reading is much more effective．Good learners actively think about what they read and assimilate(吸收)it．

　　Be focused．To improve concentration and focus, fix a particular time and place for studying．Use a variety of methods, like writing down what you’ve read, taping it and then listening to it, making an outline or even drawing a diagram．　　4　　 It will improve your learning capacity(能力)．

　　　　5　　 Each person has his own way of learning．If given the pieces of an object to assemble(聚集), each of us uses a different method to arrive at the same result．Analyse your approach and follow the method that you feel most comfortable with．

A．Follow your own learnign style．

B．Slow down and read it aloud to yourself．

C．Take a break if you become too tense or tired．

D．Turn to your heroes or tutors for advice and follow their advice．

E．She increased the capacity of her brain by applying some skills．

F．She only scanned a new poem twice before reciting it from memory!
