In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.

1.According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right?

A. Money is everything. B. Money isn’t necessary.

C. Money is important, but not the most important. D. With no money, with no success.

2.What’s the most important thing for every person according to the writer’s ideas?

A. Only money. B. Health and a long life C. Only friendship. D. A, B and C

3.Which sentence of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. If you haven’t much money, you can’t get more happiness.

B. You may live a long life even if you are poor.

C. Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.

D. If you are rich, you will have less friendship.

4.In fact, all millionaires ____________.

A. have much money B. die earlier C. love their money D. have true love

5.What does the sentence “Love means to give, not to take.” mean in the passage?

A. 爱意味着给你，而不能带走。 B. 爱是可以得到的，不要走开。

C. 爱意味着奉献，而不是索取。 D. 爱是可以索取的，而不必付出。

3.For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else.

How to get through exams? Here are some advice:

Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills—how to work when you are in an exam.

Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.

Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.

Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.

You need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sport—whatever you enjoy.

Stop thinking about the future and failing.

If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! 4、Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.

If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written!

To this advice, we could add:

If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be “going round and round”—thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.
