The world is filled with smart,educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago,my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic fixed it in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound. 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 in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant(顾问)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 that young people 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. live in their own circle

D. live 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

Last summer, as part of my high school graduation project, I volunteered at Saunders House nursing home. I choose this experience because it was something that I had never done before and I wanted to lend a helping hand. At first it was challenging because I was extremely shy. My goal in volunteering was to bring a smile to the residents (住客) by doing different activities from word games to playing chess. I feel as if I had finished that goal.

At the nursing home, I did a lot of different activities with the residents ranging from Jeopardy to Wheel of Fortune. One of my favorites was a word game where I would write a ten -letter word on the board and the residents would try to come up with as many smaller words as possible. I could tell that it was one of their favorite games because they always seemed to be so enthusiastic (热心的) when they played. I also transported residents to and from their rooms when they needed help; and whenever it was a nice day out, I would take them outside to get some fresh air and relax. On Saturday mornings, I would deliver the newspaper to the residents and on Sundays, I helped with morning church services.

The most unforgettable part of this experience was when I had one-on-one conversations with the residents. It was incredible (难以置信的) how many great stories they had to tell. Their stories were so interesting and the experience was unforgettable for span>me.
