Phil White has just returned from an 18,000?mile, around?the?world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised ￡70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.

White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.

The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.

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 into 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 a mazed.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 struggled 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 school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，and most workers “live_within_their_means”．They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn.

When I ask the class I teach，“How many of you can cook a better hamhurger 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 reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at making a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

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 success of McDonald’s lies in its________.

A．skills at making hamburgers

B．good business systems

C．talented workers

D．excellent service

5.The main purpose of the author is to tell us________.

A．how young people can find a satisfactory job

B．what schools should teach students

C．why so many talented people are poor

D．how McDonald’s makes much money

Dear Mr. Green,

I am very exciting to learn that you will start a magazine. That sounds great and I definitely agree you on that.

Some of the columns that you mention in the letter are really my cup of tea. “Cultural Express” give us a better understanding of the world. Since people from different part of the world have different values, it’s necessary to learn from each another. Apart from that, “Blurt Out” is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idioms and improving oral English. “Entertainment” is also cool! The popular singers, actors or celebrities are so attractively that you absolutely can’t miss this part. Teenagers are to fond of popular things, too.

Well, I can’t list more, I really can’t wait to read this magazine.

Yours,

Li Ming
