In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Money does have its most useful effect on the poor. But once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn`t mean more happiness.
If money were everything, all millionaires(百萬(wàn)富翁) would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true .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 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 dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.

【小題1】C
【小題2】B
【小題3】B
【小題4】B
【小題5】C

解析試題分析：這篇短文告訴我們錢(qián)并不是萬(wàn)能的，用錢(qián)并不能買(mǎi)來(lái)愛(ài)、健康長(zhǎng)壽和友誼。如果你沒(méi)有一個(gè)可以一起哭，一起笑的人，你仍然是不幸福的。
【小題1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段If money were everything, all millionaires(百萬(wàn)富翁) would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true .如果錢(qián)就是一切，那么所有的百萬(wàn)富翁都會(huì)擁有真愛(ài)、友誼、健康和長(zhǎng)壽。然而這并不總是對(duì)的。由此可判斷A不對(duì)；根據(jù)第一段Money does have its most useful effect on the poor錢(qián)在貧窮的時(shí)候的確有它最重要的影響，由此可知錢(qián)并不是沒(méi)有必要，故B不對(duì)；D沒(méi)有錢(qián)就沒(méi)有成功，不符合文章的意思；C 錢(qián)是重要的，但并不是最重要的，這個(gè)選項(xiàng)是符合文意的，故選C。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段To every person , health and long life are probably the most precious things 對(duì)于每個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)，健康和長(zhǎng)壽也許是最寶貴的東西。由此我們可以知道作者覺(jué)得健康和長(zhǎng)壽是最寶貴的。故選B。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires 在世界上最長(zhǎng)壽的人中，很少人是百萬(wàn)富翁。由此我們可以知道即使你很窮你也可以長(zhǎng)壽。故選B。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires在世界上最長(zhǎng)壽的人中，很少人是百萬(wàn)富翁。故選B。
【小題5】句意理解題。Love means to give, not to take. 愛(ài)意味著付出，而不是索取。故C項(xiàng)最接近這句話(huà)的意思，故選C。
考點(diǎn)：人生百味類(lèi)短文閱讀。

A small ,white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.
It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh, not the true meaning of Christmas.Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma…,spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.
Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.
Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling （摔跤）at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored (贊助) by an inner-city church.These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.
As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (頭盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.
Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潛力) , but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kids—all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. That’s when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.
On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.
【小題1】Justin hated Christmas because _____.

A．he didn’t enjoy receiving gifts

A．were well dressed B．paid no attention to safety
C．feared Kevin’s team D．couldn’t afford a helmet
【小題3】How did Justin feel about the team’s failure ?
A．Upset B．Angry C．Hopeless D．Shameful
【小題4】Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name ?
A．To avoid being thanked B．To play a joke on Justin
C．To give Justin a surprise D．To protect her private information
