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.

試題分析：這篇短文告訴我們錢并不是萬能的，用錢并不能買來愛、健康長(zhǎng)壽和友誼。如果你沒有一個(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(百萬富翁) would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true .如果錢就是一切，那么所有的百萬富翁都會(huì)擁有真愛、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錢在貧窮的時(shí)候的確有它最重要的影響，由此可知錢并不是沒有必要，故B不對(duì)；D沒有錢就沒有成功，不符合文章的意思；C 錢是重要的，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)人來說，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，很少人是百萬富翁。故選B。
小題5:句意理解題。Love means to give, not to take. 愛意味著付出，而不是索取。故C項(xiàng)最接近這句話的意思，故選C。

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let your anger go off. But forgiveness（原諒）is possible – and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “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 damage to our system and allow people to feel more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, cool down 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（道歉）. “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 say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”
Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who worries 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（看法）. You may realize that he or she was acting out of knowledge, fear – even love. To get perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.
小題1:What’s the name of Dr. Frederic Luskin’s book?
小題2:According to the writer, what should you do first after being hurt?
小題3:Why does Dr. Luskin advise us not to wait for an apology after being hurt?
小題4:What’s the writer’s idea to get perspective?
小題5:What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the passage?

I bought a jasmine（茉莉花）plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom（開花）and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.
One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something.
Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.
In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.
Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.

On February 9th, 2013, Sarah Darling was walking along the street when she met a homeless man named Billy Ray Harris. She reached into her change purse, emptied out all the coins she had and gave them to the homeless man. Neither of them realized that this small generous act would change their lives.
Sarah didn’t realize that she had given Billy not only all her change but also her diamond ring that she had put in her change purse earlier until the following morning. She and her husband, Bill Krejci, rushed to see if they could find Billy. The homeless man was not only in the same place, he also immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets of all the money they had.
Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this amazingly honest man. So on February 18th, he set up a special page to raise money for him. In just four days, Billy received over $85,000 and there seems to be no end yet.
That is not enough. Billy is living with a person who is generous instead of living in the streets. And that’s not all—Thanks to the news report, he got together again with his older brother, Edwin Harris who he had been unable to find for 27 years.
All the good luck is just because Billy did the right thing—returning something that did not belong to him.
小題1:When did Sarah realize that she had also given Billy her diamond ring?
A．On February 9th, 2013B．On February 10th, 2013
C．On February 18th, 2013D．On February 22nd 2013
小題2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Billy is living with a generous person.
B．Billy has found his brother.
C．Billy bought a diamond ring.
D．Billy appeared in the news report
小題3:The underlined word “That” in Paragraph 4 refers to(指代) “________”.
A．returning the ringB．setting up a page
C．living in the streetsD．receiving money
小題4:What’s the best title of the passage ?
A．Generous Woman Changed Her Own Life
B．Kind Man Set Up Special Page
C．Homeless Man Returned Diamond Ring
D．Many People Donated Much Money
