    Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life．He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think．One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week．From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life．
    He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture．You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends．But you’ll know him only when you ask to lend you some money．If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stranger than ever before．Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t．This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it．
    Since money is important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important．The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book．
    Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect．I’m nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich．
    People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In this book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society; to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end．Money plays an important role in the modern world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life．
    小题1:According to the first paragraph, people haven’t realized __________．
    A．how important money is in their day-to-day life
    B．how one spends money shows what is important to him
    C．that money is more important than their philosophy of life
    D．that their understanding of life is more important than money
    小题2:What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview is that         .
    A．he does not feel that he is well -educated
    B．he does not consider himself to be very successful
    C．he does not think that he is a very important person
    D．he does not think being rich deserves so much attention
    小题3:What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?
    A．Money is a means．B．Money is everything．
    C．Money is an end．D．Money is unimportant．
    小题4:Which of the following might the author disagree?
    A．Money is important in modern society．
    B．Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness．
    C．The meaning of life doesn’t completely lie in money．
    D．Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth．

    Here in the hills were buffaloes (野牛). I had even, in my very young days — when I could not live till I had killed one of each kind of African animal — shot a bull out there. Later on, when I was not so interested to shoot as to watch the wild animals, I had been out to see them again. But twice I had to go back without success.
    But one afternoon as I was having tea with some friends outside the house, Denys came flying from Nairobi and went over our heads westwards; a little while after he turned and came back and landed on the farm. I drove down to the plane to bring him back, but he would not get out of his plane.
    “The buffaloes are out feeding in the hills,” he said, “come out and have a look at them.”
    “I cannot come,” I said. “I have got a tea-party up at the house.”
    “But we will go and see them and be back in a quarter of an hour,” he said.
    This sounded to me like the suggestions which people make to you in a dream. So I went up with him. It did not take us long to see the buffaloes from the air; we counted them as they peacefully mixed and separated on the open ground closed in by bushes. There was one very old big black bull, and a number of young ones; if a stranger had come near to them they would have heard or smelt him at once, but they were not prepared for something from the air. They heard the noise of our machine and stopped feeding, but they did not seem to be able to look up. In the end they realized that something very strange was about; the old bull first walked out in front of the others. Suddenly he began to go down the valley side and after a moment he broke into a run. The whole group now followed him, rushing hurriedly down into the buses. In a small wood of low trees they stopped and kept close together. Here they believed themselves to be out of sight. We flew up and away. It was like having been taken there by a secret unknown route.
    When I came back to my tea-party the teapot on the stone was still so hot that I burned my fingers on it.
    小题1:The writer drove to the plane ________.
    A．to pick Denys up and take him back to the tea-party
    B．to have a talk with Denys
    C．to do some repairs for Denys
    D．because they wanted to go up in the plane
    小题2: Denys said it would only take a quarter of an hour to go and see the buffaloes ________.
    A．but it took much longer than that B．and he was right
    C．if they went by a secret routeD．but it wasn’t a serious suggestion
    小题3:When the buffaloes heard the noise of the plane, they ________.
    A．looked up at itB．ran away immediately
    C．continued feedingD．were uncertain what to do

    I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand．All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap．They did not make me happy, however, as tins was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time．I tried in vain lo convince him that I did nothing wrong all the way, but it didn’t help．
    When we．arrived at the sate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls．I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him．"Be a man, "he said．"today you truly begin your life．You will find me waiting for you when it’s time to leave．"
    I took a few steps．Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view．I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me．I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way．But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, " Who brought you? "
    "My father," I whispered．
    ’’My father’s dead, " he said simply．
    I did not know what to say．The gate was now closed．Some of the children burst into tears．The bell rang．A lady came along, followed by a group of men．The men began soiling us into ranks．We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings．
    Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis．From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls．I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences．
    We played all sorts, of games．In the music room we sang our first songs．We also had our first introduction to language．We saw a globe of Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries．We started lean-line numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe．We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning．
    Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded．We had to be observant and patient．It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around． Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting．And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold．Even more frequently
    she would resort to physical punishment．
    The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work．The children rushed toward the gate, which was opened again．I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate．I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there．I stepped aside to wait.

    My mother used to ask me what was the most important part of the body. Through the years I would   21  what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought   22  was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy”. She said, “No. Many people are   23 . But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”
    Several years passed   24  she asked me again. Since making my first   25 , I had often thought of the correct answer. So this time I told her， “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are   26  fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”
      27  the years, Mother asked me a couple more   28  and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting   29  every year, my child.” Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was crying when it was our   30  to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. Mom asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”
    I was   31  when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a   32  between her and me. She saw the   33  on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really   34  your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your   35 .” I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?” She replied, “No, it is   36  on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough   37  and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry   38  when you need it.” Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a   39  one. It is sympathetic to the pain of   40 .

    Walking over to the offender, I asked for the    21 ．Frozen, she refused to give it to me．I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet    22  between teacher and student．When she finally   23  it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it”.
    It was a hand-drawn    24   of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth．I managed to fold it up calmly．My mind,    25  , was working angrily as I struggled not to   26  .
    I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture．It would do them some   27  to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
    Thankfully, I was able to keep myself   28  .
    When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture．They were all silent as I told them how   29  this was for me．I told them there must be a reason    30   and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me．Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom．
    As I   31   the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you,” or “I’m sorry you were hurt．” Some kids said, “We’re   32  of you．” But two notes, from the girls who I   33 were behind the picture, had a list of issues．I was too   34 , too strict…
    Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of   35  my students, I had begun commanding them to   36 ．Where I thought I was driving them to success I was    37   driving them away．
    I had some apologizing to do．But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card．The one   38    by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke．The one from the girls asked for    39  .
    This was a lesson for both the kids and me．Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the    40  .
