【题目】Investing in yourself

Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.

1 Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.

You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. 2. There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.

So what are some specific things you can do? 3. Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I’m talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.

You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 4. Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.

Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn’t 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little wheninflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration.5. But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

A.This is just one way.

B.The benefits will stay with you.

C.If you aren’t a reader, you should start with that.

D.The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.

E.Of course, you need to do some research before investing.

F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.

G.When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.

【题目】Richard Williams works hard. He’s clever, careful, and fast. His work is dangerous. Richard thinks of himself as a professional—a professional thief.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It's the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search exposes plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age, there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart's music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.
The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked(激发) real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we'll become more intelligent.
The_idea_took_off,_with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart's music on purpose. Even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them produce better milk.
I'll leave the debate on the effect on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are shortlived and it doesn't make us more intelligent.
(1)What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A.Mozart composed many musical pieces for children.
B.Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent.
C.There are few products on the Internet about Mozart's music.

D.There is little scientific evidence to support the Mozart effect.
(2)The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that ________.
A.people were strongly against the idea
B.the idea was accepted by many people
C.Mozart played an important part in people's life

D.the US government helped promote the idea
(3)What is the author's attitude towards the Mozart effect?
A.Favourable.
B.Objective.
C.Doubtful.
D.Positive.
(4)What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Listening to Mozart, necessary?
B.What music is beneficial?
C.What is the Mozart effect?
D.To be or not to be?
