    One day in my class，Maria shared her feelings about money，“Money worries me.I think I want to live without money because I hate it.I HATE MONEY.”We were all touched by Maria's words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us.After class I offered to help Maria deal with her financial problems.She hesitated to accept my offer，and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve.I quickly promised her that I wouldn't make her do more than she was able to.I told her frankly that I didn't enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldn't burden her with guilt，judgments，or impossible tasks.All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.
    Maria still resisted my offer，and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people.“I'll never understand money，”she said.“My facts are meaningless.”“I don't deserve to have money.”“I never have enough.”“I have too little to manage.”“My financial position isn't worth looking at.”and the most devastating one of all，“I just can't do it.”
    Going home that day，I couldn't get Maria out of my mind：her attitude conveyed the same negativity and  fear that I believed annoyed many people.I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively.My counseling(咨询)has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self­doubts and fear for survival.Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we don't believe we can do it well，and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk.
    On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life，but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were.It locks us up in self­doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power，our spirit.
    【小题1】The underlined word“devastating”in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

    A．convincingB．interestingC．shockingD．valuable
    【小题2】Maria's words moved the author and others because they were ________.
    A．in the same financial troubleB．in the same financial condition
    C．of the same family backgroundD．of the same feeling over the issue
    【小题3】As for money managing，the author intended to tell Maria how to ________.
    A．overcome her fearsB．make wise decisions
    C．avoid making mistakesD．learn the necessary skills
    【小题4】Maria wouldn't take the author's offer of help for fear of________.
    A．being forced to share her money with others
    B．having to do something beyond her reach
    C．being found guilty of making impossible errors
    D．showing her judgment about money
    【小题5】According to the author，people's anxieties about managing money result from their understanding of money as the only source of ________.
    A．lifeB．valuesC．spiritD．power

    【小题1】C【小题1】D【小题1】A【小题1】B【小题1】A
