【題目】Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?

As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life.

Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.

According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.

The ant—works first

Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.

The cricket—fun first

The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.

The snail—lives under pressure

The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.

【1】People with the character of the snail would like to __________.

A. enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the future

B. put work before everything else

C. live a luxury life at all costs

D. take the risk of investing a large sum of money

【2】Our beliefs and values are affected by the following except __________.

A. society B. our family

C. money D. education

【3】This passage mainly talks about __________.

A. the relation between man and insects

B. the spending nature of people

C. the insects in nature

D. the problems with dealing with money

【4】Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?

A. The cricket. B. The ant

C. The snail. D. None of the above.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】B

【4】B

【解析】

試題分析:這是一篇社會生活類短文。在我們成長的過程中，我們逐漸形成了一套自己的價值觀或者人生理念。你的價值觀會影響到你的花錢方式，在理財方面你屬哪一類呢？

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)不同的理財理念，專家把人們分為3大類：螞蟻型、蟋蟀型和蝸牛型。螞蟻型。根據(jù)最后一段“They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses”的意思可知：蝸牛型的人為了買豪華住房，他們寧愿選擇巨額的長期貸款，故選C。

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。作者在第二段中提到“These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on”，這些價值觀或信念是在社會、家庭和我們所受到的教育等因素的綜合作用下產(chǎn)生的，并沒有金錢的影響，故選C。

【3】B主旨大意題�？v觀全文，可知本文主要講敘的是人們的價值觀和理財觀念，故選B。

【4】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第一段“They should plan more carefully”和倒數(shù)第二段“They should learn to save and buy insurance”兩句可知，作者認(rèn)為蟋蟀型和蝸牛型的人“應(yīng)當(dāng)存點錢，買些保險”和“應(yīng)當(dāng)有一個縝密的計劃”，由此可推斷出作者更喜歡具有螞蟻型品質(zhì)的人，故選B。

Healthy habits for living longer

Many of us are set in our daily habits. We eat the same meal, wear the same clothes, take the same route to work and work the same old job. But what we sometimes fail to recognize is the huge influence that our daily habits can have on our health. It is very important for us to keep our daily habits healthy. 【1】

Have enough sleep. 【4】 Failing to get at least seven hours of sleep appears to increase the risk of major illnesses including cancer, heart disease, diabetes and many more.

On Friday, our teacher told us that there would an English corner in front of our teaching building. I set about soon after the last class in the afternoon.

To my joy, the English corner had just been on for a few minute. I joined them on their talk. At first, I was afraid that my English was so poor and limit that I couldn’t follow them or make myself understand. I was also afraid that anyone might laugh at me. But a smiling face here or an encouraging nod there soon put me at ease. Though I speak to them only in simple English that day, I believe in future I will make a greater progress.

【題目】I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(職業(yè)).

I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job. Looking after two little girls, it wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification (資格證書)if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

【1】What is the author’s present job?
