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, its 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 the part of our value system and it has a great effect 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 -work firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people dont 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（蟋蟀）-fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesnt 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(存款). When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail (蜗牛)-living under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans（贷款） 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 if they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.1. The ant refers to people who _.A. Work very hard in winter in order to store food for summer.B.

The snails will take more loans if they realize that they can afford it.D. The snails take big long-term loans because the interest for the long-term loans is low.4. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To make fun of the three kinds of foolish people.B. To make us understand the differences and manage our money better.C. To make us understand we should spend our own money.D. To state that we are the same as animals.【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. B【解析】这是一篇社会生活类短文。在我们成长的过程中，我们逐渐形成了一套自己的价值观或者人生理念。你的价值观会影响到你的花钱方式，在理财方面你属哪一类呢？1. 根据Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people dont 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. 蚂蚁指的是节省他们挣的钱，用于以后的生活的人。2. 根据The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesnt think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. 可知像蟋蟀的那一类人借钱，是因为他们更愿意享受当下生活。3. 根据They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure if they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully. 可知蜗牛生活在压力之下，未来他们可能会有很多问题。4. 根据But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money? 可知作者写这篇文章的目的是让人们明白不同的价值观所造成的花钱方式不同并且如何更好的理财。BA farmer had a cow.

The pills should make her better.”“How should I give them to her?” the farmer asked.The vet gave him a tube (管子)and said, “Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow.

The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked more worried.“Hows your cow?” the vet asked.“No change,” the farmer said, “and Im feeling very strange myself.”“Oh?” the vet said, “Why?”“I did what you said,” the farmer answered. “I put the tube in the cows mouth and then put two pills down it.”“And?” the vet asked.“The cow blew first,” the farmer said.5.

That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this beautiful future.Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go . Death had never touched me so closely.After a long period of emptiness (空虚), it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.Enjoying lifes precious quirks ( 偶发事件 ) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isnt content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.8. The reason why the author changed his idea of success is that _ .A. he cant afford his houseB. his beloved teacher was deadC. he didnt know what to do or where to goD. he lost a few beloved persons in a short time9. According to the author which of the following is the real success for a person?A. Being famous. B. Truly living life each day.C. Good car and big house. D. Material achievements.10. What does the author want to tell the readers?A. The true meaning of the life. B. The true meaning of studying.C. How to achieve success. D. His opinion about success.11. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The writer thinks that success is not promised.B. His teacher died before the death of his grandpa.C. The writer didnt do well in all the exams.D. He didnt want to take all the exams.【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A【解析】这篇文章主要讲了作者小时候，他认为成功就是拥有好车和大的房子，后来作者在短期内失去了好几位亲人，使得他对成功的看法发生了改变，现在在作者看来真实的过好每一天就是一个人真正的成功。8. 根据Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go . Death had never touched me so closely.可知作者改变了他对于成功的看法是因为他在短期内失去了好几位心爱的人。9. 根据For me, being successful means truly living life each day. 可只在作者看来真实地过好每一天就是一个人真正的成功。10. 这篇文章主要讲了作者小时候，他认为成功就是拥有好车和大的房子，后来作者在短期内失去了好几位亲人，使得他对成功的看法发生了改变，现在在作者看来真实的过好每一天就是一个人真正的成功，所以这篇文章的作者想要告诉读者自己关于成功的看法。11. 根据After a long period of emptiness (空虚), it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. 可知作者认为成功是不可预测的。DFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to read people from another culture as we would read someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of reading the other person incorrectly.12. What does the smile usually mean in America?A. Love. B. Politeness.C. Joy. D. Thankfulness.13. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _ .A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits14. What should we do before attempting(尝试) to read people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.15. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了面部表情取决于情景和人们之间的关系。文章通篇阐述了面部表情的种种表现形式，以及文化之间的差异导致的面部表情的含义不同。12. C 细节理解题：根据文章第一段中的“in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure”可知，在美国文化中，一般地说，微笑是快乐的表情。此处joy是pleasure的同义词。故选C。13. B 细节理解题：根据文章第一段中的“It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.”可知这是一个中心句，其后用例证法阐述：微笑能隐藏真正的感情。它常常导致跨文化间的困惑。其中越南人讲故事的例子就是为了说明这一观点。故选B。14. B推理判断题：根据文章最后一段中的“The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.”可知，我们在“读”人们的表情的时候，要现理解他们的文化背景，否则，就会出错，故选B。15. C标题判断题：文章通篇阐述了面部表情的种种表现形式，以及文化之间的差异导致的面部表情的含义不同，面部表情是文章的主旨，故选C。【名师点睛】主旨大意题主要考查学生对所读材料(或所读材料片断)中心思想的概括。做这类题时，考生应通读全文，把握文章大意或中心思想，同时注意文章的主题句，因为主题句表达中心思想，其他句子均围绕主题句进行展开。主题句通常位于文章第一段首句、第一段末句或全文末句等地方，但位于段落中间(通常是第一段或最后一段的中间)也是完全可能的。同时，主题词关键词也是非常重要的，有时候可以直接看出答案。主旨大意题的考查形式很多，如概括标题、主题、段意、中心思想等。考点：考查文化类阅读第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Howtofindyourownsuitableinterests?_16_ And it is also a great way to improve your health.
