What’s the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions(提到) hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck.

If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的順序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck : 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈禱)? They can’t , either.

Then what else? Don’t be worried.You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(態(tài)度).Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100,a full mark.

Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude.

When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you. In the same way, if you take a positive (積極地) attitude towards failure(失敗),you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses.

1.What is the mark of the word “money”?

A. 54            B. 72             C. 96      D. 100

2.In the writer’s opinion, what is the most important thing in a person’s life?

A. Hard-work.     B. Knowledge.     C. Money.     D. Attitude.

3.According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to _______.

A. ask for help from others       B. say your prayers to God

C. change your attitude          D. try maths-solving methods (方法)

4.From the passage we can learn that ______.

A. different attitudes come from different courses of life

B. mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life

C. failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude

D. none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or more

“Who needs a shopping mall (購物中心) if you have Taobao?” says Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing.

Taobao, China’s largest online shopping site (網(wǎng)上購物網(wǎng)站), has become an important part of Wang Lin’s life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.

A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the joys of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop on line than men. Clothing and home-use products are the most popular on line.

It was reported that more than 250 billion(十億)yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao.

Taobao means “l(fā)ooking for treasure” in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players.

You may question the security of online shopping, Wang Lin said, “It’s very safe and convenient. Unless you receive the products from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you want to return the products.”
