6.Recently,a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life.He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think.One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week.From the way they spend their money,they can see what they really value in life.
He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture.You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends.But you'll know him only when you ask him to lend you some money.If he does,it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before.Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't.
Since money is important to us,we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important.The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Answer:The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect.I'm nothing.I don't know much.All I am is rich.
People just have an idea of making more and more money,but what is it for?How much do I need for any given purposes in my life?In this book,the professor uncovered an important need in modern society; to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end.Money plays an important role in the modern world,but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

解答 28.A 推理判斷題.從第一段的句子:One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week.From the way they spend their money,they can see what they really value in life.從學(xué)生花錢的方式,他們看出生活中什么是重要的.這是他讓學(xué)生做的練習(xí),所以人們原來不知道這點,
29.D:推理判斷題.結(jié)合文章The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect.I am nothing.I do not know much.最令人驚訝的是,為什么人們對我如此尊敬,我什么都不是.可以推斷出他不認為富有值得關(guān)注,所以答案選D.
30.D 推理判斷題.從文章最后一段"…money is an instrument rather than the end"可知金錢只是一個工具,不是我們生活的最終目的.所以B項說金錢只是一種方式、手段正確.
31. A 作者態(tài)度題.結(jié)合Money plays an important role in the material world,but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life金錢在物質(zhì)世界中扮演著重要的角色,但期望金錢給人幸?赡苁侨鄙偕囊饬x.可知A與作者觀點不一致.
