A

A week ago, I had the great pleasure of reading an e-book, When Money Talks, Listen! By Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read.

   When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication. Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.

   When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry far more important than money.

Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review? Simple. I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install(安裝) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yielded(讓路) them as a few ones arrived in town. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is

   It has been a week and the effect is the same. I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week. This is an e-book you’ll want to read, I promise. I often recommend books to my daughter, and this is one that I didn’t just “suggest”---I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, “Read it, you’ll love it.”

   I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn’t go myself. I urge you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it.

41. According to the passage, a Get Rich Quick type of publication ______.

A. is what the author really cares for

B. deals with how to make money

C. is also an e-book written by Rich Ezzo

D. is more popular than e-books
42.The author didn't write the review as soon as he finished reading the book   

because________.
 A. he was too excited to write anything
 B. he was not sure whether he did well
 C. he had to wait for Rich Ezzo's permission
 D. he wondered if the book would have long influence on him

43. By saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4, the author probably _________.
 A. shows that the book brought him many new thoughts
 B. shows how bad the traffic is in town
 C. describes the difficulty in understanding the book
 D. explains it's hard to change one's attitude to money
44. Which of the following is supported by the passage?
  A. The author had known Rich Ezzo before.
 B. The author hasn't dreamed of getting rich immediately.
 C. The author always prefers e-books to paper books.
 D. The author likes Get Rich Quick-type of publications.
