What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don't even try any more because you think what you do is not enough．

Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time, however hard we work, it seems that there is someone else who can do it much better．

I have always enjoyed music and it is to me that every musician has a of their own．My father _ several instruments and when he played with other people, it was not difficult to his sound in a group．Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own sound．

I heard of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student, " else can make the sound that you make．" The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else's, but who is to say which is ．It is said that, " is in the eye of the beholder .” .

Every person has a different tone of voice that only to them, we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of that is unique to them．It might not be the sound of your music or your voice at all．It be the way you whistle or the sound of your footsteps．

People often say that Money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.

Ask anyone in business. They will tell you that it is a jungle out there. The expression probably began because a jungle is filled with wild animals and unknown dangers that threaten people.

People in business have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments. Bogus means something that is not real.

Nobody is sure how the word got started. But it began to appear in American newspapers in the 1800s. A newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts, said the word came from a criminal whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he did not have enough money in the bank. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing. The newspaper said Americans shortened and changed the criminal’s name Borghese to Bogus.

People trying to earn money must be also aware of the risk of being ripped off. A writer for a magazine said he first saw the expression used in 1971. It was on a sign that a student carried during a protest demonstration at a university. The message on the sign was that the student felt cheated.

To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. This expression means to get to the bottom or the most important of something. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “it sounds good, but how much does it cost?”

Word expert Charles Funk thinks the expression comes from sailors on ships. They clean the bottom of a boat. When they have removed all the dirt, they are down to the copper pieces that hold the ship together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can prevent rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money in that jungle out there. And, some good luck will help, too.

1.Why do people say money talks?

A. Because money can tell us something.

B. Because the rich tend to decide a thing.

C. Because everyone loves to have money.

D. Because it is hard to earn money.

2.My uncle is in a jungle out there, which means .

A. he is a success in his own business

B. he will face many difficulties soon

C. he will fight against wild animals

D. he is interested to go through a jungle

3.Borghese is considered to be a criminal .

A. because he used the word “bogus” for the first time

B. because he was accused of writing false checks

C. because he didn’t have enough money in the bank

D. because he disappeared after he paid some checks

4.When you ask how much it cost, it means .

A. you are always caring about money

B. you declare you won’t be cheated

C. you care nothing about the quality

D. you get down to the real issues

5.It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. Charles Funk has created many interesting words

B. brass is a necessary people of equipment of a ship

C. many businessmen have been cheated in life

D. many English words have their interesting stories

Scotland is a unique place, loaded with history, where you can find aristocratic（貴族的）palaces and castles, as well as the traditional parades in national costumes.

In order to see and discover the true soul of Scotland today and what formed the character of this splendid region, we have to go towards the northern regions, to the Grampian Mountains（格蘭扁山區(qū)）, beautiful and plain. The Scots conquered the environment with simple spades and strong arms, for it was difficult to farm.

The history of this ancient struggle, and its people’s ancient love with the hard land, can be felt within the walls of the Angus Folk Museum. You are able to get a feel of the typical rural atmosphere of times past from the everyday artifacts displayed here.

From coastal Aberdeen in towards the Grampian Mountains there runs the Castle Trail, a road that touches on many fortresses（堡壘）, which are witnesses of continual fights against the control of neighboring England in Scottish history.

Perhaps the most exciting moment for Scottish autonomy is the one experienced inside this ancient church of Arbroath, where, in 1320, the Declaration of Independence was celebrated, at the instigation（鼓動(dòng)）of King Robert the Bruce. He carried out the plan for autonomy drawn up by the great popular hero William Wallace, for whom cinema has designed the wonderful film Brave Heart, the winner of the five Oscars.

This is Glamis Castle, where King Macbeth and Queen Elizabeth used to live. Among the most frequent guests here are the predictable ghosts, if not actually created, by ancient popular beliefs. These have been handed down over the centuries by people tending to live with mystery, with the forces of the supernatural.

Another attraction here is a legendary monster: the Loch Ness Monster. Whether it’s real or imaginary, this monster, which has been nicknamed Nessie, has collected a good 3,000 sightings over the last 50 years.

The true flag of Scotland, tartan, is recognizable from the brightly colored plaid patterns which are used to distinguish the various social groups.

Bagpipes and dancing open the competitions of local sporting events, which are called Highland Gatherings.

1.Take a look at the Angus Folk Museum, and we can learn about _______. .

A. the love of ancient Scottish to the hard land

B. the rural atmosphere in Grampian Mountains

C. ancient Scottish people’s fighting against the enemy

D. the history of the Scottish famous palaces and castles

2.What were the fortresses built for?

A. Fighting against the invaders of England.

B. Developing business with neighbor areas.

C. Preventing the people from moving around.

D. Providing a shelter from tough weather for travelers.

3.In the fifth paragraph, the underlined “the one” refers to the moment of _______.

A. the film Brave Heart winning the five Oscars

B. the plan for Scottish autonomy being carried out

C. the instigation of King Robert the Bruce

D. the celebration of the Declaration of Independence

4. According to the passage, which one is TRUE?

A. The film Brave Heart is mainly about King Robert Bruce.

B. The Scottish film industry is one of the attractions of the land.

C. Highland gatherings are often marked with bagpipes and dancing

D. The supernatural forces in Glamis Castle may change a person’s belief.

5.The purpose of the writer is to _______.
