                                      Success Is Not a Destination(目的地)
     Should people stop once they have achieved something? No! In life, they are always trying to make
things better or have more of the same success.
     Athletes are constantly striving(努力) to shorten time for races, increase heights or distances.
The world of medicine has had its series of successes, too. Christian Barnard performed several
successful heart transplants. Other medical experts have achieved organ transplants. Throughout the ages, mankind has found treatments and cures for cancer and other diseases. A cure for AIDS might soon be
discovered.
     Age does not seem to slow down achievers. Tina Tuner at 54 is still singing in abundance(豐富) and
attracting sell-out crowds wherever she goes.
     Comedian George Burns, in his 90s, wants to perform at Caesar's Palace when he turns 100.
     Success does not belong only to the rich and famous. It should be the goal of everyone. Many
successful people have had humble beginnings.
     Would you believe that actress Michelle Pfeifer of Cat was a supermarket checkout girl?
     At work, we strive for achievement, too. Success may mean organizing a conference more effectively
and efficiently each year. Sometimes, it is not a pat on the back or the promotion that makes it
worthwhile.
      Often, it is the inner thrill(一陣激動(dòng)) and satisfaction of achievement, no matter how small it may
be.
      Aiming for success doesn't mean you are greedy or dissatisfied. It is all part of gaining new
experiences. It ultimately(最終) makes you a more interesting and useful person in society.
     The journey to success has its road blocks, discouragement and distractions. It takes great
resourcefulness and achievement to overcome obstacles and setbacks to move on successfully

閱讀理解

　　It was a day to celebrate if your family had put most of its money in a bank．You will get more money back because of a recent rise in interest rates(利率)．

　　On October 29, for the first time in nine years, the People’s Bank of China(PBOC)raised interest rates．The rate for one-year renminbi deposits(存款)was increased from 1.98 per cent to 2.25 per cent．And the rate for one-year renminbi loans(代款)went up from 5.31 per cent to 5.58 per cent．Longer term rates saw higher increases．

　　So what are interest rates?Banks offer some money to encourage people to keep their savings in a savings account(儲(chǔ)蓄帳戶)，and ask more money in return if you borrow money from them．The percentages of the extra money are the interest rates．

If your parents have borrowed money from banks to pay for houses or cars, the interest rates rise was not good news．

　　An increase in the interest rates on a loan means the borrower will need to repay more to the bank．For example, a person who borrowed, 10,000 yuan from the bank had to return 10,531 yuan before the interest rise．But after the interest rates are increased, he has to pay extra 27 yuan per year．

　　The rise came following a great demand for the cooling of the over-heating Chinese economy．For several years, pushed by a huge investment and construction projects, the country has had the fastest economic growth in the world．But this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes．It is hoped that with a higher interest rate people will act more cautiously and take less risks when borrowing money．

　　“The rate rise will help the economy to cool down．It will reduce investment in unnecessary industrial and construction projects．”said Su Ning, deputy governor(副行長)of the PBOC．

(1)

If we deposit 1000 RMB in the bank for one year, how much can we get after October 29?

(The tax rate on interest rates is 20％．)

[　　]

A．

21.6．

B．

13.68．

C．

15.84．

D．

18．

(2)

What is the purpose of the rise in the interest rates?

[　　]

A．

To attract greater investment．

B．

To make people earn more money．

C．

To carry out construction projects．

D．

To cool down the over-heating Chinese economy．

(3)

By saying “this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes” the writer ________．

[　　]

A．

warns that if the economy grows too rapidly, it will cause trouble

B．

warns us that industry will suffer a loss

C．

advises us to buy bigger clothes when we are young

D．

advises us not to grow too fast

(4)

Which of the following is NOT a result of the increase in the interest rates on a loan?

[　　]

A．

People will make wiser investments．

B．

People will need to repay more to the bank．

C．

People will borrow more money to invest in their business．

D．

People will be careful of taking money from banks to expand their business．
