There were red faces at one of Britain’s biggest banks recently. They had accepted a telephone order to buy ￡100,000 worth of shares from a 15-year-old schoolboy (they thought he was 21). The shares fell in value and the schoolboy was unable to pay up. The bank lost ￡20,000 on the deal which it cannot get back, because, for one thing, the young boy does not have the money, for another, being under 18, he is not legally liable for his debts. If the shares had risen in value by the same amount that they fell, he would have pocketed ￡20,000 profit. It certainly is better than delivering the morning newspaper. In another case, a boy of 14 found, in his grandmother’s house, a suitcase full of foreign banknotes. But they were now not used in their country of origin or anywhere else. This young boy headed straight to the nearest bank with his pockets filled with notes. The cashiers did not realize the country in question had reduced the value of its currency by 90%. They exchanged the notes at their face value at the current exchange rate. In three days, before he was found out, he took ￡200,000 from nine different banks. Amazingly, he had already spent more than half of this before the police caught up with him. Because he is also under 18 the banks have kissed goodbye to a lot of money, and several cashiers have lost their jobs.
Should we admire these youngsters for being enterprising and showing initiative or condemn them for their dishonesty? Maybe they had managed for years with tiny amounts of pocket money that they got from tight-fisted parents. Maybe they had done Saturday jobs for peanuts. It is hardly surprising, given the expensive things that young people want to buy, such as fashionable running shoes and computer games, if they sometimes think up more imaginative ways of making money than delivering newspapers. These youngsters saw the chance to make a lot of money and took it.
Another recent story which should give us food for thought is the case of the man who paid his six-year-old daughter￡300 a week pocket money. He then charged her for the food she ate a few coins for her piggy bank（存錢灌）“She will soon learn the value of money, ” he said. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Everything has to be paid for and the sooner she learns that the better.” At the other extreme there are fond parents who provide free bed and board for their grown-up children, While even the most hard-hearted parents might hesitate to throw their children out on the streets, we all know of people in their twenties who still shamelessly live off their parents. Surely there comes a time when everyone has to leave the parental nest, look after themselves and pay their own way in life. But when is it?
【小題1】.
Recently one of Britain’s biggest banks _____.

A．bought a lot of shares for a customer and brought him a great loss
B．lost money as its young customer had no money to pay his debts
C．lost much money because the shares they bought fell in value
D．received a telephone order to buy shares for a 21-year-old boy
【小題2】.
. The author’s attitude to the example of the two boys who cheated the banks is _____.
A．objectiveB．subjectiveC．questioningD．negative
【小題3】.

A．he wanted her to know making money was not easy
B．he wanted to save money for her future education
C．he thought it useful for family members to bear life hardships together
D．he wanted her to learn the value of money

Good afternoon, principal, teachers and all students. It is my 1      (honorable) to be here to give a talk to all of you. I have studied in this school for five years. In these five years, I learned one precious thing important not only to me  2        to all of you here, and it is “reading”. I can always gain knowledge from reading. Reading doesn’t   3            up a lot of time but I gain a lot. Now I would like to share my reading experiences with you.

I once read a book Rare Air: Michael on Michael   4         (write) by the greatest basketball player in the history, Michael Jordan. While we envy his great achievement in the basketball and business aspects, few of us focus on his spirit of persistence. In the book, he talks about his experience of     5           he walks on the path to success. In order to join the NBA, he put in every effort to strengthen his muscle, to improve his skills 6             training hard. Because of his efforts, he successfully entered the NBA.

However, he did not stop his training. 7             , the training was even stricter,      8             prepared him to deny(否認(rèn)) the statement released by the public, “Michael is a weak guy!” While the criticism against him diminished(減少；減�。豢s減), he worked even harder to achieve his next goal — the championship of the NBA. Finally, he succeeded.

People honor Michael as “God of basketball” not only for his great basketball skills, but also mainly for his spirit of persistence. While we admire his spirit, we can follow(追求；追逐) his spirit as well. Michael should be our example; we ought to learn from him. As/So long as(只要) we work hard, nothing is impossible. Bear in mind that all of you have the same quality. Nobody is born wise. Putting in effort is the only but   9            (effect) way to advancement. My fellow schoolmates, before I go, I would like to encourage all of you that we should work as hard as we 10               . When you grow up, you may be the one who is admired by the community. My fellow schoolmates, let’s work hard together! Work for our future! Thank you.

Everyone knows we must exercise regularly to maintain good health．Indeed, staying physically fit is a big part of our culture．We consider （and rightly so） that healthy people are attractive people．Since most of us want to be attractive, there is no shortage of exercise clubs, training videos, magazines, and books offering to help us stay physically fit．

Unfortunately, however, our culture does not place the same emphasis on mental fitness．Although we admire and love men and women with strong and healthy-looking bodies, we don’t have the same degree of respect or attraction for smart, educated and mentally healthy people．This is a shame, because there are immense rewards for people who have developed the ability to think well．

If your mind is well trained and flexible, you will be able to understand a great deal of what happens around you．And if you are also well educated--- that is, if you understand basic science, mathematics, music, art, literature, history and so on--- you will find it much easier to make good decisions throughout your life．Over the long run, this leads to a sense of control over your destiny and a much better life than otherwise．

People who are poorly educated or who don’t think well--- that is, people who are not mentally fit see things differently．Their world is controlled by mysterious, but often malevolent (惡意的) forces．Such people live within a system they will never master, forced to follow the rules they will never understand．Although it may not be obvious, most people spend their lives being manipulated (控制) by others．They are told what to do, what to think, how to spend their money, and what they should and should not aspire (渴求) to in life．

In my opinion, if you want to live well, you must be able to use your mind well．For this reason, I want you to be able to concentrate, solve problem, understand complex ideas, and think clearly and quickly．Such skills will make it easier for you to make informed decisions, understand current events, choose good friends, manage your money well, make wise long-term decisions, and appreciate music, art and literature．

The key to developing such skills is to enjoy learning, and to have the ability and motivation to teach yourself．

67．The writer of the passage feels disappointed that______________．

     A．some people have not the skill to make good decisions

     B．the world of the physically healthy people is controlled by mysterious forces

     C．mentally healthy people are not as popular as physically people

     D．too much has been done to help people stay physically fit

68．The underline word “this” refers to___________．

     A．the understanding of a great deal of what goes on around you

     B．the understanding of basic science and mathematics

     C．good training in body and mind

     D．being able to make good decisions in life

69．The writer of the passage thinks that those who are not mentally fit___________．

     A．live a poor and mysterious life              B．can’t control over their life

     C．often do what others do           D．enjoy being fooled and ruled

70．The best title of the passage will most probably be______________．

     A．Mind Helps You More                    B．Train Your Mind

     C．Make Informed Decisions                 D．Learn More to Help Yourself
