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.
The author wrote this passage to _________
A. strongly recommend an e-book.
B. show the author's attitude to money.
C. introduce the general idea of an e-book.
D. point out Rich Ezzo isn't money hungry.
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
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
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
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.

My son. The phrase felt difficult and strange the first time I said it, and I had to practice it a thousand times. I started saying the words to myself the day when the ultrasound told me we were having a baby.
Finally, my son was born.
The nurse came out of the delivery room, holding a tiny, howling human being wrapped in a white sheet, his small hands and delicate fingers shaking nervously. “Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.
I stood up, holding my breath. She showed me my baby. “My son,” I whispered. The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah.”
But in my heart I heard him cry out, “Daaaaaaad!” I don’t care if everyone in the room will swear they didn’t hear my baby say that. I called him, “My son,” and he called me “Dad,” and that’s that.
People ask me, “What did you feel at that moment?” I can’t even begin to answer. I’m a writer yet I try hard to find the right words. Joyful isn’t powerful enough. Bliss(狂喜) is not sweet enough. Peaceful isn’t calm enough. Happy isn’t tense enough.
After my son was taken away to the nursery, I sat down and shut my eyes. But tears escaped them away. Then out of the blue, my 80-year-old father entered, and we embraced.
“Dad,” I whispered.
“My son,” my heart heard him saying.
Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.
“My son,” I imagined him saying.
“Daaaaaaaaaad!” I cried my little lungs out.
At that point, I knew I was going to be a great father. The old man in front of me seemed to agree. He smiled and we walked out of the room in search of the tiny human being that would change our lives for ever.
1.Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?

B.All the people didn’t hear the baby say except the writer. |

D.The baby was taken away because the nurse found there was a mistake. |
2.The author couldn’t tell how he felt at the moment because ________.
A.he was a writer |
B.he was too excited |
C.he was too nervous |
D.it’s a feeling too complex to express |
3.We can learn the following from the passage EXCEPT that ________.
A.the author got his first baby |
B.he probably had a lung disease |
C.the author didn’t really hear “Daaaaad” from his baby |
D.the baby would change the author’s life |
4.Why was the writer sure he was going to be a great father?

One Sunday morning in June 1959 my mother walked into my room. “Surprise!” she said, proudly holding up a yellow dress. “I made it just for you. What do you think?”
I bit my tongue. How could I tell Mom it was the ugliest dress I had ever seen?
“It’s perfect for church,” my mother continued delightedly.“I wish someone had made a dress like this for me.”
Too bad you can’t wear it, I thought. But I knew Mom had spent a lot of time on the dress. No one should refuse.
Unwillingly I put it on.
All through church I prayed(祈禱),Lord, let me get out of here without anyone seeing me. Especially Dennis Pearce, the boy I had a crush on, one of the coolest boys at Neptune High School. Although we were in some of the same classes, Dennis had never taken any notice of me. Every time I got near him, I became tongue-tied.
At the end of the service I rushed for the door. But I had to wait on the steps while my parents chatted with their friends. Just a little while longer…Then out of the corner of my eye I saw the Pearces coming near. Before I could escape, Dennis was right beside me.
I started talking, hoping if I kept it up he wouldn’t notice my ugly dress. “I’m going to college in September,” I said.
“That’s great,” Dennis replied “I got accepted to police academy(學院).”
“Wow!” I said. Somehow I kept the conversation going. The next thing I knew Dennis had asked me out on a date!
We courted(戀愛)through college, and eventually got married. Months after our wedding I asked Dennis if he remembered the day he had first asked me out.
“Certainly I do,” he said.“You were always quiet in school. I didn’t think you’d be much fun. But you were so lively when we talked on the church steps, I wanted to get to know you better.” Maybe that yellow dress wasn’t what I would have chosen, but that day it was the perfect dress for me.
1.Why did she accept such a dress?
A.She was fond of its new pattern.
B.Her Mom just brought it for her.
C.It was proper to go to church in it.
D.She understood her Mom’s love.
2.The author tried to carry the dialog on,hoping .
A.she would catch other boys’ attention
B.Dennis would get her out for a date
C.Dennis wouldn’t take notice of her dress
D.she could be noticed by Dennis’s parents
3.The underlined part“had a crush on’’ in Paragraph 6 probably means:“ ”.
A.10ved deeply B.met by chance C.100ked down on D.worried about
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.An Ugly Dress B.A Perfect Dress
C.A Dress for the Church D.A Dress for the Date
