19.Everybody in this world is different from one another.But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?
As we grow up,we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs.These are influenced by society,our family,the education we receive and so on.Once this value system is set up,it's not easy to change later in life.
Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances.This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.
According to our different values,experts put us in three categories.They are the ant,the cricket and the snail.
◆The ant-works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter,these people don't care about enjoying the moment.They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire.The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.
◆The cricket-fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future.They even borrow money when they really want something.Many young people now belong to this group.These people have little savings.When they get old,they might have problems.They should learn to save and buy insurance.
◆The snail-lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves.They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses.They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it.This can cause problems in the future.They should plan more carefully.
59.Our beliefs and values are affected by the following exceptD.
A.society        B.the family         C.the education     D.money
60.People with the character of the snail would like toC.
A.enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the future
B.put work before everything else.
C.live a luxury life at all costs
D.take the risk of investing a large sum of money
61.Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?A
A.the antsB.the cricketC.the snailD.none of the above
62.This passage mainly talks aboutA.
A.spending nature of people        
B.the reaction between man and insects
C.the insects in nature             
D.the problems with dealing with money.

分析 本文主要講述的是人們的價(jià)值觀和理財(cái)觀念,并給出了三種類型.

解答 59.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,由文中的These are influenced by society,our family,the education we receive and so on.可知我們的信念和價(jià)值觀受社會,家庭,我們收到的教育等等的因素影響.沒有提到money,故選D.
60.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容They take big long-term loans(貸款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury(奢華的) houses.They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it.可知有著蝸牛特點(diǎn)的人比較喜歡不惜一切代價(jià)過奢侈的生活.結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故選C.
61.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)"They should learn to save and buy insurance."和"They should plan more carefully."兩句可知,作者認(rèn)為蟋蟀型的人"應(yīng)當(dāng)存點(diǎn)錢,買些保險(xiǎn)";蝸牛型的人"應(yīng)當(dāng)有一個縝密的計(jì)劃",由此可推斷作者更喜歡具有螞蟻型品質(zhì)的人.結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故選A.
62.A 主旨大意題.綜觀全文可知,本文主要講述的是人們的價(jià)值觀和理財(cái)觀念,并給出了三種類型.結(jié)合選項(xiàng),故選A.

7.You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia's fast-food generation.Dr.Chwang,director of the Department of Food Nutrition,says children are eating more meat and drinking more soft drinks.That is totally different from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat."They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink.So although they may eat the same amount of food,their calorie intake (卡路里攝入量) has increased.Now about 40to 45percent of their calories come from fat,"says Chwang.
Although on the whole Asians are often thin,culture-namely Asians'hospitality (熱情好客)-is a reason for the fatness of today's generation,according to Chwang."Asian people love food,"she says,"Eating and drinking are important social and family activities."In the past,however,big meals were only hosted for special events,as people were more careful with money.In today's climate of wealth and high consumption (消耗),10-course meals are no longer reserved for important times.
"In the past,people had four or more children-now,they have one or two,so they are likely to spoil them,"says Chwang."The easiest way is to give them‘quality food'.Parents think feeding them well is showing their love.They feel bad when their children look thin."
When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children,Chwang says:"there is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play.Children get fat because they don't move,and in the end,they don't want to move because they are fat."
Because of technology,a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports."What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games?They eat chocolate and drink Coke,"says Chwang.

28.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?B
A.Asian children no longer follow their diet tradition.
B.Asian people now like to save more money.
C.Asian children eat big meals more often.
D.Culture leads to the fatness of Asian children.
29.According to the passage,the quality food fed by more parents is actuallyC.
A.healthful food      B.qualified food
C.high-calorie food     D.a(chǎn)greeable food
30.Some parents feel bad when their children look thin,becauseB.
A.they feel that they are not wealthy enough to afford"quality food"
B.they feel that they don't take good care of their children
C.the children don't have a good physical condition
D.their children don't love eating and drinking
31.The purpose of this article is toD.
A.compare the traditional diet with today's diet of Asian children
B.find reasons for increased food consumption of Asian people
C.prove the relationship between fatness and indoor play
D.explain why many Asian children are overweight nowadays.
