A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ￥100 bill？” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you, but fir st, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Th en he said, “Who wants it now？” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “What if I do this？” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it？” Hands went back into the air. “My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ￥l00!”
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value：you are always valuable to those people who love you.

Parents need to be good role models to help their children make sensible financial decisions, according to Adam Hancock and his team, from East Caronlina University in the US. Their work highlights that parents who argue about finances contribute to increasing credit card debt
among their children during their students years. Their work is published online in Springer's Journal of Family and Economic Issues.
Credit card debt among college students has been a growing concern for researchers and policymakers over the last decade. In addition, there is growing concern among educators that more students are dropping out of school, not bec ause of academic failure, but because of financial reasons, and credit card especially. Hancock and colleagues' study is the first to examine how parental interactions, and financial knowledge and attitudes may have a cumulative effect（累积效应）on the number of credit cards students own and their level of credit card debt.
The researchers analyzed data for 420 undergraduate students from seven different American universities, who took part in the College Student Financial Literacy Survey. According to the online survey, nearly two-thirds of students had a credit card, and nearly a third had more than one. Those students who reported that their parents argued about finances were more likely to have more than two cards than the students who se parents who did not argue about finances.
In terms of debt, those students who had two or more credit cards were nearly three times more likely to report having credit card debt over ＄500.
The researchers conclude, "It is clear that the influence of parents cannot be neglected. Researchers, educators and policymakers should work in finding effective ways to increase the positive financial behaviors for college students. We need to help students learn financial skills and establish healthy financial attitudes at earlier ages to prevent poor financial habits from taking root."
64.In Adam Hancock's research, student's credit card debt is related to their _________.
A.knowledge
B.concerns
C.school
D.parents
65.When college students have credit card debt, they may ________.
A.quit school
B.fail in their exams
C.study financial knowledge
D.have more credit cards
66.What can we infer from Paragraph 3？
A. More than 400 students in a university took the survey.
B. The survey was conducted with the paper questionnaire.
C. Nearly all the students in this survey have credit cards.
D. Students have fewer cards if their parents argue more.
67.As a student, what can you learn from the passage？
A. We need to turn to our parents when we have credit card debt.
B. We should build correct financial attitudes when we are young.
C. We shouldn't have credit cards so that we can avoid argument.
D. We can have more credit cards to make life more comfortable.

A woman from Japan was telling a friend about her trip to the United States. The woman had visited major businesses and investment companies in New York City and Chicago.
“I studied English before I left home,” she said. “But I still was not sure that people were speaking English.”
Her problem is easy to understand. Americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere. They have a language of their own. Some of the words and expressions
deal with the special areas of their work. Other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry.
One such saying is “get your act together”.
When things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angry. He may shout, “Stop making mistakes. Get your act together.
Or, if the employer is calmer, he may say, “Let us get our act together.” Either way, the meaning is the same. Getting your act together is getting organized. In business, it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of action.
It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began. But, it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry. Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. The director may have said, “Calm down, now. Get your act together.”
Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970s. Mister Rogers says the Manchester Guardian newspaper used it in 1978. The newspaper said a reform policy required that the British government get its act together.
Now, this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet. One company even called its yearly report, “Getting Our Act Together.”
The Japanese visitor was confused by another expression used by American business people. It is “cut to the chase”.
She heard that expression when she attended an important meeting of one company. One official was giving a very long report. It was not very interesting. In fact, some people at the meeting were falling asleep.
Finally, the president of the company said, “Cut to the chase.”
Cut to the chase means to stop spending so much time on details or unimportant material. Hurry and get to the good part.
Naturally, this saying was started by people who make movies. Hollywood movie producers believe that most Americans want to see action movies. Many of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars, or in airplanes or on foot。
Cut is the director’s word for stop. The director means to stop filming, leave out some material, and get to the chase scene now.
So, if your employer tells you to cut to the chase, be sure to get to the main point of your story quickly.
68. After the woman visited the United States she might feel that __________.
A. it’s difficult to make money
B. It’s easy to ma ster English
C. her English was poor
D. people there weren’t very friendly
69. According to the text, the expression “get one’s act together” __________.
A. was first used by a Japanese business woman
B. was commonly read by readers in a newspaper in 1978.
C. originally came from a yearly report of a company
D. was forbidden to be used in the government policy
70. What do the sayings “get your act together” and “cut to the chase” have in common？
A. their origins
B. Their meanings
C. Their uses
D. their popularities
71. The text is most likely to be found in a book about _________.
A. life attitude
B. travel journals
C. successful business
D. language culture

A simple flower made headlines in the British press last week. How could that be？
British Prime Minister David Cameron and his ministers were attending a reception hosted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. They insisted on wearing poppies（罂粟花） in their buttonholes.
What’s wrong with that？
According to the Global Times, Chinese officials apparently had asked the UK delegation not to wear poppies. The British said that poppies meant a great deal to them on that day and they would wear them all the same.
So what’s the significance of the poppy？It’s a flower which has different cultural and symbolic meanings for British and Chinese people.
From the Chinese point of view, the poppy is a symbol of China’s humiliation at the h ands of European powers in the Opium Wars of the 19th century. Britain forced China to open the borders to trade – including in the opium – which was made from poppies grown in India.
Yet from the British viewpoint the poppy is a reminder of the killing during World War I. Red poppies grew on the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium where many thousands of British soldiers died or were buried. Since then, Poppy Day （November 11） has become a time in the UK to wear poppies and remember the sacrifices of British soldiers and civilians in times of war.
So you can see that the poppy sets off strong feelings in the hearts of Chinese and British people for different reasons. And it makes sense for us to try to understand each other’s standpoint.
Of course cultural differences can also be interesting and funny. And what one nation thinks is an acceptable gift may be viewed differently by their guests from overseas. US President Barack Obama gave a gift of an iPod to Britain’s Queen – a dull person with no interest in music. Obama also presented Gordon Brown with a fine selection of American movies. But they were in US format and impossible to play on British DVD players.
Many countries have diplomats stationed overseas. Diplomats provide information and advice to their governments back home. However, sometimes it would seem that even diplomats can overlook the cultural significance of a small flower.
72. British Prime Minister David Cameron probably attended a reception in Beijing on __________.
A. October 1
B. November 11
C. December 31
D. January 11
73. The poppy reminds the Chinese of __________.
A. the shame caused by European countries in the 19th century
B. the British soldiers who were killed and buried duri ng World War I
C. the Chinese soldiers killed during World War II
D. the suffering caused by Britain during World War I
74. The diplomatic problem in Beijing is mainly caused by __________.
A. the translation mistake
B. the language difference
C. the cultural dif ference
D. the different lifestyle
75. We can infer that __________.
A. Britain’s Queen is not interested in art
B. Gordon Brown was fond of American movies US President Barack Obama sent him
C. US President Barack Obama received a gift for music
D. Britain’s Queen may not like the iPod US President Obama presente
