The world is filled with smart ，educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago ，my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic fixed it in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound. I was amazed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant （顾问）who gave me the phrase ，“They are one skill away from great wealth.”
There is an old saying that goes，“JOB means ‘Just Over Broke（破产）”. And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers “live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend that young people seek work for what they will learn ，more than what they will earn.
When I ask the classes I teach ，“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's ？ ” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask ，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger ，how come McDonald's makes more money than you？” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than t he skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
1.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .
A. he is just one of the talented people B. he is ready to help others
C. he has a sharp sense of hearing D. he knows little about car repairing
2.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“ ”.
A. spend more than they can afford B. do in their own way
C. live in their own circle D. live within what they earn
3.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A. They don't work hard enough. B. They lack financial intelligence. C. They don't make full use of their talents. D. They have no specialized skills.
4.The main purpose of the author is to tell us .
A. how young people can find a satisfactory job
B. what schools should teach about finance
C. why so many talented people are poor
D. how McDonald's makes much money

In the latest romance-drama, Descendants of the Sun (《太阳的后裔》), a handsome soldier Yoo Shi-jin（柳时镇） (Song Joong-ki)(宋仲基) meets the pretty doctor Kang Mo-yeon（姜暮烟） (Song Hye-kyo)（宋慧乔） in a hospital, and he doesn’t hesitate to hit on her.
The dialogue, which takes place early in the first episode( 集）, immediately indicates that this is no ordinary South Korean drama. There’s no family feud （不睦）, or love tangles, or guesses and misunderstandings. The 16-episode show is set in the fictional war-torn country of Uruk （乌鲁克）. Song Joong-ki is the leader of a special warfare command unit, while Song Hye-kyo plays a doctor who works for a humanitarian medical organization. Both are sent in the midst of disaster and disease as part of their work with UN peacekeeping troops. Both know and show clearly what they want and what they hate.
But what stands out the most are Song’s skills as a pick-up artist（撩妹技能）.
Boldness and creativity are the key weapons in his arsenal. When Kang invites Yoo to drink wine with her, Yoo , who is not allowed to drink alcohol as a soldier, says, “There is a way” before kissing her. Forget about the “eighth-episode rule” . This kiss happens in the fourth.
Humor also does the trick. On their first date in a cinema, Yoo says, “This is the most exciting moment of my life. The moment I am with a beautiful woman before the theater lights go out.” When Kang tries to give Yoo a hard time, Yoo jokes, “I mistook you for a beautiful woman because it’s dark.”
And actor Song Joong-ki, who just came back from two years of military service last May, makes sure he delivers his pick-up lines just right.
“In Deep Rooted Tree (《树大根深》) and The Innocent Man (《善良的男人》), he [Song Joong-ki] showed he had the steel to play fearless and heartless men – that he could be taken seriously as an actor, despite his pretty face. In Descendants, he hits the emotional core of every scene, whether he has to be bold and amorous, guarded and mysterious, or sad,” said critic Foong Woei Wan in The Straits Times.
1.What is the relationship between Song Joong-ki and Song hye-hyo?
A. lover B. colleague C. actor D. doctor-patient
2.Why say that the Descendants of the Sun is no ordinary South Korean drama?
A. Because actors know and show clearly what they want and what they hate. B. It broke the previous Korean old story.
C. It exits family feud and love tangles. D. The pick-up artist is unique and special.
3.When the Descendants of the Sun tells us that heterosexual （ 异 性 ） contacts is important to have some quality including 。
① humor ② Boldness and creativity ③ bold ④ emotional
A. ①② B. ①②③ C. ②③④ D. above all
4.What is the article mainly about?
A. Introduce a drama called the Descendants of the sun.
B. Song Zhongji could be taken seriously as an actor, despite his pretty face.
C. The Descendants of the sun open a new pattern to pick-up woman.
D. The reason why the Descendants of the sun gain success.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。UrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority of human being lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago.1.In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning.2.The process of urbanization—the migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms.3.Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninetyfive people on farms to feed five people in cities.4.Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus（过剩）food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country.5.Today, instead of needing ninetyfive farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred nonfarmers.
| A. That kept cities very small. |
| B. The rest live in small towns. |
| C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered |
| D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies. |
| E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. |
| F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive. |
| G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings. |

Recently I read an article in a magazine. It was about the mother who was worried about her son just because of he always kept his hair long. The mother thought that was not right，and the son felt there was nothing unusually about it. Different generations have different opinion on the same thing. That is what is meaning by “the generation gap”．We can see them in our daily life. Most of our parents like listening to old songs when young people prefer pop songs. Every time my father finds me listening to rock music，he always shouted，“Shut it off. It’s awful！” How can we deal with the generation gap?
