A nameless British millionaire is currently putting people to the test by handing out £1,000 to those he randomly meets in the street.All he'd ask is that they'd do something positive with the cash.The reactions are varied,from the surprised to the suspicious to the simply delighted.He has given away close to £100,000 to people he has met around the world.He hands those that he chooses a card explaining his project and allows them 48 hours to get in touch.
“Mr.Lucky” is from London,in his late thirties and appears wearing rolled-up jeans and with a camera around his neck.Working for an insurance company abroad,he earned his fortune and resigned last year after having realized he had more money than he knew what to do with.
“I once booked myself a flight into space;I thought I'd fulfill my childhood dream.Then I told my friends and when the conversation changed to what they would do if they had that amount of money,I felt embarrassed.Their ideas were much more generous,interesting and responsible than mine,” said Mr.Lucky.After canceling his space flight and struggling to choose a worthy cause for his cash,he decided to set up the WeAreLucky project.“I didn't want to just pass on my luck;I also wanted to share the responsibility.I decided to give away £1,000 every day.I'd asked the receivers to fill in a brief questionnaire to explain their intentions in using the money.”
But is handing over the responsibility to others really a responsible thing to do? How does he know the money will be used properly? “I'm not going to judge or start checking up on them.Sometimes what we need to do is just believing others,” he said with nearly child?like enthusiasm.

2.How did Mr.Lucky get so much money?

Some people succeed in unbelievable ways.
Roussel was orphaned at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing his favorite songs on the piano.
Three years later, Roussel’s grandfather died, and his aunt adopted him. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take regular piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside resort added a second love to his life -- the sea. He studied to be a naval cadet (海军学员), but still made time to study music.
In the French Navy, while he served on a warship based at Cherbourg, he and two friends found the time to play the music of Beethoven and other composes (作曲家). Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first performance as a composer.
That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow offices offered to show it to a well-known conductor (指挥家), Edouard Colonne. When Roussel’s friend returned with the manuscript (手稿), he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
Not long afterwards, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied characters that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music. As for Eduoard Colonne’s inspiring advice that Roussel devote his life to music, Roussel's navy friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he had never even shown Roussel's manuscript to the conductor.
1.Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
a. Roussel gave up his naval career.
b. Roussel was adopted by his aunt.
c. Roussel read through the family music collection.
d. Roussel had his first performance as a composer in Cherbourg.
A. c, b, d, a B. b. c, d, aC. b, c, a. dD. c, b, a, d
2.What ______ did played the most important part in Roussel's final success.
A. his mother B. the husband of his aunt
C. his navy friend D. Edouard Colonne
3.We can infer from the article that______.
A. Roussel's aunt adopted him after his grandfather died.
B. Roussel read through the family music collection in his grandfather's.
C. Colonne advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
D. If Roussel hadn't joined the navy, he might not have achieved so much.
4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. A clever musician B. A white lie
C. A helpful conductor D. A great manuscript

What can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn later.
The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.
“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. "Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed," said Xu. She believed that all this helps you "earn a higher salary”.
Maybe that's why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Face book's 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.
But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?
“Call me uncoil, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition (定义) of ‘friend',” said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US.
1.The new study from the University of Essex in Britain shows that _________.
A. if you have more friends you will not live happily.
B. the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn in your late life.
C. the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live.
D. friends can make more money for you.
2.According to Xu Yanchun, when you have lots of friends, it means_____
A. You have the ability to earn more money.
B. You will not feel lonely.
C .You are quite content with your life.
D. You have the ability to get along with others in various situations.
3. What’s the main idea of the passage ?
A. The passage mainly tells us something about the friendship.
B. Friends plays an more important part in our daily life than anything else.
C. Friends are currency.
D. Friends give you success.
4. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. If you have more friends, you can make a fortune in the future.
B. Graduating from college means that you can make a fortune in the future.
C. Friends means a form of currency.
D. Friends can make you wider social circle and make you feel better when you feel depressed.
