He says our relation with others often becomes clearly   45  when money enters the picture. You might have   46  with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will   47  him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings   48  to the friendship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly  49 the friendship if he doesn’t.
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it   50  very important. The author interviewed some millionaires for   51 . Question: What is  52  thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man? Answer: What makes me surprised most is how people give me  53 . I am nothing. I don’t know much. All I   54  money
People just   55  making more and more money, but what is it   56 ? How much do I need for a given purpose in my life?

科目:高中英语 来源:2012-2013学年福建省建瓯二中高二下学期第一次月考英语试卷(带解析) 题型:阅读理解

John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Fortunately he had a strong-willed (意志坚强的) caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.”She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words—as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.
While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by.“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.
It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind.“Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”
Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth $ 150 million.
【小题1】John’s mother decided to move to Chicago because _____.

A.his father died when John was very young
B.life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown
C.John needed more education badly
D.there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown
【小题2】John’s mother_____________________
A.didn’t believe in or depend on others
B.thought one could be whatever one wanted to be
C.believed one would succeed without working hard
D.thought no one could succeed without working hard
【小题3】The underlined sentence“Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”means _____.
A.if you try, you would succeed
B.a failure is difficult to beat, even if you try
C.a try is always followed by a failure
D.no failure can be beaten unless you try
【小题4】The story mainly tells us _____.
A.how John H. Johnson became successful
B.about the mental (心理的) support John’s mother gave him
C.about the importance of a good education
D.about the key to success for blacks
