C
Several years ago, I read a book Your Money or Your Life, written by Joe Domingguez and Vicki Robin. The major theme of the book is the idea that if you want to cut your spending, you’ll have to begin by stopping trying to impress other people.
The authors divide people into two groups : people whose opinions you care about, and people whose opinions you don’t care about one way or another. It’s easy to stop caring about people whose opinions you don’t care about. Who cares what they think ? As long as you’re not doing something truly immoral —— something that might potentially create a negative reputation for you —— it doesn’t matter what they think.
But shouldn’t you impress other people whose opinions you do care about ? Anyway, they are people you want to meet : customers, friends and family.
The answer is that you don’t need to impress those people with expensive, shiny things. The relationship you’ve built with them —— or you’re going to build with them —— is based on you, not on the material items. They’ll either like you for you or they won’t.
To put it simply, take care of the basics. Keep yourself clean. Keep your weight under control. Wear reasonable clothing. Work on your communication skills. If you have them covered, you don’t need to invest time and money in impressing other people.
Coming to this realization is incredibly valuable. It drops your clothing budget. It drops your automobile budget. It drops your electronics budget. It drops your housing budget. You don’t need a shiny car, an iPhone, or a $50 haircut.
Yes , you may actually still want one or two of these things, but the impetus(动力) comes from what your personal values are, not what other people around you seem to value or what marketing messages you receive.
For some people, it seems impossible. Their social cues come from advertising-laden media and from friends who also get their cues from advertising-laden media.They believe they need a slick cellphone and $100 casual clothes. Their self-worth revolves around that little burst they get from impressing others.
People should learn to break through that situation. In short, don’t play socially by the tiring old rules that revolve around needing to impress people. Instead, spend your time on things that bring real value to you and give real value to others.
46. Which of the following behaviours is “immoral”according to the second paragraph ?
A. Caring about other people’s opinion.
B. Dropping your clothing budget.
C. Copying existing works.
D. Obeying the traffic rule.
47. To build relationship with others, you should pay attention to the following EXEPT _______.
A. dressing casually
B. learning about weight control
C. improving communication skills
D. being a tidy person
48. As for people we care about, what does the author advise us to do ?
A. To impress them in a proper way.
B. To buy them special gifts.
C. To spare more time to be with them.
D. To impress them with shiny things.
49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ?
A. An iPhone is totally unnecessary in our life.
B. Your family members’ opinions are always worth caring about.
C. Learning how to impress others helps people save money.
D. You should always be aware of what other people around you seem to value.
50. What is the best title for the passage ?
A. Whose opinions do you care about ?
B. Two different groups of people.
C. My favorite book : Your Money or Your Life
D. Stop trying to impress other people.

One of the most unknown youth culture in the United States is that of high school and college runners.Not everyone who has ever been on their school’s track team is part of this culture.To be a part of this culture you need to do a lot Of running,knowing how it feels to race to exhaustion(筋疲力尽),see no reason why any weather should keep you from running,and be a little crazy.
I,myseIf,am part of this culture.I ran cross-country,which is running outside over uneven ground,for my high schoo1.I joined this culture when 1 was in ninth grade.

There are a few things that set the youth culture of runners apart from the overall running culture.One of the many differences is that teen runners usually run in large groups,with a lot of conversation and fooling around.Young runners play games and talk to their friends when they run.While adults may run with a friend and have a conversation,you will rarely see twenty of them running through the woods yelling back and forth at each other.Young runners also make up a lot of games.My friends and 1 would throw balls while running and invented a game we called Shockey,which was pretty much soccer on lce.
Most of youth runners run for competition and not for fitness.Young runners want to run in races not to just lose weight like many adults.This means they run a lot faster and tougher generally.To lose weight you can just jog easily but to race you have to really push yourself and run to exhaustion.It’s a completely different style of running and that is what builds this culture .

It is 42 to be a spectator (旁观者)for the game I love, knowing that no one has enough faith to give me the chance to 43 .Tears well up, but I hold them back and stabilize (使安定)myself.I shouldn’t be so 44 over something so silly.
Away from the game, it’s easier to put my thoughts together, 45 letting my emotions drive my reasoning.I consider 46 I am where I am.I have played basketball my whole life.I have a passion for the 47 and always have.There is nothing like the thrill of 48 : the swish of the net, the sweat rolling off my cheeks, even the bruises (伤疤)are battle wounds worn 49 after every game.
