In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money．Money does have its most useful effect on the poor．But even if a person has already got plenty of money，________．

If money were everything．all millionaires would have real love，true friendship，good health and a long life．However，this is not always correct．

Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more pleasure than“I love you”．But can love be bought? I’m afraid not．Love means to give，not to take．To every person，health and a long life are probably the best things．Well，can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is“No”．

Of all the longest living people in the world，few of them are millionaires．True friendship can’t be bought，either．In a word，where money is dreamed too much，it can cause brothers to quarrel，marriage to end，lovers to hate，and strangers to fight．No matter how much money you

have，it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with，no one to cry for．
