EVERYBODY in this world is different from one another. Butdo you know that understanding differences can help you bettermanage your money?
As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values orbeliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the educationwe receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easyto change later in life.
Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief ofhow to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and ithas a great impact on the way we look after our money.
According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are:the ant, the cricket and the snail. The ant—works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order tostore food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that theycan enjoy life when they get old and retired, The ant loves to savebut they could make more out of their money if they were willing toinvest in some funds and stocks with low risk. The cricket——fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think toomuch about the future. They even borrow money when they really wantsomething. Many young people now belong to this group. These peoplehave little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance. The snail—lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for them-selves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buythings such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans eventhough they are not sure whether they can afford it. This can causeproblems in the future. They should plan more carefully.
People with character of the snail would like to __________.

Our beliefs and values are affected by the following except __________.

This passage mainly talks about __________.

Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?

Do you know about a series of books that say they are fordummies? These American self-help books have been translated intomore than thirty-nine languages including Chinese, Arabic, Russian, French, German, Greek and Spanish.
“Dummy " is a word for a stupid person. The dummy books arenot really for stupid people. They are designed to show people howto do something they may never have tried before, like painting ahouse or learning a language. The books all say in a funny way thatthey are for dummies, such as World History for Dummies, Rabbitsfor Dummies, Chinese Cooking for Dummies, and Wedding Planningfor Dummies. The first such book, DOS for Dummies, was publishedin 1991. It helped people learn how to use the DOS operating system for computers. Since then, more than one hundred and fiftymillion dummy books have been sold.
The dummies, com website explains the idea behind the books. It says that they show that people can be taught to do anything. Firstthey can make fun of ideas that are difficult to understand. Thenthey show how the information can be interesting and easy. Thepublishers say that the books do not provide more information thannecessary. They give readers just enough information to do whatthey want. They say that the dummy books give the best and easiestway to do something. And the books use simple and easy language.
There are more than one thousand different dummy books. Areport in New York Times says that the top-selling dummy books arethose that explain technology and personal finance.

In recent years many countries have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts believe that the answer is to make jobs more varied. Do more variedjobs lead to greater productivity? There is something to suggest thatwhile variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, itdoes not make him work harder. So variety is not important.
Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his jobin his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given inthe modern factory with its complicated machinery which must beused in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is very little that can be done to achieve this.
Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the workersees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are saidto be experimenting with having many small production lines ratherthan a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem then that the degree ofworkers' contribution is important.
To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity?The workers themselves certainly think this is important, but perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is soboring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similarargument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps ifcompanies succeed in making workers' jobs more interesting, theywill neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be soimportant to them.
Which of the following things will not increase productivity?

The last sentence in this passage means that if companiesmanage to make workers, jobs more interesting, __________.

In this passage, the writer tells us __________.

The writer of this passage is probably a __________.
A. teacher    B. worker   
C. manager    D, physicist

Few people would question the value of taking part in sportsfor young people. With proper training, supervision, protectiveequipment and techniques, and a proper emphasis on winning, sports can develop a healthy body and spirit and a life-long interestin being active and fit. Without such measures, childhood sports canlead to injuries and even paralysis or death.
Even in the best conditions, no activity can be risk-free. Butmost serioushazards are preventable. Cyclists and football playerscan reduce their risks by wearing helmets ； hockey players by wearing masks ； basketball and tennis players by wearing eye guards ；baseball players by wearing batting helmets.
Besides, risks to individual players can often be found, andthus prevented, through a properly performed medical exam before achild plays. For accidents that may not be preventable, having anemergency plan and first-aid equipment, and someone trained to usethe equipment, can be lifesaving.
Still, each year, according to the American College of SportsMedicine, more than 775，000 children under 14 are treated inemergency rooms for sports injuries, nearly half of them preventable. An estimated 300，000 athletes experience exercise-relatedhead illnesses each year, and almost all of them should have been avoided.
Further, from half to three-fourths of sports-related concussions(脑震荡）are never even diagnosed ；the injured are often sent backto play too soon and put at risk of another more serious brain-damaging concussion. To help reduce these risks, the National Center forSports Safety, with the National Athletic Trainers' Association, offersa three-hour online safety course for coaches for 28 at www. SportsSafety.org.
