I think I want to live without money because I hate it. I HAT
21、E MONEY.“ We were all touched by Marias words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us. After class I offered to help Maria deal with her financial problems. She hesitated to accept my offer, and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid
22、of what it might involve. I quickly assured her that I wouldnt make her do more than she was able to. I told her frankly that I didnt enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldnt burden her with guilt, judgments, or impossible tasks. All I would ask her to do was to let me help her
23、 look at her fears and try to make some sense of them. Maria still resisted my offer, and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people. “Ill never understand money,“ she said. “My facts are meaningless. “ “I dont deserve to have money.“
24、“I never have enough“ “I have too little to manage.“ “My financial position isnt worth looking at;“ and the most devastating one of all, “I just cant do it.“ Going home that day, I couldnt get Maria out of my mind. Her attitude conveyed the same negativity and fear that I believed annoyed many peopl
25、e. I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively. My counseling has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self-doubts and fear for survival. Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we dont believe we can do it wel
26、l, and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk. On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life, but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were. It locks us up in self-doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power, our spirit. （分数：1.00

30、ritD.peaceTelevision has opened windows to everybody. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible thin
31、gs that have been shown on the screen. Television has also changed politics. The most remote can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, he is more likely to vote, and so to make his opinion count. Unfortunately, televisions influence has been grea
32、tly harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe and want to practice what they see. They do believe that the violence they see is normal and
33、acceptable. All educators agree that the “television generations“ are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are more impatient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures, to read a book t

38、tists will be able to freeze dying people and revive them years later when a cure for their disease has been found opening the door to human immortality, predict excited experts.

40、ld freeze you and stop time for you until we can cure those diseases or reverse a condition like aging. “ “What were looking at is a gradual victory over death and aging and freezing someone and then bringing them back could be here within four years!“ “ Not only will freezing allow ill persons to s
41、urvive until a cure for their disease if found, but it will also open up new possibilities for organ transplants, which will in turn allow people to live much longer perhaps indefinitely. “ “Right now, organs taken from a person whos recently died must be transplanted to another person within a very
42、 short time, but with the new technology, body organs could be frozen for use whenever theyre needed. “ Doctors could freeze a patients body, then warm up just one diseased organ a lung or a liver, for example. The person could be injected with massive doses (剂量) of drugs that would be toxic (有毒的) t
43、o the body if it werent frozen. “Older individuals will choose to enter freezing before death, with instructions not to be revived until a means to stop and even reverse aging is discovered. “ “Without a doubt, freezing has the potential to make man immortal. And we should see our first freezing cen

Some issues are so serious that most of us dont even try to fix them. Bono cant save the world by himself, but like others who have shown the way, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, he is proving that one man can make a difference. Molly Leuschel
