24、th （ C） a method （ D） an explanation 55 It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much int

25、erest he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount. One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to w

26、onder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something. He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, t

27、he artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer. 56 It is mentioned in the passage that one has to pay tax according to_. （ A） how much edu

28、cation one has received （ B） whether one is single or married （ C） how old one s children are （ D） where one lives 57 The word “proper“ in the first line of the second paragraph means_. （ A） small （ B） big （ C） right （ D） wrong 58 After a lot of work,the artist thought that he had paid the governmen

29、t_. （ A） less tax than he should have （ B） more tax than he should have （ C） as much tax as usual （ D） just enough tax 59 Why did the tax-collector send a letter to the artist? （ A） To send him a new tax form. （ B） To return the money over-paid. （ C） To remind him of paying the tax. （ D） To explain

30、the rules of tax-paying. 59 Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldnt agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships. When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who

31、 comes up to me and says, “ Suze, you are so wrong. Money isnt the key to lifethis is!“ At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family. Thats when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks li

32、ke a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college? As their answers are “yes“ , I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. Thats when they understand that I had it right. I totally agree that family and fri

33、ends are of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, theres no chance of ever being truly happy. Thats why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words:“ People first. Then money. Then things. “ How we deal with the money we have also plays into our

34、 happiness. Over the past few decades (十年 ), the percentage of Americans who say theyre happy hasnt changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but were not much happier on average. A paradox(悖论 ) ? Far from it. My sense is that while were making more

35、money, we arent making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry a-bout saving for retirement (退休 ) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as man-y of you know, its really hard to increase your happiness when youve got a lot of money worri

36、es. Do you agree, or am I way off base? Id love to know what do you think about the money/ happiness connection. 60 Why do people often show the author their family photos? （ A） They hope to show money is very important. （ B） They want to prove they can afford a holiday. （ C） They think a good famil

37、y makes them truly happy. （ D） They believe a happy person considers people first. 61 Why did the authur ask the group questions in Paragraph 3? （ A） To persuade them to save for the future. （ B） To ask for advice on holidays abroad. （ C） To know more about each person. （ D） To show them what he mea

38、nt. 62 Which of the following arguments does the author want to make? （ A） Money is all that matters in our life. （ B） The richer we are, the happier well be. （ C） Money makes a difference to the quality of our lives. （ D） True happiness is achievable from good relationships. 63 What does the underl

39、ined words “off base“ in the last paragraph most probably mean? （ A） mistaken （ B） unprepared （ C） unnecessary （ D） misunderstood 63 Different countries have different cultures. A same gesture may have distinct meanings in different countries. For instance, in Africa, people knock at the table with

40、their fingers to call waiters which is considered as impolite in China. In western countries, if you make a circle with your thumb and the index finger (食指 ), and then raise the other three fingers, you are suggesting “OK“. The same gesture, however, means “money“ in Japan while makes Brazilian peop

41、le feel insulted (受侮辱的 ). With that in mind, youd better learn about their custom before travelling to foreign countries. Greeting is an important part of communication between people. When greeting someone, Americans tend to hold out their hands and look directly into his/her eyes and then smile. H

42、owever, sometimes such behavior might bring nothing but misunderstanding in other countries. A handshake might not be accepted and looking others right in the eye can have different meanings. Asian people regard physical contact as embarrassing; therefore, they do not shake hands. They have their ow

43、n ways of greeting people. For Japanese, a slight bow of the head is enough. In Korea, women do not shake hands or hug with people; while men might shake hands accompanied by nodding the head once. In western Asia, Muslims do not make body contacts with women yet hug is generally accepted among men.

44、 Same thing happens on eye contact. In many countries, people avoid direct eye contact to show respect. This can cause misunderstanding, too. In fact, some Asian students have been regarded as lacking respect for their American teachers exactly because they failed to make eye contacts with their tea

45、chers. Though different cultures seem to have different ways of greeting, smiling is taken as the universal gesture of friendliness. Smiling indicates happiness or agreement (同意 ) and it can also be used to mean “Excuse me“ or “Please“. So when you are not sure what to do, just smile. 64 When two Ja

46、panese men meet, they might greet each other by _. （ A） shaking each other （ B） hugging each other （ C） kissing each other on both cheeks （ D） bowing their heads 65 If an American makes an “OK“ gesture to a Japanese, then the Japanese probably think that _. （ A） they have agreed on something （ B） th

47、e American feels happy （ C） the American insults him （ D） the American wants money 66 What will be regarded as impolite? （ A） Make a direct eye contact with an American （ B） Try to hug a Muslim woman （ C） Bow to a Japanese when you first meet （ D） Smile to a French in order to show that you are happ

48、y 67 Whats the best title for this passage? （ A） Never shake hands with Asian people （ B） Different culture, different custom （ C） Smile as much as you can （ D） People behave rudely in foreign countries 67 Different countries have different cultures. A same gesture may have distinct meanings in diff

49、erent countries. For instance, in Africa, people knock at the table with their fingers to call waiters which is considered as impolite in China. In western countries, if you make a circle with your thumb and the index finger (食指 ), and then raise the other three fingers, you are suggesting “OK“. The same gesture, however, means “money“ in Japan while makes Brazilian people feel insulted (受侮辱的 ). With that in mind, youd better learn about their
