Write down your own opinions. Click Here For Reference Answer Back 学林出版社 Next 6. Expressing opinions on spending 66 People like ants lead a traditional life. They put most of their income into the bank. However, they can’t enjoy life when they’re young and healthy. To some extent, I am in favor of the cricket’s way of spending. We can borrow money from the bank to invest in the stock market. And with the sound social welfare system, we can also get money when we are old. I don’t agree with the snail’s lifestyle. It is a waste of energy and money. Luxury things are not life necessities. Back 学林出版社 Next 7. Read me! 67 Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question. Not For Naught Surely it’s impossible to remember each and every person who has ever lived. But that’s what most of us want. We want to be remembered. We want our memory, our principles and values, and our legacy to live on long after we have passed on. The trouble is very few of us know how to do that. To be sure, the wealthy can have hospital wings and concert halls named in their honor. Those of more ordinary means might start a charitable (慈善的) walk or a book drive in memory of loved ones. Others might simply create scrapbooks (剪贴本) . Back 学林出版社 Next 7. Read me! 68 In recent years, The Ultimate Gift is perhaps the most memorable book. In the book, the author, Jim Stovall, tells the story of Red Stevens, a self-made man who died and left behind a most unusual will and legacy. In the book, one of Red’s heirs (继承 人), great-nephew Jason, has to pass a series of tests to get his share of Red’s estate (地产). But those tests are less about getting part of Red’s fortune and more about getting a different sort of gift, Red’s values and life lessons. In short, Jason gets Red’s views on work, learning, money, friends, dreams, giving and gratitude (感恩 ). By the end of the book, we are certain Red’s legacy will live on. Back 学林出版社 Next 7. Read me! 69 “We can do harm to our children and grandchildren if we give them the fruits of our lifelong work without the lessons we have learned along the way,” Stovall wrote. “Money can be either good or bad but it creates responsibility for those that hold it. If we give our children the money without the responsibility along with it, we are giving them a loaded (装上子弹的) gun without instruction in how to handle it safely. The teaching should be a lifelong process, not just some paperwork that accompanies the last will and testament (遗嘱).” Back 学林出版社 Next 7.
