C You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time．Then the telephone rings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．Yon are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible! Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time． Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect． When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you．you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down． Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible． Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to a negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that． Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着)you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible． 49．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ． A．make a comparison B．offer an evidence C．introduce a topic D．describe a daily scene 50．How can negative people have effect on us? A．By influencing our emotion． B．By telling US the nature of life． C．By changing our way of thinking． D．By comparing their attitude to life with ours． 51．Some negative people base their happiness on ． A．other people’s pity for themB．making other people unhappy C．building up a positive attitudeD．other people’s respect for them 52．According to the passage， to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised ． A． to change negative people’s attitude to life B． to show our dissatisfaction to negative people C． to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves D． to communicate with negative people as little as possible D A week ago, I had the great pleasure of reading an e-book, When Money Talks, Listen! by Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read. When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick-type of publication. Nothing is wrong with Getting Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth．I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse. When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen! I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry for things far more important than money. Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review（书评）？ Simple. I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install (安装) a stop light to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yield(使让路) them as a few new ones arrived in town. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is. It has been a week and the effect is the same. I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week. This is an e-book you’ll want to read, I promise. I often recommend books to my daughters, and this is one that I didn’t just “suggest” — I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, “Read it, you’ll love it.” I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn’t go myself. I urge you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it. 53. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To strongly recommend an e-book. B.
