Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy – five, he gave $ 60,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s ground.

As a result of his kindness, he became famous. Many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,” he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.

The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

21. Johnson became a rich man through _______.

A. doing business B. making whisky C. cheating D. buying and selling land

22. The gift of money to the school suggests that Johnson _______.

A. had many children in the school B. was a strange old man

C. was very fond of children D. was very kind

23. Many people wrote to Johnson to find out _______.

A. what kind of whisky he had B. how to live longer

C. how to become wealthy D. in which part of the neck to have an injection

A. he liked drinking a glass of whisky in the evening

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 Get Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn’t run 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 more important than money.

Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review? 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 (副标题) 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 stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yielded (让路) them as a few 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 daughter, 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 strongly advise you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it.

25. The author wrote this passage to _________.

A. strongly recommend an e-book

B. show the author’s attitude to money

C. introduce the general idea of an e-book

D. point out Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry

26. According to the passage, a Get Rich Quick type of publication _________.

A. is more popular than e-books

B. deals with how to make money

C. is what the author really cares for

D. is also an e-book written by Rich Ezzo

27. Why didn’t the author write the review as soon as he finished reading the book?

A. Because he was not sure whether he did well.

B. Because he was too excited to write anything.

C. Because he had to wait for Rich Ezzo’s permission.

D. Because he wondered if it would have a long influence on him.
