But you will 47 him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings 48 to the friendship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly 49 the friendship if he doesn’t.
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it 50 very important. The author interviewed some millionaires for 51 . Question: What is 52 thing you have discovered about being rich, because you are a self-made man? Answer: What makes me surprised most is how people give me 53 . I am nothing. I don’t know much. All I 54 money
People just 55 making more and more money, but what is it 56 ? How much do I need for a given purpose in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back 57 that money is an instrument 58 the end． 59 plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be 60 the meaning of life.

My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the 36 of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then 37 the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on 38 his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he 39 belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be 40 , I didn’t think much of it, but I had 41 to warn my neighbors of the drawings 42 appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the 43 to do so, because I was a little busy recently.
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I 44 Mary, my elderly neighbor, 45 at her mail box. She said, “Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” I was at once 46 , “Oh yes, Mary, it is. I’m sorry. I meant to tell you…” She cut me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve 47 every item he has sent. You don’t know how much 48 the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our 49 , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days, 50 she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small 51 of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought 52 to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should 53 this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most 54 make their day.
It’s doing the little, simple things that can often make a big 55 in someone’s life.

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學年重慶市“名校聯(lián)盟”高二第一次聯(lián)考英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解
China has become Volvo's third largest market, with more of its car models to go on sale in the world's largest auto（汽車） market this year, Chief Executive Office (CEO) of Volvo Cars China said in Tianjin.
Alexander Klose, CEO of Volvo Cars China, told Xinhua at the Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show, being held from Friday to Wednesday.
Klose said Volvo Cars had entered a new time of fast development, adding that its sales volume in China roared in 2010.
Up to the end of September, Volvo's global sales volume was up 12.5 percent year on year（同年比）, compared with 52 percent year-on-year rise in China, he said.
Two new Volvo sales centers opened in Beijing within merely one week in early October, about two months after east China's ZhejiangGeely Holding Group Co acquired（購得）the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for $1.5 billion in early August.
Klose said he was confident of seeing tremendous(巨大的) growth in China's auto market in the next five years. "As the Chinese government has increased the tax rate for large displacement （排量）cars already, we now have a lot of cars below three liters（升）, and I think we'll stick to that strategy, as you can see now the XC60 which was introduced today is just two liters," he said.
"As the technology advances, we'll probably even see 1.6 liter engines or 1.5 liter engines in the future," he added.
Volvo Cars is not the only automaker hoping to take advantage of China's rapidly growing auto market.
Bentley, the famous British luxury（豪華） carmaker, will open a new sales center in China at Tianjin Thursday, which is the 11th one in China, according to a press release（新聞發(fā)布） by Shanghai-based Zenith Integrated Communications Corp (Zenith) Saturday at the auto show.
Zenth is the public relations agent of Bentley in China. The automaker has sold 421 limousines（大型豪華轎車） to China in 2009, and the goal for 2010 is 777, the release said.
【小題1】The word underlined in the third paragraph would probably be___.
| A．shouted loudly | B．increased in large numbers |
| C．reduced rapidly | D．burned brightly |
| A．The Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show was held from Friday to Wednesday. |
| B．Volvo Cars is a world-famous carmaker in Britain. |
| C．Of all the auto sales volume Volvo sales volume is only number one in China |
| D．Volvo sales centers are developing very fast in China recently |
| A．China Becomes Volvo's 3rd largest market |
| B．Volvo Cars in China |
| C．Volvo Sales Volume in China |
| D．Carmakers in China |
| A．One | B．Two | C．Three | D．Four |
