    Before， I thought that a man who was wise and good would become rich， but now I know this is not always true． I learned it from my teacher． He is both wise and good， but he is not rich at all． He may become rich if he gives up(放弃) teaching and goes into business． But he likes his job and thinks it，s wonderful to help young people． He stays at school from morning till night and works very hard． He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help． He is kinder to us than any other teacher in our school． I think it must be easier to learn history or math than to learn how to become a man like him． He scolds(责备 ) us when we do something wrong，but it makes us try to do better．We all wish to study with him as long as possible． But that may be impossible． Some of us may become doctors， some become businessmen， some be- come engineers， some become writers， but we all want one thing very much． It is that we all want to be teachers in the future．

    参考译文；虽然Bob很有钱，但他却不是那种你能从他那儿借钱的人。此题考查定语从句的用法。先行词在定语从句里做宾语，故用“whom”，“从……借”是“borrow from”，综合两者考虑得出正确答案应该为C。

    The Privileged Children

    Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
    Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
    It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
    "But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
    Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.

    This article is written mainly to tell readers that_________.
    A:the rich are more likely to do away with themselves
    B:money can bring a lot of things,including love
    C:life is always happy for children of rich parents
    D:rich parents should realize what important in the family is love rather than money

    答案：D
    解析：
    从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担，从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游，但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误：文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误：第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀，却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。
    文章第二段最后一句提到财富会给人带来很多益处，但是最重要的家庭生活的质量却往往不是他们能享受的。因此选项C是正确的。选项A、选项B和选项D都不正确。
    选项B、C、D在文章中都提到过，只有选项A不正确。文章没有提过有钱人家和穷人家一样缺少爱。
    silver spoon是一个固定说法，并不真是指银子做的勺子，而是指财富，如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
    文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”，而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的，因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。
