    From Ponzi to Madoff

    The year was 1920.The country was the United States of America. The man's name was Charles Ponzi.
    Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead,they should give it to him to save
    for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example,a savings account might pay you$5
    a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi,however,would pay you $40 a year for every $ 100 you gave
    him to hold.Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.
    How could Ponzi make so much money for people?This is what he did with the money people gave him:
    He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However,he also kept a lot of the
    money for himself. Soon he had $ 250 million.This was a kind of theft,and it was against the law. The
    people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month,just like a
    bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day,he didn'thave enough money to pay
    all the people.They discovered his crime,and he went to prison for fraud.
    Ninety years later,people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff.
    People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money,he paid them a lot
    more than the bank.Madoff helped hospitals,schools,and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40
    years,people gave him$170 billion.However,no one investigated what he did with the money.The people
    who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.
    One day,Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That's when people
    discovered how Madoff worked:He was taking money from some people to pay other people,just the way
    Charles Fonzi did.However,this time,instead of losing millions of dollars,people lost billions.
    Madoff was accused of fraud,and the United States government officials arrested him.He didn't have to
    go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison.Bernard
    Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi'5.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is
    clear:When something seems too good to be true,it probably is!

    What did Ponzi do with the money people gave him?
    A:He spent it all on things for himself.
    B:He used some of it to pay other people.
    C:He deposited it all in a bank.
    D:He kept it all to save for a good plan.

    Personal Finance When it comes to our finances, each of us has our own individual approach. Some of us are savers, some are spenders, and others are some-where in between. This continuum is a paradigm that our popular culture uses to frame differences in the way people approach money. I believe that the way we approach our finances goes beyond that particular behavioral characteristic. In reality, I think our approach to finances can be viewed in more of a multi-dimensional setting, where money has a different role in our lives. For some, money means survival, plain and simple. For others, money is something that is a part of their lives but rarely on their mind, regardless of the role it actually plays. For yet others, money is an obsession, as accumulation indicates achievement. Some people view money as a defensive resource to protect against future setbacks. Some people want money to provide a good home, to contribute to the ability to have certain hobbies, or to provide something to future generations and so on. Sometimes the same person may view money differently in different situations. The bottom line is that we each have our own relationship with money, and our own conscious and subconscious needs for money, rooted in our value systems. This is an area of personal finance that has interested me for a while. Why do people behave the way they do with respect to their money? What's driving this behavior? Of course, a starting point for anybody is to consider how you personally view things. Taking an introspective approach,I have spent time figuring out my own take on money,and the role it plays in my life. What I have determined is that for me,it fits into a framework that includes the following elements:health, wealth, and relationships. These are linked together as a part of a system. They're all connected, and to the extent one is strengthened, the others will be strengthened as well. If one is weakened, the others will be weakened as well. So to me, money is a part of the wealth aspect of HWR. Beyond basic survival, money gives you the opportunity to live a healthier life, with the time and means to have more positive relationships. One thing I want to make clear is that I am not saying that money buys friends. Well, it could, but those aren't true friends. What I am saying is that the more money you have ,on balance, the less stressed you are about it, and the more time you have to do other things, such as cultivate true, genuine relationships that aren’t based on money. Money is but a component in the system. Money is only a part of the HWR system.( )

    Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different. Write a composition of about 400 words to state your view on the issue.

    正确答案:
    Satisfaction is only a temporary feeling of being content, for human desire, stimulated by both physical and mental needs, connects with changes in our world, our society and ourselves. It is true that people are never satisfied with what they have in the long run and they always want something more or something different. This unsatisfactory perception, together with the desire for something more or different, exists perpetually for three major reasons.
    First of all, the continuous emergence of new products constantly motivates people's desire to get things new and different for better. For example, people replace their computers with new ones that are quicker in speed and more in functions long before their machines get worn-out. This happens as a result of the rapid development of science and technology that enables improved computers and softwares to come out into the market at a much faster speed than the speed for a computer to get old. Nobody will not be satisfied with iphone4 when iphone5 appears. People are always longing for something new and better.
    Secondly, people's improvement in financial status invites their dissatisfaction with what they have. A good example of this is the purchase of a newer house on a better location with a nicer view when one has saved enough or when one gets a raise knowing that paying back a mortgage is not a problem. From this perspective, people's dissatisfaction goes along with the development of economy.
    Finally, the vanity to keep up with the neighbors and friends also spark off people's dissatisfaction with what they have. A car is originally meant to be a means of transportation. However, there are people who trade in their nice cars for a Benz, BMW, Volvo or a Luxury simply because their friends or neighbors drive these makes. When food is no longer a problem, people began to pursue a life of high quality.
    Superficially, people's endless discontents with what they have sounds greedy and unpleasant. But it is, in fact, this discontent of our humans' that pushes our society to continuously create things new and different to meet people's desire.
    解析:
    题目里提到人从不满足,作者在第一段里肯定了这一说法,并在接下来的三段分别进行论证。其中使用了First、Second、Finally等衔接词使文章脉络清晰,此外还用的了逻辑推理和举例法使论据更加丰富。最后一段总结全文。

  • 第13题:

    听力原文: Money means different things to different people. We have all heard or used expressions such as, "How much money do you want for this? How much money do you make?" and "They have a lot of money." It is obvious that money does not mean the same thing in each of these expressions. In the first expression, money refers to a price; in the second, to income; and in the third, to wealth. The confusion arises because money is the standard in terms of which we value all material goods and services. For most of us, both income and wealth are considerably greater than our holdings of money. Income is the net revenue we receive for the sale of our services or of the products of our services. Wealth is the accumulation of past savings of income. Most of us hold only a small part of our wealth in the form. of money.

    24. Which is the best answer to the question "How much money do you want for this?"

    25.What is used as the standard to value all material goods and services?

    26.What may be greater than our holdings of money?

  • 第14题:

    根据下列内容,回答211-215题。
    A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy.Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house,so they have to borrow money from a bank.Borrowing moneyfrom a bank to buy a house is called“take a mortgage”.The bank usually lends money or gives a me.gage for twenty—five years.Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as$50,000.In other words,they will have a$50,000 mortgage.
    How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like.you go to a bank.The bank will research you financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk.They will want to know what kind of job you have,what kind of salary you make and how long you have had the job.
    They will a]so want to know how much money you have.In addition.the banks will require a down payment.Depending Oil which state you live in,the bank may require as much as 30%of the price of the house as a down payment.The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they can not save enough money for the
    down payment.
    What does a house mean in the United States.? __________

    A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize
    B.It is so expensive that many people can not really buy them
    C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy
    D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can not borrow morley from the bank

    解析:
    从第一句“A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy”可知,房子是人们所要购置的最重要的财产。故C项正确。A、B项都提到买房子的不可能性,与文章中的抵押贷款从而购房相悖。D项过于绝对化,并不是所有的人都必须通过银行贷款才买得起房子。

What I have determined is that for me,it fits into a framework that includes the following elements:health, wealth, and relationships. These are linked together as a part of a system. They're all connected, and to the extent one is strengthened, the others will be strengthened as well. If one is weakened, the others will be weakened as well. So to me, money is a part of the wealth aspect of HWR. Beyond basic survival, money gives you the opportunity to live a healthier life, with the time and means to have more positive relationships. One thing I want to make clear is that I am not saying that money buys friends. Well, it could, but those aren't true friends. What I am saying is that the more money you have ,on balance, the less stressed you are about it, and the more time you have to do other things, such as cultivate true, genuine relationships that aren’t based on money. Money is but a component in the system. The approaches to finances vary from person to person.()

    ◆Topic 8: Is education Losing its Value?  Questions for reference:  1. Some people think that this increased access to education is devaluing degrees. What’s your point of view?  2. What can the degrees bring to people?  3. Do you think it’s necessary to have increased emphasis on degrees in our society? Why?

    正确答案: 【参考答案】
    People have several arguments against the need for degrees. They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat race. Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying.
    Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to. learners becoming inflexible. They know a lot about one narrow subject, but are unable to apply their skills. Employers prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.
    However, I feel strongly that this move to having more qualifications is a positive development.
    In the past education was only for the rich and powerful. Now it is available to everyone, and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual. First of all, it is impossible to be overeducated. The more people are educated, the better the world will be, because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas. A further point is that people with degrees have many more opportunities. They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing, instead of being forced to take a job they dislike. Finally, a highly educated workforce is good for the economy of the country. It attracts foreign investment.
    In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.

    解析: 根据结尾处Joaquim Chissano的话I would live better and also help those around me.可知,他将把奖金的一部分自己用,一部分用来帮助别人。
    【录音原文】
      The five million dollar prize financed by the African businessman Mo Ibrahim is designed to encourage better leadership on a continent where until recently dictators were almost the norm. The former leader of Mozambique, Joaquim Chissano, won the award because he steered his country out of civil war and oversaw the introduction of multi-party democracy. Mozambique, which is sandwiched between South Africa and the Indian Ocean, also plays a key role in the downfall of the white supremacist apartheid regime in South Africa. Mr. Chissano wasn’t at the ceremony in London where the prize was announced, but I met him in Mozambique a few weeks ago. When I asked him what he would do with five million dollars, he laughed and said, “I wouldn’t be shy. I would live better and also help those around me. ”

    What mistaken view do most people hold about Arabic?
    A

    Colloquial Arabic is the everyday spoken language, which varies from country to country.

    B

    Arabic is just one language that all Arabs understand, speak and write.

    C

    Classical Arabic and Modem Arabic are two different kinds of written Arabic.

    D

    Pan-Arabic provides a means of communication between educated people of different Arab nationalities.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    录音中提到“It is generally thought that Arabic is a single language, spoken, written and understood by people in countries as widely separated as Iraq, Egypt and Morocco, but this is not so”,意思是:人们普遍认为阿拉伯语是一种语言,广泛地被伊拉克、埃及、摩洛哥等国家的人使用,口语和书面语一样,但事实并非如此。由此可以推断出,大多数人错误的观点是阿拉伯语只是所有阿拉伯国家说、写和理解都使用的一种语言,B项内容符合原文意思。
