Money is a blessing when it is used rightly.The same is true of all other good things.They bless if used well; they curse when abused. Many people do not seem to know what money is for.They want it above all things.But they want it to spend chiefly on themselves. Some boys appear to think that money is to buy good clothes and foods, toys and amusements.Some also seem to think that money is to buy leisure with.They consider that the highest happiness is to live without work.But that is not at all what money is for.We should get nearer the truth than that. Its value is in its use.A million gold dollars would have been worth no more than a million stones to Robinson Crusoe on his island home.There was nothing to buy, and therefore, no use for money.That is not what money is for. The Bible says “the love of money is the root of all evil”. That is, money sought for its own sake is the cause of all sorts of evil—lying, stealing, cheating, robbery, and even murder.This is the best reason for avoiding the love of money. 词汇积累 1.blessing / blesI / n.幸事;祝福 2.curse /k s/ v.诅咒n.咒语;骂人话;祸根 3.abuse / bju s/ n.& / bju z/ v.虐待;滥用 4.amusement / mju zm nt/ n.娱乐活动,消遣活动 5.robbery / r b ri/ n.抢劫 6.for one’s own sake为了某人自己 佳句背诵 1.They bless if used well; they curse when abused.(省略;谚语) 正当使用会带来好处,滥用会带来厄运。 2.The Bible says“the love of money is the root of all evil”.(谚语) 《圣经》上说:“对金钱的喜爱是万恶之源”。 Period Ⅰ Listening and Speaking & Listening and Talking 语 调 语调指英语口语中的音高模式,语调的变化代表着说话人的不同态度,有时还有隐含义,因此掌握英语口语的语调变化,能够让你的口语更加具有感彩,使得口语更有表现力。本书第二单元已讲了升调的用法,本单元主要讲降调及其他组合语调的用法。 1.降调:表示肯定、决断、坚决,但有时也含有生硬、不容置疑的意味,常用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、祈使句、感叹句和并列句中并列连词前后的两个分句(如果前后两个句子成分同等重要,或两个句子成分联系不紧密时)。 (1)用于陈述句,如: I have already read that book.
