The world is filled with smart, talented and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago, my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed within just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is that only great talent is not enough．
I am often shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year．A business consultant (顾问) who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle with money．It was this business consultant that gave me the phase, “They are one skill away from great wealth”.
There is an old saying that goes，“Job means ‘just over broke(破产）’”．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial(财务的）intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn．
When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems．The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．
1.How did the mechanic find the problem in the car?
A．by listening to the engine
B．by listening to what the author said
C．by pulling it to the garage
D．by driving it
2.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A．They have no talents．
B．They have no good skills．
C．They don’t work enough．
D．They don’t have financial intelligence．
3.The success of McDonald's lies in its ．
A．skills at making hamburgers
B．excellent service
C．talented workers
D．good business systems
4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The world lacks smart, talented and gifted people.
B．The world lacks skilled workers.
C．The world lacks people like McDonald’s.
D．The world lacks excellent doctors and dentists.
Don’t talk to me; I’m busy with my iPhone Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness—people are just too busy to bother looking．
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(乘车上下班的人)．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000—yes, that’s 40,000—“apps”（programs downloaded for the iPhone）have been designed．Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-killers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks(坦克)．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen.
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film．The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work．With all this entertainments, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.

Patricia was worried．She had a job interview, and she wanted to look good．She decided to get some new clothes．The store owner, Pallas Hansen, helped Patricia find a suit．But when she left the store, she didn’t pay for the suit!
How could Patricia do this? She was in a special store called Career Closet in San Jose, California．Pallas Hansen and Charlotte Krumwiede started this nonprofit store to help women．They knew that many women don’t find jobs because they don’t have the right clothes for a job interview．Women who don’t have a lot of money have to use their money to buy food and clothes for their children．They can’t buy clothes for themselves.

Career Closet has helped 2,500 San Jose women, but clothes aren’t the only things women get at the store．They also get confidence．Patricia is 36 years old．Her husband was hurt in an accident, and Patricia needed a job to support her seven children．She went to Career Closet and got a jacket, a skirt, and a blouse．“The whole day made me feel special,” she said．Patricia was a success at her interview, and she got the job．One reason why she got it was that she was wearing the right clothes for the workplace.

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的作文。
A young man was slapped in the face until he bled because he didn’t offer his seat to a woman with a baby on a bus in downtown Hangzhou．Later he was proved to be a disabled person.
In a series of cases nationwide, we see people being beaten for refusing to give up their seats on public transport, which seems to be a moral problem about correct behavior and self-sacrifice.
People without morals (who don’t give up their seats to deserving people) can be condemned, but they don’t deserve to be treated with violence because they offend moral values and not laws．In comparison, the attackers behave worse.
The attackers regard relying on violence as their only choice if people ignore their appeals to give up their seats．It seems they start a shout or a fight for the sake of justice, but can they still think of their personal intention when they call violent justice?
This “violent justice” can confuse many people and encourage them to do the same, especially when we are overpowered by illogical mood.
If cruel and rude acts are rooted in children’s hearts, society will never step into civilization．The practice violates common values, neither solving problems nor safeguarding civilized society.
