Question

Is money everything? At present some people think that         is everything. Some of them even         their lives for it. Money has its most useful          on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more        .

If money was        , all millionaires would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life.        , this is not always true. Nothing else is more         than the three words “I love you”. But can         be bought？I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are         the most valuable things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.

    Of all the longest living people in the world,          of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought        . Many other things         be bought with money: knowledge, life and happiness and so on. Just think, if a person         these things at all, is the money still useful? No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough         you a happy person if you have no one to laugh      , no one to cry for. Now, do you think money is everything?
