I couldn’t agree more that this film is well worth___________（see) many times.

y is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldnt agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships. When I talk about money this way to a group，there is always someone who comes up to me and says，“Suze，you are so wrong．Money isn’t the key to life一this is!”At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family． That’s when things get interesting，because I start asking them questions：Did you take that photo with your own camera？ It looks like a beautiful beach，was the photo taken on a family vacation？ Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college？ As their answers are “yes”，I ask them how they provide all of that for their family．That’s when they understand that I had it right． I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being；without meaningful relationships，there’s no chance of ever being truly happy．That’s why，every Saturday night，I end my CNBC show with the following words：“People first．Then money．Then things．” How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness．Over the past few decades(十年)，the percentage of Americans who say they’re happy hasn’t changed much．while at the same time the average income has doubled．So we have more money，but we’re not much happieron average． A paradox(悖论)？Far from it．My sense is that while we’re making more money。we arent’t making more of the money we make．We have to pay for a lot of things，and we have to worry a．bout saving for retirement(退休)in a way that our parents and grandparents never did．And as many of you know，it’s really hard to increase your happiness when you’ve got a lot of money worries．Do you agree，or am l way 0ff base？ Id love to know what do you think about the money／happiness connection． Why do people often show the author their family photos？

A.They hope to show money is very important．

B.They want to prove they can afford a holiday．

C.They think a good family makes them truly happy．

D.They believe a happy person considers people first．

dont argue against taxes. They just argue about how taxes should be collected. At present the federal government works with a "progressive tax". The tax covers a percentage of peoples wages. Not everyone pays the same percentage of his salary in taxes. Taxpayers fall into different "tax brackets" depending on their income. Poor people are in a low tax bracket. They pay the smallest percentage of income in taxes. Middle income workers pay a larger percentage than the poor. And the rich fall into the high tax brackets. Few rich people like the progressive tax. The government took a poll. Among other people, the government talked to Ray Mathers and Eve Winick. "Lets change to a flat rate tax," says Ray Mather. "Everyone should be taxed the same percentage. Its fair. And its easy to figure out. " Mathers is president of Trig Computer Company. He makes over $ 80 000 a year. "I dont want a flat rate income tax," says Eve Winick. Winick is a grammar school teacher. Her school is in a poor neighborhood. She makes $ 14 000 a year. "I dont care if its easier to figure out. What I want to know is, would I pay less tax？" Winick worries about her students parents. "Some of them can hardly support themselves. Why should they pay heavier taxes？ Theyre the people who need government services. " Mathers thinks a flat rate would help in the long run. "The country could lower taxes after a while. See, if I paid fewer taxes, Id save money. Id put that money into my business and hire more people. Those people could pay taxes. Everybody would be better off. " Questions:

According to the progressive tax, who should pay the highest percentage of their income in taxes？

A．The rich.

B．The poor.

C．The middle class.

D．The lower class.

g it like it is," or "letting it all hang out" My impression is that this overzealous devotion to speaking ones mind has more often led to hurt feelings and ruined relationships than to great joy and fulfillment. I think we generally agree that never expressing real feelings and repressing all less-than-lovely thoughts about each other【C2】______leads to constructive communication. Its a great relief to allow ourselves the luxury of acknowledging our human frailties and pursuing more honest relationships with others. But we need to strike a【C3】______between telling it all and telling nothing. Recently I received a letter from a mother who had been persuaded by her troubled twenty-five-year-old son to attend a weekend marathon with him. Under pressure from the group,her defenses collapsed and she heard herself telling her son for the first time that he had been an accident-that she hadnt been planning to have a child. He in【C4】______told her that he couldnt recall a single day in his childhood that he d been happy. "At that time," this woman wrote,"it seemed helpful. We cried and we made【C5】______; I thought telling the truth had been good for us. But the trouble is.it wasnt the whole truth. By the time Tommy was born I did want him,and at【C6】______he was happy. Ever since that day,weve both been haunted by some terrible feelings we shared. " I must admit that Ive come to the conclusion that some things are better left unsaid. Honesty is a fine policy as【C7】______as we know what the truth really is-but most of the time we dont Its a fine goal to encourage children to express their real feelings. And many marriages have been saved by an open confrontation of deep and painful misunderstandings. But we need a new sense of balance. Disclosure is not a panacea for every problem【C8】______even an end in itself. Its useful and freeing under some circumstances and terribly hurtful and damaging under others. Its a good idea,I think,to【C9】______your tongue for ten or fifteen minutes before saying whats【C10】______your mind. Try to decide whether its going to open up new and better avenues of communication or leave wounds that may never heal.
