　　Investing in yourself

　　Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.

　　__1__ Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.

　　You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. __2__ There are some other things you can do such as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.

　　So what are some specific things you can do? __3__ It can really expand your mind, allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I'm talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books. You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. __4__ Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation. Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn't 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation (通货膨胀) is taken into consideration. __5__ But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

　　A. This is just one way.

　　B. The benefits will stay with you.

　　C. If you aren't a reader, you'd better set about reading books right now.

　　D. The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.

　　E. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.

　　F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.

　　G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.

　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　本文是议论文。文章主要讲的是怎样对自己进行投资以及投资自己的益处。

　　1．F　后面谈到了知识、技能和健康等方面的投资，这些都是投资自己的表现，故F项符合语境。

　　2．A　教育投资只是一个方面，后一句也谈到了其他方面的投资，故选A。

　　3．C　后面主要谈了读书的意义，因此这应该是对不读书的人提的建议，故选C。

　　4．E　根据后一句“Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation”可知，投资前需要做些研究，故选E。

　　5．G　后文说“但随着时间的推移，你的成功层次还有幸福层次会显现出来”，由此可知，对自己的投资是一个长期投资，可能不会立刻见效，故选G。

　　三、语法填空

　　(2016·云南玉溪一中期末)

　　Valentine's Day is the time of the year when couples show their love for each other by sending cards, flowers and chocolates. Its origins are __1__ (clear) and hidden in the river of time.

　　Technological __9__ (develop) has also played a part __10__ keeping Valentine's Day relevant(有意义的) in the 21st century. Valentine's e­cards have been very popular in recent years.

　　答案与解析　

　　语篇解读　本文主要讲述了有关情人节的一些情况。

　　1．unclear　考查词形转换。根据空后的“hidden”可知，此处表示“它的起源并不清楚”。故应填unclear。

　　2．who　考查宾语从句。所填词在此引导宾语从句，在从句中作表语，表示“谁”，故应用who。

　　3．a　考查冠词。此处指“一个被罗马皇帝杀害的人”，表示泛指，且Roman以辅音音素开头，故填不定冠词a。

　　4．recorded　考查非谓语动词。record与card之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所填词表示“被记录的，被记载的”，故用过去分词作定语表示被动、完成。

　　5．It　考查替代词。此处应用“It”作形式主语。

　　6．is celebrated　考查时态和语态。Valentine's Day与celebrate之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，再结合now可知，应用一般现在时，故应填is celebrated。

　　7．for　考查固定句型。“It＋be＋形容词＋for sb.to do sth.”为固定句型，故本空填for。

　　8．while　考查连词。结合语境可知，此处表示对比关系，且所填词连接两个并列分句，故填while。

　　9．development　考查词类转换。所填词作主语，且被形容词修饰，故用名词development。

　　10．in　考查固定搭配。play a part in表示“在……中起作用”，是固定短语。

　　What I Consider Important in Life

　　There_is_no_doubt_that_different_people_have_different_goals_in_their_life,_and_they_may_have_various_answers_to_this_question. My opinion is that the most important thing in my life is health.

　　First of all, life is short for everyone. Without good health, we won't have enough time to accomplish what we plan to do. We are entering a new century, blessed with new opportunities and faced with challenges. Without a healthy body, how can we catch up with the rapidly changing world? Meanwhile, when we have got wealth and fame but without a healthy body, we will suffer from pains caused by certain illnesses all day long. So wealth means nothing in this case. Beyond any doubt, health is more important than wealth.

　　To conclude, I personally believe a healthy life is the source of happiness. So let's join hands to make our life halthier, both in body and mind.
