Cognac. Cognac is a type of brandy made from distilled white wine. In fact, the word “brandy” comes from a Dutch word which means burnt wine.

28、Despite earning more than $100, 000 in household income, many people feel that they are living month to month and that sudden medical emergency could easily move them from the upper middle class to low-income earners. This feeling, despite these levels of income, seems a bit unbelievable. Let’s take a deeper look at the phenomenon.
Even in today’s tough economy, for those with six-figure incomes credit is easy to come by. Credit companies may have cut back offerings to those in lower income brackets due to the recent credit reforms, but there seems to be little or no effect on high income earners. Their being able to get credit without difficulty gives them a false sense of security that makes them spend way more than their incomes can afford. That’s why they are in credit card debt faster than average.
Some higher income professionals feel like they are making lots of money now, and believe that they will continue to make big money. This may reduce their feeling that they need to watch their money carefully now. Hand in hand with that, many of them probably believe that they are making more money than they really are — or said another way, the money they make will go farther than it really does.
Meanwhile, many young professionals who are earning good incomes don’t come from particularly advantaged backgrounds, and their reference point may be that they are making twice (or more) than their parents were — so they spend like that as well. They don’t take account of the effect of inflation, which means that the cost of living is much higher than that in their parents’ generation. Further, the more you earn, the more you pay in tax. Rather than focusing on after-tax incomes, many high-income earners only look at the top line figures. A $100, 000 income before tax is only about $70,000 after tax.
【1】What is the first paragraph intended to?
A.Introduce the understanding of high income.
B.Confirm a strange phenomenon.
C.Stress the inconvenience brought by illnesses.
D.Lead to the topic of feeling poor.
【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.Lack of real security.
B.Easy access to credit.
C.The successful credit reforms
D.Their advantaged backgrounds.
【3】Why do some professionals spend beyond their income?
A.Their money goes farther than it really does.
B.They fail to make more money like before.
C.They misunderstand their incomes.
D.They are often in credit card debt.
【4】What does the author intend to remind young professionals about in the end?
A.They should work harder to pay more taxes.
B.They need to turn to their parents for help.
C.They should keep their mind when faced with poverty.
D.They need to look at the present rather than look back.
29、It was the middle of winter some 30 years ago. I was a young father with three little children counting on me. I worked in a sawmill (锯木厂).
As I got ready to go to work I wrapped band aids around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and piling up wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split (裂开) and bleed at their tips in the cold, dry winter air.
That day at work was harder than normal. We were short-handed on workers. The machines kept breaking down. We had to rush to catch up as the wood piled up. On top of that, all the heaters in the building had stopped working and we could see our breath as we spent hours working there.
When the work day finally ended, I walked wearily toward the washroom, took off my work gloves, and checked my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and I had bled through the band - aids again. I felt so tired. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.
After driving home, I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened the front door. But instead, one appeared naturally. My daughter ran up to me, yelled “Daddy!” and wrapped her little arms around my neck. I lifted her up and my heart filled with love. My tired body didn’t feel so tired anymore. My aches and pains disappeared into her hug, And the joy in my heart chased the sadness away. At that moment I kissed my little girl’s cheek and held her tight. I knew I could continue and that things would get better.

So far, he’s been _________ of his own room. He’s been boss of the back yard. I have always been around to repair his wounds, and to _________ his feelings.

Teach him that for every scoundrel (恶人) there is a _________; that for every dishonest politician, there is a _________ leader; that for every enemy there is a friend. Teach him the wonders of books. Give him quiet time to __________ the mysteries of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hills. Teach him it is far more honorable to __________ than to cheat. Teach him to have __________ in his own ideas, even if everyone else tells him they are wrong. Teach him to __________ his strength and brains to the highest bidder (投标人), but never to put a price on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears to a __________ crowd, and to stand and __________ if he believes he’s right. Teach him kindly, World, but don’t spoil him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.
This is a big order, World, but see what you can do. He is such a nice little fellow.
Yours,
Sally
