26、ncial pages of the newspaper to her rich father.Her father died when Hettywas 30,and she inherited$1 million.When she herself died in 1916,she left almost$100 million to her two children.Hetty made her money on the New York stock exchange.She was a financial genius.She made money so easily that peop
27、le called her the Witch of Wall Street.But althoughshe was one of the richest women in the world,she counted every cent and spentas little as possible.She didnt own a house,because she didnt want to payproperty taxes.So she and her children lived in cheap hotels.She spent almost nothing on clothes,a
28、nd always wore the same long black dress.She washed it herself,but to save soap she only washed the bottom of the dress,where it touched the ground.Other people had their own offices,but Hetty useda desk in the bank where she kept her money,because it didnt cost anything.Shesat in the bank and ate h
29、er sandwiches while she bought and sold stocks and shares.If the bank complained,she just moved all her money to another bank.Hettys family paid the price for her meanness.When she was 33 she marrieda millionaire,Edward Green,and they had two children.But Green lost all his money,so she left him.Whe
30、n her son,Ned,injured his knee,Hetty didnt want to payfor a doctor,so she took him to a free hospital for poor people.Unfortunatelythe doctor knew Hetty was rich and he asked for money.Hetty refused and took theboy away.His leg got worse and two years later doctors removed it.But eventually Ned got
31、his revenge.At the age of 81 Hetty had an argument witha shop assistant about the price of a bottle of milk.She became so angry that shehad a heart attack and died.So Hettys meanness finally killed her.Ned inheritedhalf his mothers fortune,and he spent it all on parties,holidays and expensivejewelle

34、t.D.Curious and lucky.(B)In 2008,a study was conducted in Hong Kong to find out why some people appearedto be better at public speaking.Three hundred people who were employed in jobsthat require an advanced level of public speaking skills were interviewed.Theparticipants included politicians,profess
35、ors and motivational speakers.Theresults of the study showed that 77%of the participants reported having parentsthat encouraged them to ask questions and state their opinions from a young age.Eighty-five percent answered that their parents had repeatedly exposed them toa variety of positive“public s
36、peaking”experiences at home.These experiencesincluded practicing speeches,performing dramas and reciting poems.In another study to determine the causes of fear of public speaking,70%ofthe participants said they had not had any public speaking opportunities at home.Eighteen percent of the participant
37、 s had been given such opportunities,but thesehad resulted in a loss of confidence.One of the participants recalled a painful experience from when he was eightyears old.His parents had arranged for him to present his school project aboutearthquakes to his cousins.As an outgoing boy,he was eager to s
38、how off all hishard work,until he forgot a sentence and started tostutter(结巴).His cousinsbegan to laugh at him,and instead of his family encouraging him to continue withhis presentation,his father told him to call it a day.The stress of this incidentand the feeling of being rejected carried over to
39、school,where he started strugglingwith his words and went red like a sunset every time he had to speak in front ofan audience.From these studies,we can see that the way parents handle their childscommunication efforts and a childs future attitude towards public speaking canbe linked.Not all people a
40、re born afraid of public speaking,but rather they growto be afraid of it due to awful experiences or outside influences.Yet this doesnot mean they have no control over their fear-because they do.41.According to the study of 2008,_ were important in making successful publicspeakers.A.caring professor

44、esert!Its called Ski Dubai and the outside temperatures can rise to more than 40!It sounds crazy,but it just shows how serious people are about having fun.We spend huge sums on sports facilities.We pay our sports stars ridiculous amountsof money.And we spend hour after hour playing games!I wonder if
45、 all the sports-lovers and game-players in the world arent a little crazy.I know I am.Iwas once driving past a football field where some kids were playing.I turned towatch and crashed my car.I know its stupid but I can do nothing about it.Assomeone said,“Football isnt a matter of life and death.Its
46、much more importantthan that!”Of course,it isnt that important really.No game is.But the problem is thatgames areaddictive(使人上瘾的).From the tennis court to the golf course,youll find participants and spectators who cant live without the drug of their choice.It could be a good thing.After all,despite
47、being addictive,its true that sportsand games help us to relax.Maybe if it wasnt for sport,our societies would bemore violent.Perhaps sport is a substitute for war?Its hard to think of a quieter,more peaceful game than chess,and whats the objective?Capturing your opponents king,and surely,its better
48、 to have wars in athletics stadiums rather thanon battlefields.What s more,playing is natural.Kittens chase balls of wool and puppies pretendto fight.Games help us perfect ours kills and prepare us for the serious contestof survival.But do all games help us relax and stay away from violence?What abo
