A week ago, I had the great pleasure of reading an e-book, When Money Talks, Listen! by Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read. 

When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick-type of publication. Nothing is wrong with Getting Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn't chase after dreams of wealth. I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.

When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen! I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry for things far more important than money.

Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review (書評(píng))? Simple. I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that 1 had to install (安裝) a stop light to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yield (使讓路) them as a few new ones arrived in town. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is.

It has been a week and the effect is the same. I truly do look at money different and have even done a few things differently this week. This is an e-book you'll want to read, I promise. I often recommend boos to my daughters, and this is one that I didn't just "suggest" – I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, "Read it you'll love it."

I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn't go myself. I urge you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it.

72. What's the purpose of this passage?

A. To strongly recommend an e-book.              B. To show the author’s attitude towards money.

C. To introduce the general idea of an e-book.    D. To point out Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry.

73. The author didn't write the review as soon as he finished reading tile book because ________.

A. he was too excited to write anything

B. he was not sure whether he liked the book

C. he had to wait for Rich Ezzo's permission

D. he wondered if the book would influence him

74. By saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4, the author probably ________.

A. shows that the book brought him many new thoughts

B. shows how bad the traffic is in town

C. describes the difficulty in understanding the book

D. explains it's hard to change one ' s attitude to money

75. Which of the following is supported by the passage?

A. The author has known Rich Ezzo before.

B. The author hasn't dreamed of getting rich immediately.

C. The author always prefers e-books to paper books.

D. The author likes Get Rich Quick-type of publications.

To all of you at Chinese love links.
I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.
I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.
Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicate via e-mails 2-3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.
I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Yun and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and bring her to the USA under the finance visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.
So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur
【小題1】We can infer from the letter that Chinese love links is a website to ____________.

A．help foreigners to travel in China
B．help both Chinese and foreigners to find one they want to marry
C．help Chinese and foreigners make friends
D．receive letters from the USA
【小題2】 Which of the following is true about Arthur’s story?
A．He was sure of finding a Chinese woman as his wife at first.
B．He was determined to find a Chinese woman as his wife.
C．He almost lost hope in finding a perfect wife until he found Yun.
D．No women wrote to him before Yun.
【小題3】 Yun stood out from the rest because ________.
A．she was a Chinese.
B．she had much in common with Arthur
C．other women stopped writing to Arthur
D．she was cute and nice and often phoned to Arthur
【小題4】Arthur thinks _________ is the most important in finding someone one wants to marry .
A．being honest with the partner and oneselfB．help from the website
C．difference in languages and placesD．difference in cultures
