Money is a good servant and a bad master.(金钱是善仆，也是恶主。) —Francis Bacon(弗朗西斯·培根) 单元话题导入 [品读话题短文] The value of money Money is a blessing① when it is used rightly.The same is true of all other good things.They bless if used well; they curse when abused②.Many people do not seem to know what money is for.They want it above all things.But they want it to spend chiefly③ on themselves. Some boys appear to think that money is to buy good clothes and foods，toys and amusements.Some also seem to think that money is to buy leisure with.They consider that the highest happiness is to live without work.But that is not at all what money is for.We should get nearer the truth than that. Money is our circulating medium④ in trade.Families need it to buy things they must have.In this way society exists，and the world of traffic prospers.Money means food，clothing，dwelling，schools，books，wise recreation⑤，and the means of doing good. Of course money is not something to hoard.Its value is in its use.And so money that is simply hoarded is of no value.It does not purchase the necessaries of life，nor relieve those who are in want⑥，that is not what money is for. Some people says that “the love of money is the root of all evil”．That is，money sought for its own sake⑦ is the cause of all sorts of evil—lying，stealing，cheating，robbery，and even murder.This is the best reason for avoiding the love of money.
