Angela Johnson interviews ex-millionaire Jason Harley
For a lot of people,becoming a millionaire[1] is a symbol①of success and they set this as②their ultimate③goal.They spend half of their time dreaming up④ways of getting rich and achieving the success they expect,and the rest of their time thinking about all the things they will do once they become rich. [2] But do all millionaires get the sense of success⑤they were looking for after they achieve their goals?Some continue to worry about money when they become millionaires—they worked hard to become wealthy⑥,but then they need to continue making money so they don't lose the sense of success they have achieved.However,there are people who have turned their backs on⑦their millions and found other forms of success in their lives.Jason Harley is one example.
[1]becoming a millionaire是动词-ing形式短语作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
[2]half of their time和the rest of their time作spend的并列宾语;dreaming up...作第一个time后省略的in的宾语;thinking about...作第二个time后省略的in的宾语。they expect和they will do都为省略关系词的定语从句,分别修饰先行词success和things。once they become rich为once引导的条件状语从句,once意为“一旦……”。
Sixteen years ago,Jason was a college professor⑧ with a huge six-bedroom house and a fortune⑨ of two million dollars.Today he lives in a small dormitory⑩ room with only second-hand furniture⑪.There are certainly no signs that Jason is a rich and successful man![3]There is a small garden outside with a few fruit trees,which Jason enjoys taking care of.[4]He also grows some vegetables and a few flowers.He gets his clothes and a lot of other things from charity⑫ shops.
学生用书第54页
[3]that Jason is a rich and successful man为that引导的同位语从句,作signs的同位语。
[4]which Jason enjoys taking care of是which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词fruit trees,which在从句中作taking care of的宾语。
But Jason appreciates⑬ this change.He is pleased to give up the lifestyle of a rich man.He was tired of⑭ being regarded as⑮ living a successful life,as a person who had everything while many people had nothing.[5]He made the choice to give all his money away⑯.[6]And this,he said,brought him happiness and a sense of success in life.
[5]as与前面的regarded连用,意为“认为”;who引导定语从句,修饰先行词a person;while在此为并列连词,意为“而,然而”。
[6]动词不定式to give all his money away修饰前面的名词choice,作后置定语。
“I don't need a lot of money.I don't want to buy more things.I have enough,”said Jason.“What I want is to live simply and be helpful to others.[7] A few years ago,I was a millionaire,but I knew millions of people died of hunger⑰every year,and there were places with no schools and no teachers.So many people could never go to school.They didn't have the chance to learn and get on in life.This worried me a lot and I felt very guilty⑱ being a rich man without doing anything.”
[7]What I want是what引导的主语从句;to live simply and be helpful to others是并列的动词不定式短语作表语。be helpful前省略to。
Therefore he gave away all his money to charities.Whenever he had more than two thousand dollars,[8]he would give away small bank notes⑲ to homeless people in the streets of local areas.“It was a kind of satisfaction and a real sense of success that I had never felt before, [9]” said Jason.“Sure,many people think that ‘success’ means having millions in the bank or a well-paid job.But I think my sense of achievement comes from helping others and finding true meaning in life.”
[8]Whenever引导时间状语从句,whenever意为“每当”。
[9]that在此处引导定语从句,修饰前面两个并列的先行词a kind of satisfaction and a real sense of success。that在从句中作表语。
学生用书第55页
Most people believe when they are living comfortably⑳ and earning enough money,they will have no worries.However,most people never feel they have earned enough.Jason Harley decided to drop out of this kind of lifestyle,and he discovered that having only a little money made him free.[10] Are there any things he misses from his past? “No,I'm much happier now,because I am living according to my values.Success is not measured by how much money you have but by how you understand the true meaning of life.[11]”
[10]that在此处引导宾语从句,作动词discovered的宾语;其中having only a little money是动词-ing形式短语作主语。
[11]该句是“not...but...”结构,意为“不是……而是……”,两个介词by后接各自的宾语从句。“not...but...”连接并列成分作主语时,谓语动词与but后的成分在人称和数上保持一致。

安吉拉·约翰逊采访前百万富翁詹森·哈利
对于很多人来说,成为百万富翁是成功的象征,并且他们将此作为最终目标。他们花一半时间想象各种发财和达到他们期望的成功的方法,另一半时间则用来考虑一旦发了财他们会干什么。但是,所有的百万富翁们都在实现目标后获得所寻求的成功感了吗?有些人成为百万富翁后继续担心金钱问题——他们努力工作,变得富有,但接下来他们需要继续赚钱,这样才不会丧失已经获得的成功感。然而有些人却放弃了百万家财,找到了人生中其他形式的成功。詹森·哈利就是一个例子。
16年前,詹森是一名大学教授,拥有一套带有6间卧室的大房子和200万美元的财富。现在他住在一间只有二手家具的小宿舍里。毫无疑问,没有迹象表明詹森是一个富有且成功的人!房子外面有一个小花园,种了几棵果树,詹森喜欢侍弄它们。他还种了一些蔬菜和花。他从慈善商店买衣服和许多其他的东西。
但是詹森喜欢这种变化。他很高兴能放弃富人的生活方式。他厌倦了过别人眼中成功的生活——在很多人一无所有的时候自己却拥有一切。他决定把自己的钱财都捐赠出去。他说这给他的生活带来了快乐和成功感。
“我不需要很多钱,也不想买更多的东西。我拥有的够多了,”詹森说。“我想要简单地生活并能帮助别人。几年前,我是一个百万富翁,但我知道每年有数百万人死于饥饿,而且有些地方没有学校和老师。因此很多人永远不能上学,他们没有接受教育和开启新生活的机会。这让我非常担心,作为一位富人而不能有所作为,我感到非常内疚。”
因此,他把所有的钱都捐给了慈善机构。每当他的钱超过2 000美元时,他就会给当地街头无家可归的人赠送小额钞票。“这是一种我从未感受过的满足和真正的成功感,”詹森说。“当然,很多人认为‘成功’意味着有数百万银行存款或高薪的工作。但我认为我的成就感来自帮助他人并找到生活真正的意义。”
学生用书第56页
大多数人相信,当他们生活舒适并赚到足够的钱时,他们就可以高枕无忧了。但是,大多数人从未觉得自己赚够了。詹森·哈利决定放弃这种生活方式,他发现只拥有少量金钱使他获得了自由。和过去相比,他错过了什么吗?“不,现在我更开心,因为我依照自己的价值观生活。衡量成功与否不在于你有多少金钱,而在于你如何理解生命的真正意义。”

A
(2024·广东阳江市高二上月考)
A Chinese girl Tan Fanglin overcame a world-class mathematics problem and was invited again to attend the World Laureates Forum when she was 15.Communicating with 65 top scientists in the world,she became a rising star in this meeting of the world's sharpest minds.
Her discovery has won her many prizes in youth innovation competitions in China.However,Tan is not a “genius” in the traditional sense.Tan was born in a scholarly family.Her father was a professor of mathematics.Tan showed a high interest in mathematics when she was very young.She likes to find questions on her own.The more difficult the problem is,the more potential she will unlock.In this process,her father will only give proper guidance.
Tan took part in many research projects.So devoted to the projects,she once made serious mistakes during the exam at school.Instead of severely rebuking her,her parents let her find the problem by herself and achieve a better balance between textbook study and research.It was because of the respect and trust of her parents that Tan began to plan her study time scientifically and applied the learning methods summarized in the process of mathematics research to the classroom.With her hard work,she made great achievements in mathematics.
Attending this meeting enabled Tan to get more inspiration from the world's top scientists.She even got the opportunity to talk with Gero Miesenböck,who is pioneering the field of Optogenetics (光遗传学).Miesenböck has encouraged her not to lose her passion and love for what she does and said accepting failure is important to researchers.He has stressed that people all know that even Thomas Edison went through hundreds of unsuccessful attempts before finally inventing the light bulb.Tan has met many difficulties in her research and often feels upset.The words have made her feel inspired.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了15岁女孩谈方琳再次受邀参加世界顶尖科学家论坛以及她背后的故事。
1.What can we learn about Tan Fanglin?
A.She went to the meeting with her father.
B.She has a strong love for mathematics.
C.She never made mistakes in her school exams.
D.She was invited to attend the Forum for the first time.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Tan showed a high interest in mathematics when she was very young.”可知,谈方琳对数学非常热爱。故选B项。

(2024·甘肃天水第二中学高二上月考)
The Oxford dictionary defines the word “success” as “an accomplishment of an aim” and “attaining fame,social status (地位) or wealth”.Is this how we measure success in life? If you are rich,you'll have people say “you have everything” or “you're already successful in life” or a similar statement that means you have money and are well settled.There are many people who feel this way,while there are many who feel that success is not just having a lot of money.
The thing is,your concept of success is connected to your beliefs and values,and if your values tell you that success in life means money,then there is nothing that will change your mind.On the other hand,if your value system says that having money,stability,peace,happiness and contentment in your life are equally important,then you have an entirely different idea of success in life.There are a lot of people in this world that are wealthy.However,they are unhappy.There are a lot of people who do not make a lot of money,but are happy with what they have.
There are different kinds of people in the world,and each one has a different view on what being successful really is about.Here are a few common opinions about success.
●Success in life means having money.
●Success in life means winning games or competitions.
●Success in life means achieving your goal.
●Success in life means having the career you wanted.
●Success in life means owning a nice house,a good car and having all the costly comforts life has to offer.
●Success in life means being famous.
●Success in life means having influence,power and control.
●Success in life means being free from insecurities,fears and wants.
The one thing that is common to the statements above is that they include accomplishment,attainment and fulfillment (履行).Another thing is that it's something you yearn for or that gives you an unspoken advantage over others.

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成功的路上并非一蹴而就,经历苦难后方能成功。
1.答案:success
解析:考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中为knows后的宾语从句中的主语,因此此处用名词success,故填success。
2.答案:highly
解析:考查词性转换。副词修饰形容词,结合空后successful可知,此处应用副词highly,故填highly。
3.答案:stuck
解析:考查动词的时态。空处在句中为谓语,结合前文“When J.K.Rowling received her first rejection letter”可知,空处的时态为一般过去时,stick“粘贴,粘住”,其过去式为stuck,故填stuck。
4.答案:spending
解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语had spent,所以此处用非谓语;主语Rowling与动词spend为主谓关系,所以此处填动词-ing形式spending,故填spending。
5.答案:a
解析:考查冠词。短语:a total of “……的总数”,故填a。
6.答案:global
解析:考查词性转换。形容词修饰名词,所以空处用形容词global修饰名词success,作定语。故填global。
7.答案:published
解析:考查非谓语动词。get sth done“使某物被……”,此处指使他的作品被出版,所以用过去分词published,作宾语补足语,故填published。
8.答案:for
解析:考查介词。prize for sth“因……奖励”,所以空处填介词for,故填for。
9.答案:when
解析:考查定语从句。分析可知,“ women were not encouraged to become writers”在句中为定语从句,先行词为time(时期),空处指代time,在从句中作状语,所以用关系副词when,故填when。
10.答案:to guarantee
解析:考查非谓语动词。短语:enough to do“足够做……”,所以空处用动词不定式to guarantee,故填to guarantee。
