阅读下面的短文,根据各小题要求作答。                                                                Millionaire at 14
     Farrah Gray, a self-made millionaire by age 14, recognizes there"s more to richness than money alone.
     Not too many people become entrepreneurs, published authors, producers and philanthropists in their
lifetime. But don"t tell that to Farrah Gray.
     Gray"s rise in the business world is an unlikely story. Growing up poor on Chicago"s Southside, Gray
said he used to dream he would one day look from his office onto the streets of Manhattan. He dreamed
of giving speeches that would inspire millions and making enough money to ensure that his mother didn"t
have to work two jobs.
     It didn"t take Gray very long to _______. At age 14, Gray became a self-made millionaire when his
company, Farr-Out Foods, which specialized in food targeted at young people, gained more than $1.5
million in sales. Shortly after, Gray sold his company for more than $1 million, but has continued working
to inspire others with his success.
     Gray"s entrepreneurial spirit was developed at a young age. He started his first business at age 6, selling
homemade lotion door to door. Gray said he experienced a thrill from selling something he helped create
and was instantly hooked.
     "Ideas are the most precious thing that can come to you. Every big idea starts out small," he said.
     Since age 12, Gray has toured the United States sharing his experiences with audiences. Gray tells
audiences that it is important to"believe in yourself when no one else will."
      He has always made a great effort to inspire others to follow in his footsteps of success. His philosophy
is "success is a process that must be taken step by step." He details these steps in his bestselling book,
Reallionaire, which has made its way onto www.Amazon.com"s bestseller list.
     An important staple of Gray"s career has been his emphasis on philanthropy. His basic belief is, "The
more you have, the more you should give." Questions:
1. Does Farrah Gray recognize there is more to richness than money alone?
____________________________________________________________________________
2. Why did Farrah Gray use to dream of making enough money when he was young?
____________________________________________________________________________
3. Complete the sentence in paragraph 4 within THREE words.
____________________________________________________________________________
4. According to the passage, what is Reallionaire?
____________________________________________________________________________
5. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
____________________________________________________________________________

     A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a
£100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, "Who would like to have this £100 bill?" The
students began to put up their hands at once.
     Then he said, "I am going to give this bill to one of you, but first, let me do this." He then made this
bill into a ball. Then he said, "Who wants it?" Hands went into the air.
     "Well," he said, "What if I do this?" and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the
dirty, crumpled bill and said, "Who still wants it?" Hands went back into the air.
     "My friends," he said, "You"ve learned a valued lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you
still wanted it because it didn"t go down in value. It was still worth £100.
     Many times in our lives, we"re dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the
things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened
to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those who love you. Your value doesn"t
come from what you drop or whom you know,but WHO YOU ARE.

C. Your value doesn"t change no matter what happens to you.
D. The value of money changes when it is made dirty.

     A person who is deaf when he is born is usually dumb (哑的) as well. There may be nothing wrong
with his mouth and tongue, but he cannot speak. This is because he cannot hear people, so he has
nothing to imitate (模仿). He may try to make sounds himself, but cannot hear his own voice. However,
even though he finds it difficult to speak and cannot hear, he can learn to read. Nowadays such persons
can also be taught to speak because we have modern methods and equipment, but we did not have these
when Helen Keller was born.
     Even with modern methods and equipment, however, it is not easy for deaf children to learn to speak,
though most of them succeed. When a child is deaf and blind as well, it becomes much more difficult,
though it is possible. Helen Keller was born in 1880. She became very ill at the age of nineteen months.
Medical knowledge was not as great then as it is now. She did not die but lost her sight and hearing. As
a result, she became dumb as well. Her parents did their best to teach her, but she couldn"t speak by the
age of six.
     Then, in 1887, a teacher, Miss Sullivan, came to live with her. Miss Sullivan herself had been blind.
She had been partly cured. Though she could not see very well, she was not blind. Helen was a difficult
pupil at first, but in a month Helen had learned how to understand signs and how to make them herself.
     At last in spite of her great difficulties, Helen learned to read, write and speak, even though she was
deaf and blind. She even went to college and had full education. She wrote many books, and though other
people have written books about her, her own books are the ones that best explain how it feels to be deaf,
dumb and blind. Her best book is The Story of My Life. Perhaps you have read it. Though it was written
in 1902, it is still a very interesting book. Even if you have not read it, you may have heard of Helen Keller.
1. A person who is deaf at birth is also dumb because ______.
A. there"s something wrong with his mouth and tongue
B. he cannot hear other people and he has nothing to imitate
C. he doesn"t like to speak
D. he cannot hear his own voice
2. Deaf and dumb children can be taught to speak nowadays because _____.
A. we have modern methods and equipment
B. these children are eager to learn to speak
C. they can hear something
D. they have grown up
3. When Helen was nineteen months old, _____.
A. she died of illness
B. she was healthy
C. she was very ill
D. she began to learn to speak
4. How long did it take Keller to understand signs? 
A. A few days.
B. Several years.
C. A moment.
D. A month.
