The cause of the urge to make enormous sums of money varies with the individual, but often money is a substitute for something a person's life lacks. To some, money means security. To some, it means power. To others, it means the possibility of love, and to a fourth group, it means competition and winning the game.
A tremendous need for power is invariably the bottom line for those driven to make a lot of money. The bigger the pile, the more powerful they think they will feel. Parents and family background also influence a person's pursuit of money. Many people who grew up poor and then made a fortune live in fear that they will lose it. Others strive for money to compete with their wealthy, successful parents.
Making money for its own sake can be addicting like high-stakes gambling. The more they earned, the bigger their appetite was. They paid great price for their insatiability for money in terms of their living quality. For example, their obsession with money-making renders them unable to enjoy what they have earned. Instead, they just work at such an intense pace and under such strenuous pressure that they totally neglected themselves. Hence the emergence of various kinds of psychological and physical problems, like impotence, insomnia, heart attacks and problems with a spouse or children.
The cause of the compulsion to make enormous sums of money ______.
Part A
Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Why were the Wright brothers able to succeed in an effort at which so many others had failed？ Many explanations have been mentioned, but three reasons are most often cited. First, they were a team. Both men worked congenially and cooperatively, talked incessantly about the possibility of manned flight, and served as a conscious source of inspiration and encouragement to each other.
Both were glider pilots. Unlike some other engineers who experimented with the theories of flight, they experienced the practical aspects of aerodynamics by building and flying in kites and gliders. They had realized from their experiments that the most serious challenge in manned flight would be stabilizing and maneuvering the aircraft once it was airborne. While others concentrated their efforts on the problem of achieving lift for take-off, they were focusing on developing a three- axis control for guiding their aircraft.
In addition, the Wright brothers had designed more effective wings for the airplane than had been previously engineered. Using a wind tunnel, they tested more than two hundred different wing designs, recording the effects of slight variations in shape on the pressure of air on the wings. The data from these experiments allowed the Wright brothers to construct a superior' wing for their aircraft.
In spite of these advantages, however, the Wright brothers might not have succeeded had they not been born at precisely the opportune moment in history. Attempts to achieve manned flight in the early nineteenth century were doomed because the steam engines that powered the aircrafts were so heavy in proportion to the power that they produced. But by the end of the nineteenth century, when the brothers were experimenting with engineering options, a relatively light internal combustion engine had already been invented, and they were able to bring the ratio of weight to power within acceptable limits for flight.
What is the passage mainly talking about？
Why didn't the woman sign a lease now？
听力原文：W: Did you have a good time today？
M: Oh, no, Alexandra, my job is really starting to get me down. I just don't feel inspired about it any more. I'm tried out after the long hours of work all day.
W: I thought you liked working in that computer center.
M: I did. I thought it was a decent job as a technician. But now with the long hours of typing work, it's starting to get boring to me. Our vice manager is so demanding. Almost every day he asks me to type the reports. I suddenly realized that I'm working as a typist.
W: You told me you would talk to him over lunch today.
M: No way. He talked so much and I had no chance to talk.
W: Then you should try to talk to your manager.
M: I don't see the manager very often. He is always on the road.
W: Well, there is no sense in just staying here. You should try to find another job, I'm sure there are lots of jobs you'd be good at.
M: Thanks, Alexandra. I'll see if I can find out about other jobs. I've always enjoyed working with people and I have a good head for mathematics and statistics.
W: Then why don't you apply for a job as a clerk in a bank？
M: You're probably right. I'll go there tomorrow.
What is the man's feeling about his present job？
