新疆兵团农二师华山中学2015-2016学年高一下学期英语期中考试试卷
Everyone can't live without money. However, money cannot buy everything. You can't buy the following things only relying on money you have.
Time
Money is a tool for trade. We spend most of our time on this earth getting, spending, worrying and fantasying about money. Instead, money takes away your time that could have been spent playing with your children or having a long walk with your friends. When the sun sets, a day goes away from our life forever. No money has power to bring that back to life.
Self-respect
There are a lot of examples to prove that no money can buy self-respect. If you are your worst enemy, gods of money can't save you from the self-destruction you add to yourself.
Health
As I write this, I found out that one of my best friends has brain cancer, and it is in the last period. But no money can buy insurance for his life. We buy insurance for just about everything including our life but money can never bring life back.
Happiness
This is controversial(有争议的). Money can buy happiness if it is spent bringing greater financial safety for the family. Going after money every day can never find its destination with frequent eagerness to get more .

If you draw fast, you might ruin your drawing. F. But maybe we should rethink this assumption. G. These drawings can always bring me back to that moment. |
Do you ever draw? Most of us don't. The reason we usually leave drawing to the artists is that we're not very good at it. Who wants to do anything they're bad at? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Studies have found drawing has many benefits, artist or not. Here are just a few reasons for picking up a pen or pencil of any kind.
It pushes you to be patient. We're used to things happening fast these days. Drawing is not fast. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} That's OK, and as something comes together over time, you'll be reminded of the value of patience. Drawing is an object lesson that not everything good comes quickly, which is an easy thing to forget.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} A few of my drawings are really kind of great. Í can look at them with pride. But plenty of my little drawings ate nonsense or unfinished. It doesn't matter. I still have the experience of drawing and the benefits that brings. Even if you're not naturally "good" at drawing, you'll get better over time if you practice. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Your drawing doesn't have to mean anything or do anything useful, Sometimes you will even fail. No big deal.
It makes memories stick, I draw in order to capture (捕获) moments from my life. I'm not great at drawing, but that's not the point. Sometimes I draw the view from the window of my hotel room-whether it's a great view or not. Remember, the idea is to capture the moment, not create a masterpiece. Other times I draw from my dinner table. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
