解析

这是一篇社会生活类短文。在我们成长的过程中，我们逐渐形成了一套自己的价值观或者人生理念。你的价值观会影响到你的花钱方式，在理财方面你属哪一类呢？小题1:细节题。作者在第二段中提到“The are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on”，这些价值观或信念是在社会、家庭和我们所受到的教育等因素的综合作用下产生的。选C小题2:细节题。根据不同的理财理念，专家把人们分为3大类：蚂蚁型、蟋蟀型和蜗牛型。蚂蚁型。根据最后一段“They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury hous”的意思可知：蜗牛型的人为了买豪华住房，他们宁愿选择巨额的长期贷款。蟋蟀型的When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.老了就会有问题，蜗牛型的The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themlves.生活很困难，所以都有缺点，选C。小题3:推断题。根据倒数第二段“They should learn to save and buy insurance”两句可知，作者认为蟋蟀型的人“应当存点钱，买些保险”由此可推断出有三美元要都花完的人是蟋蟀型品质的人。选A小题4:主旨大意题。纵观全文，可知本文主要讲叙的是人们的价值观和理财观念。选D 

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“EVERYBODY in this wo.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
