Reading Comprehension
Section A

Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

We all want to raise kids who are happy and successful, but we often mistakenly think that money is the key to that happiness and success. In fact, the amount of money parents possess has little to do with how children turn out. The attitudes and actions of parents around money issues, though, have a tremendous effect.On the positive side, parents who exhibit healthy money behaviors communicate strong values to their children. When parents talk openly and constructively about financial issues, avoid engaging in frequent money battles and use their financial resources to help the disadvantaged, children learn lessons about respect, love and giving.On the negative side, "bad" money behaviors can distort the values parents want to communicate; they also make their children tremendously unhappy. Repeated fights about money may communicate to kids that money isn't worth having because it is the cause of anger, hostility, resentment and tension. When parents are workaholics who are rarely home, they communicate that making money and supporting a wealthy lifestyle are more important than having meaningful family time.Financially intelligent parents know how to emphasize the positive impact and minimize the negative one. They understand that money itself is neither good nor bad; it's what they do with it and what they teach their children about it that are important. Becoming this type of parent is a function of awareness and effort. You need to be aware of the beliefs and practices that define financially intelligent parenting and then resolve to translate this awareness into action.

Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

        If we come right out and tell someone, "I disagree," we tend to turn away the friendship of that person. Successful negotiators (谈判者) would rather label their intentions, such as a desire to provide a suggestion, than label disagreement. Problems are likely to increase if weput all our needs aside to focus on another person's perspective. The other party may think we have no needs and be quite taken back when we introduce them all of a sudden.In order to avoid such unproductive shock, I like the idea of briefly saying something along these lines. "I see that we look at this issue from different perspectives. While I want to share my needs and views with you later, let me first focus on your thoughts, needs, and observations." At this point, we can now put our needs aside, attempt to truly listen, and say: "So, help me understand what your concerns are regarding..." That is the easy part. The difficulty comes in fulfilling such a resolution to really listen to resist the tendency to interrupt with objections, no matter how unfounded some of the comments may be. Instead of telling someone that we understand, we can be much more effective by revealing exactly what it is that we understand. All along we must resist, as we listen, the temptation to bring up our viewpoints and concerns. In trying to comprehend, we may need to put our understanding in terms of a question, or a tentative statement. This way we show true awareness.We may have to refine our statement until the other person approves it as a correct understanding of his position or need. It is necessary not only to understand, but for the other person to feel understood. Only now can we begin to explain our perspective and expect to be fully listened to. Once we have laid out our concerns, we can focus on a creative solution. If we have had no history with someone, or a negative one, we need to use more caution when disagreeing. The possibility for a disagreement to be side-railed into argument is always there. It helps if we have made goodwill deposits over time.

   A) you are not friendly

   A) lend an attentive ear to the needs of the other party
   B) pretend to truly listen to the other party
   C) try to solve the easy part of the negotiation
   D) avoid unproductive shock

   A) you argue in the form of a question or a tentative statement
   B) you show your consideration for the other party’s position
   C) you put forward your viewpoint at an appropriate time

   A) the other party finishes his
   B) the other party confirms your comprehension of his concerns
