one skill away from great wealth.”
There is an old saying that goes，“Job means ‘just over broke (破产)’．” And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，and most workers “live_within_their_means”．They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn. When I ask the class I teach，“ How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's？” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask，“ So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald's makes more money than you？” The answer is obvious：McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at making a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
71．The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that________. A．he is just one of the talented people B．he is ready to help others C．he has a sharp sense of hearing D．he knows little about car repairing 72．The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“________”． A．spend more than they can afford B．do in their own way C．live in their own circle D．live within what they earn 73．Why do talented people earn so little according to the author? A．They don't work hard enough. B．They lack financial intelligence.
C．They don't make full use of their talents. D．They have no specialized skills. 74．The success of McDonald's lies in its________. A．skills at making hamburgers B．good business systems C．talented workers D．excellent service
75．The main purpose of the author is to tell us________.
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job B．what schools should teach students
C．why so many talented people are poor D．how McDonald's makes much money

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)。 [1]Some expressions describe people who are important，or who at least think they are.One such expression is bigwig.
[2]In the seventeenth century，important men in Europe began to wear false hair，called wigs.As years passed，wigs began to get bigger.The size of a man's wig depended on how important he was.The more important he was－or thought he was－________.Today，the expression bigwig is used to make fun of a person who feels important.People never tell someone he is a bigwig.They only use the expression behind his back.
[3]Big wheel is another way to describe an important person.A big wheel may be the head of a company，a political leader，a famous movie star.They are big wheels because they are powerful.What they do affects many people.Big wheels give the orders.Other people carry them out.As in many machines，a big wheel makes the little wheels turn.Big wheel became a popular expression after World War Ⅱ.It probably comes from an expression used for many years by people who fix parts of cars and trucks.They said a person rolled a big wheel if he was important and had influence. [4]The top of something is the highest part.So it is not surprising that top is part of another expression that describes an important person.The expression is top banana.A top banana is the leading person in a comedy show.The funniest comedian is called the top
