The Importance of Money in Life
1 What were you taught about money as you were growing up?
Something like \oney doesn't grow on trees\ \oney is the root of all evil\or maybe \l rich people are greedy\?
2 Well, how do you expect to become a success financially if you believe these things? You attract into your life what you are thinking about and what you believe. If you think there is not enough money in this world for everyone you will never have enough money. That is called the Law of Attraction（吸引法则）.
3 First of all, believing that \oney doesn't grow on trees\ an example of what's called lack or scarcity programming. Our parents taught us that there was never enough money to go around（分配）, and that it was not readily available or abundant. But in truth, the
universe is very abundant, and there is lots of money to go around for everyone. Just think what you could do if you have as much money as your heart desires What wonderful things you could do with it: travel to the countries you have always dreamt of, buy a house you are even scared to think about, attend meditation classes so you could
spiritually grow, donate money to your favorite charity, spend more quality time（黄金时光）with your family, (1)and the list goes on.
4 The key is to start thinking that you deserve the money and that there is lots of it available for you, and then you can start attracting it into your life. That's abundance thinking（充裕想法）, which is the opposite of lack or scarcity thinking. (2)When you start thinking about the
abundance the Law of Attraction will do the rest. （承上启下句）You do not need to know how it is going to happen. Just make the first step, first thought. Starting is already winning.
5 And what about thinking that \oney is the root of all evil\ Can you really expect to become a success if you believe that money is the root of all evil? (3)Unless you have a desire to be an evil person, your
subconscious will not let you have money if you believe deep down that it is the root of all evil.
6 By the way, that quote is taken out of context in the first place. It was originally stated as \he love of money is the root of all evil\4)So it has nothing to do with the money itself.（承上句）
本部分重点及难点： 1. … the list goes on.
相当于there are many other thing that can be put on the list.意为\还有很多其它的事情（你可以做）\
2. When you start thinking about the abundance the Law of Attraction will do the rest.你开始想着充裕原则的时候，吸引力法则负责剩余的事情。即Once you start thinking about the abundance, the Law of Attraction will work with the rest.
3. Unless you have a desire to be an evil person, your subconscious will not let you have money if you believe deep down that it is the root of all evil. 如果你从心底认同金钱是万恶之源，那么除非你想当个恶人，否则，你的潜意识就不会让你有钱。
deep down: in reality, in spite of appearances 实际上，在心底
She seems indifferent, but deep down she is very pleased.她看上去无动于衷，其实心里非常高兴。
4. So it has nothing to do with the money itself. 因此它和钱本身无关。 have nothing / something / a little / little / much to do sth.
7 Now that you understand that, you can start to think that money is in fact good. You can help people with money. You can stimulate the
economy with money. Even the most kind-hearted spiritual person, who says they don't need money, can do more to make the world a better place with money than without it.
8 And what about thinking that \ll rich people are greedy\? Well, that creates us versus them, whereby you have labeled all of \em\eedy in your mind. You, on the other hand, are very giving in your mind. That's why you don't have money, because you're not greedy.
9 Sure, there must be some rich people in the world who are greedy. But there are also poor people who are greedy. There are both rich and poor people who are very giving as well. The amount of money you have has nothing to do with these character traits.
10 In fact, a lot of rich people got there by not being greedy. Having a giving attitude opens up a flow of money that often brings them more. You will find the same thing: give away money joyfully to a friend, and notice that it comes back to you in some other form. (5)The world needs to be a balance of give and take, and being joyful both as you give and receive will ensure that you always go with the flow.
11 (6)And changing your mindset from what you were taught as a child to a healthier view of money will allow you to become the financial success you deserve to be, to become the real you. 本部分重点及难点：
5. The world needs to be a balance of give and take, and being joyful both as you give and receive will ensure that you always go with the flow. 在这世上，给予和接受是需要相互平衡的，只有乐于接受，同时也乐于给予，才能保证你永远不会为钱发愁。
and 连接的并列句，and后的句子的主干是being joyful will ensure that you always go with the flow
6. And changing your mindset from what you were taught as a child to a
healthier view of money will allow you to become the financial success you deserve to be, to become the real you.改变你儿时所学到的观念模式，树立一个更健康的金钱观，这会让你获得你本应得到的经济上的成功，做一个真实的自己。
(1) 句子的主干是：And changing your mindset will allow you to become the financial success, to become the real you.
(2) from what you were taught as a child to a healthier view of money作定语，修饰your mindset。
(3) you deserve to be作定语，是省略了引导词that的定语从句，先行词是the financial success

② I don't know why but for some reason when I got on the train today it was unusually full, something I don't recall ever happening in the past. With hesitation I sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man that had his head down and seemed to be lost in his
thoughts. I was glad that he didn't notice when I sat next to him as he just continued to look down towards the floor.
③ (3)Shortly after the train left for my 30-minute ride downtown I found myself wondering what this man was thinking about. What could be so
