Personal Finance
When it comes to our finances, each of us has our own individual approach. Some of us are savers, some are spenders, and others are some where in between. This continuum is a paradigm that our popular culture uses to frame differences in the way people approach money.
I believe that the way we approach our finances goes beyond that particular behavioral characteristic. In reality, I think our approach to finances can be viewed in more of a multi-dimensional setting where money has a different role in our lives. For some, money means survival plain and simple. For others money is something that is a part of their lives but rarely on their mind, regardless of the role it actually plays. For yet others, money is an obsession, as accumulation indicates achievement. Some people view money as a defensive resource to protect against future setbacks. Some people want money to provide a good home to contribute to the ability to have certain hobbies or to provide something to future generations and so on. Sometimes the same person may view money differently in different situations. The bottom line is that we each have our own relationship with money and our own conscious and subconscious needs for money, rooted in our value systems.
This is an area of personal finance that has interested me for a while. Why do people behave the way they do with respect to their money? What's driving this behavior? Of course a starting point for anybody is to consider how you personally view things. Taking an in-trospective approach I have spent time figuring out my own take on money and the role it plays in my life. What I have determined is that for me it fits into a framework that includes the following elements health wealth and relationships. These are linked together as a part of a system. They're all connected and to the extent one is strengthened the others will be strengthened as well. If one is weakened, the others will be weakened as well. So to me, money is a part of the wealth aspect of HWR. Beyond basic survival, money gives you the opportunity to live a healthier life with the time and means to have more positive relationships. One thing I want to make clear is that I am not saying that money buys friends. Well, it could, but those aren't true friends. What I am saying is that the more money you have, on balance, the less stressed you are about it, and the more time you have to do other things such as cultivate true genuine relationships that arent based on money. Money is but a component in the system.

Good Communication for Making Friends
As a communication skills trainer, I've met a wide range of people. Some people have trouble associating with others and have difficulty making friends. So I would like to discuss two key points of making good friends. The first is to show respect and love for your friends through your words. Try to say things to others that would feel good to you if you heard them. For example, say things like.
\at speaking, then smiling and using body language to express your sincerity is also an effective way to communicate. Additionally, I recommend that when you meet someone new send them an e-mail or letter before the day is over to express how nice it was to meet them.
The goal of good communication is to reach another person's heart and form a comfortable relationship. It is, therefore, based on the premise that you get rid of your worries and become a bright and positive person. When there is static noise over the phone line, you can't hear the other person clearly, right? In the same way, when your mind is full of worries and you try to communicate with another person, you cannot give or receive messages accurately. For example let's say you are still tied to a past wound of being betrayed by a friend and feeling hurt. Even if you meet someone new and he or she tells you,\accept it because you will hear a negative inner voice saying something like \again\able to make friends.
If you can be refreshed and get rid of your worries, you should be able to sense others' thoughts and feelings without prejudice and build a relationship of trust. If you really can't let go of your painful past experience, then try to change your perspective on the experience. For example try to think that it was a necessary lesson for you to understand others' pain. If you can think of the positive intention behind the event, then you will be able to view the experience favourably and feel better.
11、The main topic of the passage is （ ） A．how to communicate with others B．how to refresh yourself
C．how to forget the past unhappiness
D．how to show respect and love for your friends
12、 The effective way to communicate includes（ ） A．showing respect and love for friends with words B．smiling and using body language C．sending an e-mail or letter D．All of the above
13、 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to thepassage? （ ） A．Body language is as effective as saying things that will make friends feel better. B．If you distrust others, then it's difficult for you to make new friends.
C．The writer conducted a research on how people communicate with their friends. D．Minds full of worries will do great harm to interpersonal relationship. 14、 The example in paragraph 2 is intended to show that （ ） A．the goal of good communication is to reach another person's heart
