60.B 第一段最后说“从他们花钱的方式能看出他们在生活中真正重视什么”,由此判断选B项。
61.D 第四段中被采访的那个百万富翁说:
“人们这么尊敬我,这最让我感到惊讶。
我什么都不是,我知道的也不多,我只是有钱。
”从这句回答可以推断D项正确,他觉得自己不应该受到如此多的关注。
62.A 最后一段说,该教授在书中向大家传达了一点:
钱是一个工具,而不是人生的最终目标。
由此判断选A项。
63.B 文章最后一句作者说,在物质世界,钱的作用很重要,但是指望金钱给我们带来幸福的话就会错失人生的真谛。
由此可知,“财富一定能给拥有者带来幸福”是错误的,不是作者的观点。

56.D 根据文章第三段最后一句中的“I'mnotgoingtocomplain,butIdowanttoshareafewthingsabouttelecommuting(远程办公)thatfewhomebasedpeoplewanttotellyou,becauseworkingfromhomedoesn'tlooksowonderful.”可知,作者告诉我们一些远程办公不被公众所了解的事实,故选D项。
57.A 根据文章最后一句“Soit'snotsoeasytobeflexible!
”可知,此段主要讲述了在家上班并没有人们想象中那么自由,A项最能归纳该段大意,故选A项。
58.C 根据文章最后一段作者自己的经历并结合全文可知,即便你在家工作,如果你还没有完成工作的话,你仍然是没有所谓的自由可言的,故选C项。
59.B 文章多次提到“telecommuting”“workingfromhome”等等,由此不难推断出,本文是为那些想要远程办公或者在家办公的办公室职员而写的,故选B项。
