My father was an elementary school teacher with eight children. We had hardl
25、y enough to eat. When I joined my high school it so happened that both my bench mates were very rich. One boy had a separate room and a separate cook to serve him food. The other was the son of a big businessman who had different types of 6business. Seeing them , I developed a feeling that I should
26、also become a millionaire one day.Joining public service will never make one a millionaire. Only business can do that wonder. So I preferred to do business and earn a lot in my life. That became my lifes dream. After my school education I joined a business of my friend as a clerk and learned all the
27、 tricks of the trade. I could understand the market ups and downs and advantages of forward trading. I started trading in producing industry and adopted(采用) advanced techniques. It was not very late before I became a millionaire, as after some time money itself makes money.I earned more and more but
28、 I found later that money alone does not give happiness and pleasure which man needs. Money is the root cause of all bad things. Envy (嫉妒), jealousy and hypocrisy(虚伪) are its servants. With a lot of money I was feeling unsafe. I was envied by all. I cannot get rid of them or the money. Finally I wor

It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards
33、the west. However, this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land because the population was increasing. Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.Althou
34、gh the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some unusual differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution (革命) while Australia won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, unlike the United States, was firstly turn
35、ed into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising.
