How do people think about money There is a truth that many people value money too highly. They think money is all and believe that “money is a passport to anything”. So they can do anything, even immoral and illegal things in order to have money. Robbers are ready to kill others cruelly for merely dozens of dollars. Traders are ready to cheat in commerce to appropriate more money. Officials themselves, who have much power and influence on society, trample on their honor and others’ interests.

听力原文： Money means different things to different people. We have all heard or used expressions such as, "How much money do you want for this？ How much money do you make？" and "They have a lot of money." It is obvious that money does not mean the same thing in each of these expressions. In the first expression, money refers to a price; in the second, to income; and in the third, to wealth. The confusion arises because money is the standard in terms of which we value all material goods and services. For most of us, both income and wealth are considerably greater than our holdings of money. Income is the net revenue we receive for the sale of our services or of the products of our services. Wealth is the accumulation of past savings of income. Most of us hold only a small part of our wealth in the form. of money.
