2、 young mechanic fixed it in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound. I was amazed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.

3、 more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant(顾问)who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth. ”There is an old saying that goes, “JOB means Jus

4、t Over Broke(破产)”. And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills.

5、y will learn, more than what they will earn. When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds? ”Almost all the students raise their hands.

Why do talented people earn so little according to the author? A.

9、They dont work hard enough. B. They lack financial intelligence. C. They dont make full use of their talents. D. They have no specialized skills. 【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第三段内容再结合最后一段最后两句话“The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rathe

10、r than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger. ”可知有天赋的人赚得少是因为缺少经济头脑。4. The main purpose of the author is to tell us_. A. how young people can find a satisfactory jobB. what schools should teach about financeC. why so many talented people are poorD. how McDonalds makes much money【解析】选C。主旨
