But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state. We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it. We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone. We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span.

案例分析题What do we talk about when we talk about money? We often think about what we can buy with the money we have, what we can’t buy because we don’t have enough and what we’re planning to buy when we have more. We discuss the careers that bring us money and the expenses that take it away. We talk about our favourite shops and restaurants, the causes we support, the places we’ve been and seen. We share dreams that only money can make real. In short, we talk about everything but money itself. In daily life, money is still a major conversational taboo. This is a shame, because money is as interesting as the things it does and buys, and the more you know about it, the more interesting it is. (81) As a financial advisor, I’ve seen hundreds of people learn to control their money instead of letting it control them and watched as they increased as they increased their freedom, power and security by handling money consciously. Wouldn’t you like to know that you’ll always have enough money to live exactly as you want to? You will never be powerful in life until you’re powerful over your own money. Talking openly about it is the first step. Which of the following is NOT discussed when we talk about money? ()

A. Thecareersthatbringusmoney
B. Thecauseswesupport
C. Thedreamsthatonlymoneycanmakereal
D. Moneyitself
