The Richest Man in Babylon is one of the greatest books on accumulating wealth ever written. Its(26)premise is that part of all you earn is yours to keep.
    What is the point of working for 50 years if most of what you earn(27)ends up in somebody else’ s pocket? Too many people pay rent all their lives and have no money invested for(28)retirement. When they retire they have no hope of buying a home so are dependent on rented(29)accommodation and the(30)pension for survival.
    Wealth is like a huge tree that grows from a tiny seed. It takes a long time but, provided it is watered and fertilized regularly, it will slowly but surely grow at a faster and faster rate.
    If you go to Tasmania’s Gordon River area you will see(31)magnificent pine trees. Then you see little straggly ones that are no more than 2m tall and it may come as a surprise to discover these tiny(32)specimens are already nearly 100 years old. Everything that is(33)worthwhile—whether a good marriage, a huge tree, or a sound(34)fi nancial position—takes time.
    The problem with financial losers is that they can never wait for anything. They are like a child who plants seeds and then(35)digs them up every day to see how much progress they have made.
选项
答案 magnificent
解析 这里要填一个修饰树木的形容词，magnificent的意思是“雄伟的，盛大的，壮丽的”。根据上下文可知这里的词是与little straggly ones形成对比，很容易听出是magnificent表示“巨大的松树”。
