Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Казырбаева, Дворецкая 10 класс, Титул:
2 A. Read the text and fill the blanks where necessary with the correct articles “a”, “an” or “the”.
Making money and success synonymous is (1) a big mistake. Money as currency can be used as (2) a means to certain ends. Though money has (3) a role to support us with necessities, money can’t buy dignity (достоинство). Suppose you have food and no appetite? It can be as bad as having an appetite and no food. Suppose you have money, lots of money, but you got it illegally and end up in jail, and your parents are left with (4) a broken heart. How can you mend it with money?
Part of it is driven by TV asking what your wish is. ‘I wish I had (5) an expensive sweater, I wish I had (6) a fur coat, I wish I had sneakers, I wish I had ..." You start wishing for things that you can’t afford, your eyes get big.
You focus on a wish list, instead of focusing on a thank-you list, which is non-ma-terialistic. Things that mean (7) the most dontaskt involve money. I often ask kids to name (8) the top five dead billionaires they would like to be. They say they wouldn’t want to be any of them because they’re dead. It means that life is the treasure, right?
You should be materialistic enough to have decent (приличную) clothes and (9) a nice house, transportation, food, (10) a job. You should be materialistic enough to achieve, but not mindlessly materialistic. That’s when you get greedy (алчный).
