The major them
46、e of the book is the idea that if you want to cut your spending, youll have to begin by stopping trying to impress other people. The authors divide people into two groups : people whose opinions you care about, and people whose opinions you dont care about one way or another. Its easy to stop caring
47、 about people whose opinions you dont care about. Who cares what they think ? As long as youre not doing something truly immoral something that might potentially create a negative reputation for you it doesnt matter what they think. But shouldnt you impress other people whose opinions you do care ab
48、out ? Anyway, they are people you want to meet : customers, friends and family. The answer is that you dont need to impress those people with expensive, shiny things.

49、ke you for you or they wont. To put it simply, take care of the basics. Keep yourself clean. Keep your weight under control. Wear reasonable clothing. Work on your communication skills.

50、ation is incredibly valuable. It drops your clothing budget. It drops your automobile budget. It drops your electronics budget. It drops your housing budget. You dont need a shiny car, an iPhone, or a 50 haircut. Yes , you may actually still want one or two of these things, but the impetus(动力) comes
51、 from what your personal values are, not what other people around you seem to value or what marketing messages you receive. For some people, it seems impossible. Their social cues come from advertising-laden media and from friends who also get their cues from advertising-laden media.They believe the
52、y need a slick cellphone and 100 casual clothes. Their self-worth revolves around that little burst they get from impressing others. People should learn to break through that situation. In short, dont play socially by the tiring old rules that revolve around needing to impress people. Instead, spend
53、 your time on things that bring real value to you and give real value to others.66. Which of the following behaviours is “immoral”according to the second paragraph ? A.
