Saving Money

Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are
saving to buy a CD(光盘)or to go to a concert,then probably you would keep your money
somewhere in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would
you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will
help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank(猪形储蓄
罐),one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in.If you put
your money in a savings account,one year later,you'II have more money than you put
in.Why?
When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is an
amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money(and the
money of other people,too)to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you
how much money you have in your account.It also tells you how much interest you have
earned.If you leave your money in the bank,you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.If you have
some money that you don't need to use for a long time,this is a good way to make your
money grow.
You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of
time.That period might be from six months to five years.You can't touch your money
during that time.If you do,you must pay a penalty,or fee.

If you draw your money before it is due,you will have to
A:pay interest to the bank.
B:close your account.
C:open a new account.
D:pay a penalty or fee,

答案:D

第4题:

资料:Changing careers is becoming more popular. Not just because there are more career options available, but also out of necessity. As new industries arise, others die. It's up to you to figure out if your career is still going to be around in the next 5-10 years. Some studies say we could have as many as nine careers in our professional lifetime. Which begs the question: do you know what it takes to successfully change career lanes repeatedly?
Switching careers is like changing highway lanes: you must signal!
If you want to move in a new career direction, you need to signal to the professional world you intend to make a change. You need to do it with purpose and specificity. It must look well-thought out and intentional. Otherwise, people will A) not know you are looking to make the change, and B)assume you are doing it because you failed in your current career in some way.
1. Give the logic and passion behind your career change.
When signaling to your network you want to switch careers you must explain why both your head and heart are ready to change. Perhaps there are financial or geographic reasons (i.e., you need to relocate or make more money). But, you must also convey the excitement and sincere desire you have for this new career (i.e., you want to make a difference or work on a particular type of problem that needs to be solved).
2. Build a marketing campaign for your business-of-one.
Most employers prefer to hire people with previous experience. Thus, you're going to need a way to convey to them your transferable skills from your former career path will be equally valuable. The best way to do this is to create a targeted list of employers you want to work for and then strategically network with their employees. The more conversations and connections you can have within your new career path, the easier it will be to convince someone to hire you in spite of your lack of experience.
To sum it up … Once you commit to a career change, the secret to success is to make sure everyone knows about it. Otherwise, you will struggle to change career lanes efficiently and effectively.

Why is changing career becoming a necessity?

A.As new industries arise, the popularity of different careers also change.
B.Nowadays people don’t know what they really want to do.
C.Because changing careers is becoming more popular.
D.Because one could have as many as nine careers in his professional lifetime.

答案:A

第7题:

Being financially secure in retirement just doesn’t happen magically It takes lots of planning time and savings
Some scary facts about retirement
?More than 50% of persons do not have enough finances for retirement
?25%do not participate in their company’s retirement plan
?The average person spends 20 years in retirement
Here are some tips to help you plan correctly
1. Talk to a financial professional. Every few years it’s a good idea to schedule a meeting with a financial planner to get a “check-up”. It’s just like a doctor’s visit and you should really talk about your present situation and future goals
2. Save and keep on saving. Make it a habit to save as much as you can
3. Learn your retirement needs. Retirement can be expensive. Learn from today how much you need to save for your retirement. Talk to a financial planner or find an online retirement calculator
4. Take part in your employer’s retirement plans. If your company offers one it is usually the best tool you can use. Talk to a financial professional for all your options
5. Learn about pension. If you have an employer or government pension plan learn all the details
6. Keep your retirement savings off-limits. Don’t make a withdrawal until you retire. You might incur penalties and it will be a setback for realizing your goals
What will happen if you withdraw your retirement savings before you retire?

A. You may have to pay penalties
B. You will fail to realize your goals
C. You retirement savings will become off-limits
D. You should save money for your retirement all over again

答案:A
解析:
细节题。根据关键词定位到原文段标号6“Don’t make a withdrawal until you retire You might incur penalties and it will be a setback for realizing your goals”可以得知,一旦提前取走养老金,就很可能面临罚款,故A项符合。B项绝对了,可能对实现自己的目标会有障碍,但并不是就实现不了,排除B项。文段表明的意思是尽量不要动用这笔养老的钱,而不是动用了就会冻结,因此排除。D项文段没有提及要不要重新缴纳的问题,故排除D项。因此答案选A。
