第1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。 -

Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for.If you are
saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then probably 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'll have more money than you put
in.Why?
When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is the
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 there is 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.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period,it will pay you interest.You
will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account.Can you guess why?It's
because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time.Banks
pay different rates of interest.So,you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before
buying a CD.Interest is the amount of money which
A:a bank lends to people.
B:a bank loans to businesses.
C:a bank pays you.
D:a bank uses.答案：C解析： -

Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then probably 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'll have more money than you put in.Why?
When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is the 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 there is 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.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period,it will pay you interest.You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account. Can you guess why?It's because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time.Banks pay different rates of interest.So, you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD.Interest is the amount of money which_______.
A:a bank lends to people
B:a bank loans to businesses
C:a bank pays you
D:a bank uses答案：C解析：文章第三段提到“Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money"，因此选D。

第五段第二句提到bank statement告诉储户账户里有多少钱，其中利息收入是多少。
第七段说到如果你提前支取，会被收取一定的费用，所以选D。
touch在此的意思是储户在储蓄期内不可以取钱，因此选C。 -
