Steps to Retire a Millionaire
Having a million-dollar portfolio is a retirement dream for many people. Making that dream come true requires some serious effort. While success is never a sure thing, the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective.
61. ____
Vacations, car, kids and all of life's other expenses take a big chunk out of your paycheck. To maximize your savings, you need to minimize your expenses. Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings.
62. ____
If you don't save, you'll never reach your goal. As obvious as this might seems, far too many people never even start to save. If your employer offers a 401(k) plan, enrolling in the plan is a great way to put your savings on autopilot. Simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck, increasing your savings and decreasing your immediate tax liability.
If your employer offers to match your contributions up to a certain percentage, be sure to contribute enough to get the full match. It's like getting a guaranteed return on your investment. Finding the cash to stash may be a challenge, particularly when you're young, but don't let that stop you from pursuing future riches.
63. ____
Studies have shown that the majority of the returns generated by an investment are dictated by the asset-allocation decision. If you are looking to grow your wealth over time, fixed-income investments aren't likely to get the job done, and inflation can take a big chunk out of your savings.
Investing in equities entails more risk, but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns. For many of us, it's a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow. Asset-allocation strategies can help you learn how to make picking the right mix of securities the core of your investing strategy.
64. ___
Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur. If you are not prepared, these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts. While you can't avoid all of the bumps in the road, you can prepare in advance to mitigate the damage they can do.
65. ____
Your income should rise as time passes. You'll get raises, you'll change jobs, and maybe you'll get married and become a two-income family. Every time more cash comes in to your pocket, you should increase the amount that you save. The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as much as you can.


【小題1】B
【小題2】D
【小題3】C
【小題4】A
【小題5】F

解析【小題1】B 本段討論的是要注意自己的花錢。故B符合要求。
【小題2】D 根據(jù)本段第一句If you don't save, you'll never reach your goal.可知是號(hào)召我們開始省錢。
【小題3】C 本段討論的是如何投資,也就是在掙錢方面要有積極性。
【小題4】A 本段是指要未雨綢繆,要有長遠(yuǎn)意識(shí)。
【小題5】F 根據(jù)本段第三行you should increase the amount that you save.可知為了我們會(huì)遇見很多難以遇見的問題,所以我們要多省錢。

閱讀下列應(yīng)用文及相關(guān)信息,并按照要求匹配信息。   
以下是學(xué)習(xí)英浯的方法:
A. Practice speaking as often as you can -- even speaking to yourself is good practice. Try recording yourself whenever you can.
B. It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working. Agree times to meet and set goals for the week. And test each other regularly.
C. Practice improvising (即興的) ways of getting your meaning across, even if you don't know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have time. An example is the use of tenses. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.
D. Guesswork is important in learning a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren't expected to understand everything the first round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time. Learn to make maximum (最大限度) use of all the clues (提示) you can pick up.
E. A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning, but don't try to learn too much vocabulary at once.
F. If you are the person on the bus, street or restaurant asking how you can improve your English, you are on the right track. The only way to improve your speaking is by speaking. Don't worry about a bad accent or forgetting words or not being understood.
以下是學(xué)習(xí)者在學(xué)習(xí)英語中所碰到的閑難。請(qǐng)匹配這些困難與他們所對(duì)應(yīng)的學(xué)習(xí)方法。

【小題2】 Margret Lillian's pronunciation is poor. And she doesn't know how to improve her
pronunciation. She is very worried and doesn't know what to do.

【小題4】Although Peter Florian wants to communicate with people on the bus when he is on the way home, he is afraid of being laughed at because of his poor accent.
【小題5】 Lynne Nagata can't express herself clearly in English because she sometimes forgets some key words and doesn't know the tenses exactly.
