【题目】 【1】 This old saying calls attention to the wisdom of saving money. “Putting money away for a rainy day.” is another way to talk about saving for the future.

People who hate to spend money are known as “tightwads”, while those who like to get the most value for their money are called “thrifty”. 2 A spendthrift is someone who spends wastefully. People like that are often said to spend money “like a drunken sailor” or “like there is no tomorrow”.

In the United States, people who want to start a savings account have different choices of where to put their money. 3 Credit unions are cooperatives for people who have some kind of connection. For example, the members might work for a university or a government agency. Most credit unions are nonprofit organizations.

Credit unions, banks and other financial institutions pay interest on savings accounts. But the rates are low. Certificates of deposit (定期存款) pay higher returns. With Certificates of deposit, people agree not to withdraw the money for a certain period of time. This term could be anywhere from a few months to several years. 4 People can withdraw the money early but they have to pay a penalty.(罚金)

In many countries, people have been saving less over the years. It is reported that in 2000, Americans had a household savings rate of 7%. 5 Many European countries have higher rates, but Americans save more than families in Japan.

A. People are willing to save money for te future.

B. Before gold, even kings take off their hats.

D. Longer terms, and large amounts, pay higher interest.

E. This year the rate is expected to be a little more than four percent.

F. These include banks and credit unions.

G. A thrifty person is different from a spendthrift.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

It was graduation day at the university where I worked a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago,as we watched the students walking into the hall,one of my colleagues turned to me and said,“Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest times of your life.”At my inquiry,he answered,“Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave.”

As years went by,my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed. When I come across naughty students,I have to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn't the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me,asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one,though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills,he said he could get me hired. I thanked him,but declined his kind offer.

A few days before this current graduation,while working on final grades,I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class-not about math,but about life-would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading,I remembered why I had become a teacher.

Now,on this sunny graduation day,as I again observed the sea of blue_hats_and_gowns,I did so with renewed dedication(奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction-I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.
