点评 近几年高考试题中完形填空有新的变化,试题所涉及的知识面不断拓宽,综合难度不断提高.做完形填空首先要通读全文,了解大意.一篇完形填空的文章有许多空格,所以必须要先通读一到两遍,才能大致了解文章内容.千万不要看一句,做一句.其次要逐句分析,前后一致.选择答案时,要考虑整个句子的内容,包括搭配,时态以及语法等.答案全部填完后,再通读一遍文章,检查是否通顺流畅,用词得当,意思正确.
Plan for financial aid.Most parents don't save nearly enough for children's education.They assume that investing in a 529 plan is the best place for your savings.While a 529 plan offers taxfree growth and withdrawals for college costs,colleges look at these savings when evaluating their qualification and how much they will hand over.Do save aggressively for college in a taxable account in your name if your household income is below﹩100,000.In this case,your child will likely qualify for some financial aid.Do invest in a 529 plan if your income is higher than﹩100,000 and will likely remain at or above that level when your child enters college.In this case,the 529 plan is great because you probably won't qualify for financial aid anyway.
Expect ups and downs.Annoyed by three straight years of stock market dlines,many people have been shifting to lowerrisk investments.But just astaking too much risk can hurt your portfolio's(投资组合) growth rate,so can hiding out in excessive safe investments.Do consider investing in funds that you'll hold on to for more than a year.Under the new tax law,longterm capital gains are taxed at a maximum of 15%,down from 20%.Do look at stock funds that pay dividends(红利).Dividends on stocks used to be taxed at your personal income tax rate.Under the new law,they are now taxed at no more than 15%.Investing in these funds will not only hold down taxes but also sustain your portfolio's value in tough times.
Forget high fees.Over the next ten years,achieving the kind of doubledigit returns we experienced over the past 20years will be much harder.In the 1990s,the average rate of returns for aportfolio allocated 60% to stocks and 40% to bonds was 13.2% after taxes and transaction expenses.Over the coming decade,this rate is expected to be closer to 5.5%.Don't pay unnecessarily high investment costs and fees.For example,if you can save half a percentage point on your fund expense ratio(the fee that funds charge you each year to manage your money),your average investment return could be 6% instead of 5%.
