解答 61.where 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词Japan在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where.
62.coming 考查现在分词. a nail与come之间是主谓关系,用现在分词短语coming through the wall from outside作后置定语.
63.for 考查介词.for sb.to do sth.属于动词不定式的复合结构.
64.darkness 考查名词.介词in后接名词作宾语.
65.its 考查代词.its指代another gecko.
66.trapped 考查过去分词.one与trap之间是动宾关系,用过去分词作定语.
67.deeply 考查副词.touch是动词,要用副词修饰.
68.what 考查连词.have是及物动词,用what作其宾语,同时引导宾语从句.
69.and 考查连词.根据句意:父母和孩子.用连词and.
70.The 考查冠词.根据句意:我们应该做的最后一件事情.用the表示特指.

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%.
