Steps to Retire as a Millionaire

Having a million-dollar savings is a retirement dream for many people.Making that dream come true requires some serious efforts.While success is never a sure thing,the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective.

1.Vacations,cars,kids and all of life's other expenses take a big chunk(大塊) 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.

2.If you don't save,you'll never reach your goal.Obvious as this might seem,far too many people never even start to save.If your employer offers a 401(k) plan (一種養(yǎng)老保險),simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck,increasing your savings and decreasing your taxes.It's like getting a guaranteed return on your investment.Finding the cash to stash (隱藏起)may be a challenge,particularly when you're young,but don't let that stop you from pursuing future riches.

3.If you are looking to grow your wealth over time,fixed income isn't likely to get the job done,and inflation (通貨膨脹) can take a big chunk out of your savings.Investing in equities (股票) may have 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.

4.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 reduce the damage they can do.

5.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.

A. Watch Your Spending.

B. Prepare for Rainy Days.

C. Start Saving.

D. Get Aggressive.

E. Save More.

F. Set the Goal.

G. Have patience.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。(注意:本題答案寫在答題卷上)

We are forgetful. With time going by, our brains seem to be slowing down—and that can be a very unpleasant thing. 1. Read on for some techniques worth trying.

1. 2.

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性癡呆癥), according to a recent study. _ 3. Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.

2. Go for a walk.

Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 4.

3. Learn something new.

Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.

5. . Or you can go dancing with your friends.

A. Focus on the future.

B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.

C. It should be something like learning gardening.

D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.

F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.

In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates(氣候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.

Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

1.Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?

A. They eat too much for lunch.

B. They sleep too little at night.

C. Their body temperature becomes lower.

D. The weather becomes a lot warmer.

2.If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?

A. About 12:30 pm. B. About 1:30 pm.

C. About 2:30 pm D. About 3:30 pm

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Taking a Rest

B. Taking a Nap

C. A Special Sleep Pattern.

D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.

My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local store. I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these clerks have. They work for a little money and I often wonder how they make ends meet.

One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day. I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was clear that he was having a difficult time.

We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for help with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was touched by our idea so that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!

It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I’m sure that upon hearing his story, ideas of kindness may have come in the minds of many people.

1.Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?

A. It was very warm and fine.

B. His glasses were missing.

C. His old glasses were broken.

D. He forgot to wear his glasses.

2.From the passage, we can infer that ______.

A. Charlie was a young man with skills

B. Charlie knew who paid the money for the new glasses

C. Charlie completely accepted the money for the new glasses

D. Charlie couldn’t support his family with enough money

3.The underlined word “waived” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.

A. took up B. gave up

C. cut down D. put off

4.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A. Customers’ Gift to an Employee

B. A Friendly Clerk — Charlie

During the weekend, I travelled on a plane the first time in my life. I generally travel by train and bus, which is both very cheaper and safer. But that was a long journey, about hundreds of kilometers far away from our city. In the beginning, I didn’t feel very happy, and this feeling didn’t last long. The ride on the plane then is of great excitement. I was soon highly up in the air among the cloud. The views of mountains, fields and rivers were very amazed. I enjoyed my comfortable journey a lot. This experience has shown that travelling in air is actually the safest way of make journeys.
