(2016·河南百校联盟高三质监)Many people admit that they aren't prepared financially for life's unexpected challenges and emergencies. If your New Year's decision is to become more financially prepared for a “rainy day”,the following tips are helpful for you to save.
Start saving now.
Set specific savings goals and break them down to a set dollar amount to save each paycheck. __4__ Save at least a small portion of each paycheck and remain committed to saving,and then look for ways each month to increase the amount.
__5__
One of the simplest ways to find money to put toward your rainy day fund is to keep a close eye on where your money is being spent. For two or three months,try keeping track of every expense,including small ones. Once you have a better idea of where your money is going,make a budget that includes a spending and savings plan. __6__
Make saving automatic.
__7__ If your goal is to save $5,000 this year,calculate the amount you'll need to save from each paycheck,then arrange to have it automatically saved into your savings account each time you get paid. Visit your bank branch and ask a banker if you can set up automatic transfers into your savings account.
Go on a spending diet.
Avoid spending any money on non-essentials for 30 days and challenge yourself to save as much as you can to put toward your rainy day fund. __8__ Then make a list and determine not to spend on these items for one month.
A.Track your spending. B.Put your savings to work.
C.Do remember:Actions always speak louder than words. D.The important thing is to start saving now,no matter how little.
E.Treat your rainy day account like you'd treat any other financial obligation(债务). F.Review your budget at the end of every month and determine if your spending is in line with
your plan.
G.Review your budget and identify extra or non-essential expenses,such as eating out,shopping,entertainment,etc.
语篇导读 很多人承认自己的存款不足以应对不时之需。本文提出了以下建议,有助于您存钱。
4.解析:D 顺承关系。本段的中心话题就是存款从此时此刻开始。空后的“Save at least a small portion of each paycheck”与D项“no matter how little”相照应,即:承接小标题,同时又引起下文。
5.解析:A 总分关系。本段第一、二句在讲:关注你把钱花在什么地方了,2到3个月,监测自己的每一笔花费,无论多少。选项是本段的topic sentence,后文是它的具体说明,故A项符合题意。
6.解析:F 递进关系。本段讲了如何来记录自己的日常开销,制定了一个预算计划后,应在月底检查自己的花费是否与预算一致,故F项符合题意。
7.解析:E 总分关系。后文:如果你的目标是今年省5 000美元,计算出每月省出多少存到储蓄存款账户上,去开户行询问银行职员是否可以自动转存到储蓄存款账户上。就像每月还贷款那样,因此E项符合题意。
8.解析:G 顺承关系。本段第一句:一个月避免不必要的花销和尽可能省最多的钱。后面说到:然后列一个清单,并确定一个月不在这些项目上花费。G项(回顾你的预算,确定额外或者不必要的花费,比如外出就餐、购物和娱乐等。)承上启下。
