While most financial planners do give numbers，I don't think that's useful as people are living in different areas with different costs of living and have different needs and wants，which is why I suggest that people aim for financial independence。

00:11:05 說話者1:

What do you mean by financial independence?

00:11:09 說話者2:

Having investment income that's greater than monthly expenses?

00:11:12 說話者1:

That sounds risky to me。What if an accident happens or you get ill and need medical treatment?Shouldn't people have extra cash for emergencies?

00:11:24 說話者2:

Too many people spend their lives working on jobs they hate because they're afraid。So I counsel people to take risks。Retirement doesn't have to be permanent and if people need to they can go back to work。

00:11:38 說話者1:

But it's not always easy to get back into the workforce after an extended absence。

00:11:43 說話者2:

True，but if you keep current with your skills，you will be attracted to employers。Maybe。

00:11:49 說話者1:

But how can anyone save enough to retire by 40 when most people can't retire at 60。

simple by cutting housing food and transport expenses and investing half your monthly income?

00:12:01 說話者1:

That sounds impossible。

Passage one，new research from america studies the role that the presence of individuals from different social or racial groups has in influencing consumers，food choices。This research found college students were more likely to choose healthy food in the presence of an observer of a different race as opposed to an observer from their own race。The same was true when they were with someone from a different university compared to someone from their own。Researchers say this was because participants anticipated more negative judgment from an outsider group。In contrast，they felt less judged by members of their own group。In one experiment，participants were offered the choice between candy and fruit as a snack when in the presence of an unknown student from their own university，only 12% of students selected the healthier option。However，this number was 31% when in the presence of an unknown student from another university，other experiments showed similar results based on racial group。What's the reason for this pattern?The study found that people feel judged to a larger extent by members of other groups。Because of this，they strategically use healthy food choices to make a positive impression。There have been many attempts to help consumers make healthier choices，but consumers often struggle to maintain a healthy diet。This research finds that one way to promote a healthy diet could be to advertise the social benefits of healthy choices。

00:15:52 說話者2:

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard。Question 16，what was the finding of the new research from america about consumers，food choices?Question 17，when did 31% of students in the experiment select the healthier option?Question 18，how could a healthy diet be promoted according to the findings of the new research?Passage two?For college students under pressure，a dog may be the best stress fighter around according to the finding of a recent study。It's a really powerful finding said patricia henry who led the study。Universities are doing a lot of great work trying to help students succeed academically，especially those who may be at risk due to a history of mental health issues or academic and learning issues。This study shows that traditional stress management approaches answers effective for this population compared with programs that focus on providing opportunities to interact with therapy dogs。The researchers measured executive functioning in the students involved in the study。Executive function is a term for the skills one needs to plan，organize，motivate，concentrate and memorize。These are skills students need to succeed in college。The research has found that students who were most at risk had the most improvements in executive functioning after interacting with therapy dogs。These results remained when researchers followed up 6 weeks later。Many universities provide academic stress management programs and workshops。These are traditionally very similar to college classes。They often talk about ways to get more sleep set goals or manage stress or anxiety。Pendry acknowledges these are really important topics and these workshops help typical students succeed，but they are less helpful for struggling students。Henry believes those students may experience the programs as another lecture，feel even more stressed。

Passage three，taking risks in business does not mean going into business blindly and then expecting great results。On the contrary，taking risks in entrepreneurship involves careful planning and hard work。Nobody can really be sure if risks will be met with success，no matter how calculated they may be。But this should not stop you from taking risks as risks are necessary if you want your business to succeed，some risks may not work out，but an optimistic risk taker will always look at failure as an opportunity to learn。The willingness to experiment with new ideas is key to business growth。As the old saying goes，nothing ventured，nothing gained。Failure will teach you how to think and plan strategically，but just remember that not all risks are good ones。And when you fail，learn from it and move forward。Since most people tend to avoid risk，businesses that are brave enough to take risks，already have a competitive advantage。They are the ones setting the standard with new ideas，fresh offers and bold inventions。Risk takers are best at adapting in difficult times，simply put when most individuals stay away from risk。It means less competition for risk takers。We don't know if you'll achieve what these risk takers have achieved。But for as long as you want to stay safe， for as long as you are content with where your business is right now，you will never find out。

00:21:57 說話者2:

questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard。Question 22。What do entrepreneurs have to do when taking risks according to the passage?Question 23。What does the passage say is key to business growth?Question 24。What are we advised to do when we fail?Question 25。What does it mean to risk taking businesses when most people tend to avoid risk?

Suppose your university newspaper is inviting submissions from students for its coming edition on the recent development of their hometown.

I was born and raised in Changsha,the capital city ofHunan Province.Recently,it has witnessed significant improvements.

To begin with,the city's infrastructure has undergone significant upgrades.New roads,bridges,and public transportation systems have greatly improved connec-tivity,making it easier for residents to commute and access essential services.Moreover,green spaces have been expanded,with numerous parks and gardens providing a much-needed respite from bustling city life.Finally,new schools and universities have been estab-lished,offering a wide range of educational opportunities for the city's youth.

In conclusion,these recent developments have trans-formed Changsha into a vibrant city.I hope to see even more innovation in the city in the years to come.

英語四級考試注意什么

先易后難，增強自信心 要先做基本題，再做中檔題，最后做綜合題;或者先做自己擅長的題，最后再集中精力去做難題。

做題時要避免兩種不良傾向 一是思想靜不下來，心神不定，不知從哪個題目做起，誤了時間;二是在某一題上花過多的時間，影響做其他題目。(心不靜時有個好辦法，那就是使勁掐自己一下，呵呵)

力求準確，防止欲速不達 對答題速度的追求，應該建立在保證準確性的基礎(chǔ)之上。如果對試題的要求、解答方案、解題步驟胸有成竹時，便可一氣呵成。

卷面整潔，不讓扣分 答卷字跡工整，書寫規(guī)范美觀，會引起閱卷老師愉悅感，增加評定的分數(shù);反之則會導致印象不好而扣分(特別是作文)。

盡量做完試題，分分必爭 要做到會多少答多少，即使是沒有把握也要敢于寫，碰碰運氣也無妨。在標準化考試中，敢于猜測的考生有時也會取得較好的分數(shù)。

認真檢查，把好最后一關(guān) 要檢查試卷要求、檢查答題思路、檢查答題結(jié)果，千萬不要提前交卷。
