always moreimportantthan the amount you earn or how shrewdly you invest.If you are under 30yearsold,your goal should be to save 20%of your monthly income after taxdeductions.This is irrespective of how much you earn.Approximately 50%shouldbe reserved for the essential like food and accommodation.Throughmainly 30%isfor recreation and entertainment.But for many young people,itll bedifficultto designate such a large proportion of their income for savings.If you find it hard to save any money at all,start up bycuttingallunnecessary spending,allocate at a tiny amount of 1 or 2 percent forsavings,and gradually increase that amount.Always keep that 20%goal in mindforprevent yourself from becoming complacent.It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan.But if youadopt theright mindset,you should be able to make it work for you.So,what should you be doing with the money that you saving?Somemust bekept easily accessible in case you need some cash in emergency.Thelargestproportion should be invested retirement plans.Either for the youngemployer orprivately.And you can keep some money for high risk but potentiallylucrativeinvestments.Dividends can be re-invested or used to purchase somethingyoulike.By following this plan,you should hopefully be able to enjoy yourlifenow,and still be financially secure in future.Q9 What are people under 30 advised to do to achieve financialsecurity?Q10 What should people do if they find difficult to follow thisspeakersadvice on their financial plan?Q11 What does the speaker think is important for achieving financialsecurity?Passage 2I work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends,mainlybecause Im aware that we live in an image-obsessed world.However,when I firststarted my job,occasionally Id catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts,andfind myself thinking that I looked a total mess.Was I being held backby mychoice of clothing?The sure answer is yes,especially when clients arequick tojudge you on your style rather than your work.But no one can be uniquewiththeir outfit every day.I mean thats whyuniforms were invented.So,hereswhat I did.I created my own uniform.To do this,I chose an appropriateoutfit.Then I bought multiple items of the same style in differentshades.Now,Inever worry about what Im wearing in the morning even if I do getabit tiredof just wearing the same classic pieces.Overall,when it comes to work,youhave to ask yourself:will looking smarter enhance my ability to do myjob?Forsome,this question may not be an issue at all.Especially if you workremotelyand rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face.But if your jobinvolvesinteracting with other people,the answer to this is often yes.Sorather thanfinding a system,I think we should just do whatever help us to achieveourgoals that work.If that means playing a safe with your image,thenlets faceit.Its probably worth it.Q12:What do we learn about the speaker when she first started herjob?Q13:Why were uniforms are invented according to the speaker?Q14:What does the speaker say about looking smarter?Q15:What does the speaker advise people do in an image obsessedworld?Section CPassage 1Im here to suggest an alternative that having less,mightactually be apreferable decision.Many of us have experienced,at some stage,thepleasure ofpossessing less.I propose that less stuff and less space can not onlyhelp youeconomize,but also simplify your life.I recently started aninnovativeprojectto discover some creative solutions that offered me everything Irequired.Bypurchasing an apartment that was 40 square meters instead of 60,Iadmittedlysaved$200,000.Smaller space leads to reduce utility bills,and also asmallercarbon footprint.Because it is designed around an edited collection ofpossessions,limited to my favorite stuff,Im really excited to livethere.I combined a movable wall with transforming furniture to get moreout of mylimited space.Consider my coffee table.It increases in size toaccommodateten.My office is tugged away,easily hidden.My bed simply pops out thewall.For gas,I can relocate the movable wall and utilize the foldable guestbeds Iinstalled.Q 16:What has prevented Americans happiness levels fromincreasing?Q 17:What things should we possess according to the speaker?Q 18:What do we learn about the items in the speakers home?Passage 2Picture this scenario:You often drive for work and can becompensated forup to 400 miles per month.Most people at your company drive about 300mileseach month.But this month,you drove 400 miles.How many miles do youthinkyoud claim in your expense report?The scientist asked this exact question as part of the study werediscussing today.With surprising results,they found that 12%ofrespondentsreported the distance they drove as less than the actual figure,givinganaverage answer of 384 miles.In other words,they lied about theirnumber ofmiles,even though they would forfeit money they were owed.The researchers believe this was to seem honest,with the assumptionbeingthat others would be suspicious of a high expense claim.But why wouldpeoplefabricate numbers to their own detriment?The researchers explained thatmanypeople carry a great deal about their reputation and how theyllbejudged byothers.If they care enough,they concerned about appearing honest andnotlosing their respect of others.Maybe greater than their desire toactually behonest.The researchers assert that they find a new suggest that when peopleobtainvery favorable outcomes.They anticipate other peoples suspiciousreactions andprefer lying and appearing honest to telling the truth and appearing asselfishliars.So why is this research important?Well,experts generally agreedthere aretwo main types of lie,selfish liars and liars that are meant tobenefitothers.The first,as you may predict,is for selfish gain,such as submitting afraudulent claim to an insurance company,while the second involveslying tohelp others or not offend others.For example,telling a friend whoseoutfit youdont like that they look great.But the researchers are suggesting a third type of lying,lying tomaintaina good reputation.Now this hypothesis is new and some skepticsarguethat thisisnt a whole new category of lie.The findings seem intuitive to me.After all,one of the mainmotivationsfor lying is to increase our worth in the eyes of others,so it seemshighlylikely that people will lie to seem honest.Q19:What did the team of scientist find in their study?Q20:Why would people fabricate numbers to their own detrimentaccording tothe researchers?Q21:What does the speaker think of the researchers findings?Passage 3There could be a biological explanation for this,as theresevidence thatthe brains ability to make subtle distinctions between differentchords,rhythms,and melodies deteriorates with age.So to older people,newer,lessfamiliar songs might all“sound the same.”But there re maybe some simpler reasons for older peoplesaversion tonewer music.One of the most researched laws of social psychology issomethingcalled the“mere exposure effect.”,which in essence means that themore wereexposed to something,the more we tend to like it.(24)This happens with people we know,the advertisements we see and,thesongswe listen to.Of course,those teen years werent necessarily carefree.Theyrefamouslyconfusing,which is why so many TV shows and movies revolve around thehighschool turmoil.Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we experienceas teensseem more intense than those that come later.And we also know thatintenseemotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences.Both ofthesemight explain why the songs we listen to during this period become somemorableand beloved.(25)So theres nothing wrong with your parents because they dont likeyourmusic.Rather its all part of the natural order of things.22.What does the speaker mainly discuss in this talk?24.What was observed about the mice on the 11th day of theexperiment?25.What did the scientists find about the mice from theexperiment?听力答案:1.B)Her claim has been completely
