Last year, I spoke at a gathering of wealthy male investors. The organizers posted the results of a survey showing that only a small percentage of wealthy men believed their wives spent too much.
"What?" shouted one【C1】______. "Those guys have to be lying. "
There is no【C2】______measure of who spends more among the rich: men or women. Both will say the other is the bigger spender.
A recent survey proves the point. The survey polled 40 women, each with a net worth of million or more. About half the respondents【C3】______their money, a quarter got it from their husbands and the other quarter earned it themselves. That is【C4】______in line with other surveys of wealthy women and the【C5】______of their money.
As for spending, almost all the women(90%)【C6】______their spending habits as " below their means. " The report on the survey said that is "possibly because they do not view their【C7】______wealth as defining their success. "
" Women tend not to spend as much as men and splash their names all over the place," said one woman in the survey, describing her spending as【C8】______and her lifestyle as " below the radar. "
At the same time, 70% of the women said they "buy nice things when necessary. " And 93. 5% of the women said they were responsible for making decisions on major buying, which【C9】______that they do a lot of the big spending.
Of course, for truly major buying, a house in Aspen, Colo. , a Gulfstream, a Feadship, the couple probably makes the decision together.
But what about other【C10】______? Do you think men or women do most of the high-end spending?
A)conditions I)potentially
B)conservative J)predicts
C)described K)purchases
D)displayed L)reliable
E)extreme M)roughly
F)implies N)sources
G)inherited O)valuable
H)participant
【C9】
选项
答案
F
解析
that前缺少一个动词。由原文可知,空格所在句是对前文内容的进一步说明。由于买大件都是由女性来决定,所以这就暗示了她们要经常花钱买大件,故空格处缺少表示“暗示”的词,implies与之相符。做决定对于实际行动应该是一种“暗示”,而不是“预示”,故排除predicts。

中国是个礼仪(amenity)之邦,凡事注重规矩。就拿喝酒来说,也有很多有意思的事儿。比如在宴席上,如果想表示对长辈或者上级的尊重,晚辈就会主动举杯敬酒(toast),在喝掉酒之前,两个人会碰一下酒杯表示亲近,碰杯的时候,晚辈举杯不能比长辈高,这表示尊重。
