M: Welcome to the book club. Today’s guest is Susan Lane, the author of a new book on personal finances that has already sold half a million copies. Hi, Susan, your book is extremely successful. Why do you think that is?
W: I think that’s because of my message, which is making happiness a priority over money. So many of us in my generation have spent decades trying to earn more money just to consume more, but it made us more miserable.
M: You yourself were once caught in that cycle, working for two decades as an executive and earning a high salary, but still accumulating debt.
W: I most certainly was. I earned millions, but by the time I quit my job four years ago to become a writer, I owed over 30,000 dollars.
M: So how did you escape that pattern? And what would you advise other people to do?
W: The first change isn’t what we value. We need to emphasize things that actually make us happy, like relationships, the environment, or even our hobbies. Once we make the right things of our priority, our goals will change, and so will our financial behavior.
M: How does that translate into practical action? Can you give our audience examples of what you’re talking about on an everyday basis?
W: The major areas for action are usually housing, food and transportation. So, people might share a home with friends instead of living on their own, bring lunch from home instead of going to restaurants, and use public transport instead of owning a car.
M: Those sound like major sacrifices. I could never share my home. I need my own space.
W: But they aren’t sacrifices. When people change their values, their desires change. So in the example of housing, if we value relationships, sharing a home isn’t depriving ourselves of space, but giving us an opportunity to spend more time with our loved ones.
M: Indeed it is.
1.What message does the woman convey in her book?
2.What do we learn about the woman before she became a writer?
3.What does the woman say about one’s financial behavior?
4.What does the man say about sharing a home?
选项
A、It reflects one’s earning power.
B、It varies with one’s environment.
C、It mirrors one’s sense of wellbeing.
D、It changes with one’s goals in life.
答案
D
解析
本题问女士如何看待一个人的财务行为。女士提到,一旦我们把正确的事情作为我们的优先事项,我们的目标就会改变,我们的财务行为也会改变。只有D项“它随着一个人的生活目标而改变”与录音相符。A项“它反映了一个人的挣钱能力”、B项“它随一个人的环境而变化”和C项“它反映了一个人的幸福感”均未在录音中提及。
