问题 What is the first guideline to investing according to the speaker?
  
Hi, I’m George Boros. Have you always wanted to invest, but didn’t know where to get started? We’re here today to present you with three basic guidelines to smart investing, for your future.
    Number one is to have clear goals. Decide how many years you will invest for, and what your needs will be in the future.
    Number two is to understand the range of possibilities. You’ll want a diversified portfolio: one with a mix of stocks, mutual funds, bonds and cash. It’s a jungle out there. Each of these products has different risks associated with them and also different potential rewards. Understand them before you buy, so there won’t be any big surprises later.
    Finally, number three is to have realistic expectations. As our friend Leonardo da Vinci said in the year 1500 :"He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year."
    Over the past several years, New York stocks have averaged 30% annual returns, but don’t count on this continuing. While it’s true that since the year 1900, stocks have averaged an 11% annual return, it’s a roller-coaster ride with many minus years as well, so you have to stay in for the long term—you have to weather the storm—and not be too greedy.
    Well, let’s get started and Happy hunting! For FNN, this is George Boros reporting.

选项 A、the market has both ups and downs
B、you can earn bigger guaranteed returns
C、30% returns can be achieved with the right stocks
D、you won’t earn any money if not

答案A

解析 本题测试对隐含信息的推测理解能力。根据文中的相关信息,特别是关键信息,如“it’s a roller-coaster ride with many minus years”等可知,虽然整体上股票的投资收益达到了11%,但仍有很多年是亏损的,因此不能贪婪,而要做好长期准备,所以正确答案为A。
