问题     During her junior year of high school, Candice Backus’s teacher handed her a sheet and instructed the 17-year-old to map out her future financial life. Backus pretended to buy a car, rent an apartment, and apply for a credit card. Then, she and her classmates played the "stock market game, " investing the hypothetical(假设的)earnings from their hypothetical jobs in the market in the fateful fall of 2008. "Our pretend investments crashed , "Backus says, still horrified. " We felt what actual shareholders were feeling. "
    That pain of earning and losing money is a feeling that public school increasingly want to teach. Forty states now offer some types of financial instruction at the elementary or high-school level, including lessons in balancing checkbooks(支票本)and buying stock in math and social-studies classes. The interest in personal-finance classes has risen since 2007 when bank failures became a regular occurrence.
    Rather than teach investment strategies, these courses offer a basic approach to handling money: Don’t spent what you don’t have. Put part of your monthly salary into a saving account, and invest in the stock market for the long-term rather than short-term gains. For Backus, this means dividing her earnings from her part-time job at a fast-food restaurant into separate envelopes for paying bills, spending, and saving. " Money is so hard to make but so easy to spend, "she says one weekday after school.
    After Backus finished her financial classes, she opened up a savings account at her local bank and started to think more about how she and her family would pay for college. "She just has a better understanding of money and how it affects the world ," says her mother, Darleen. All of this talk of money can make Backus worry, she says, but luckily, she feels prepared to face it.
After Candice Backus completed the class about money, she______.
选项 A、is debt free
B、manages the family income
C、will graduate early
D、feels more competent
答案D
解析 推断题。还是与本试卷第二题类似，此题正确选项也是对原文的同义替换。正确选项D用“more competent(更有能力应对)”同义替换了原文最后一句中的“feels preparedto face it(觉得已经做好了准备)”，属典型的文字游戏题。
