Maggie(W) David Bach(M)
Now, listen to Part One of the interview.
W: Many people dream of making it big, buying a bigger house, designer clothes and a nicer car, but with a record number of millionaires now living right here in the United States, an age-old question is now front and center—can money really buy happiness?(1)Best-selling author David Bach is a psychiatrist and a money advisor on CNBC’s The Millionaire Inside. Going from rags to riches, he says he found happiness but it wasn’t just about dollars and cents. Morning, David.
M: Good morning, Maggie.
W: What do you think that makes people happy then, if they have no money?
M:(2)Well, I think what most Americans really want is freedom.(3)We are in the land of the free, but when three out of four people are living paycheck to paycheck, they don’t feel free.(4)So I think there are a lot of opportunities for the average American to become what I call an automatic millionaire, which means paying yourself first, saving one hour a day of your income and spending less.
W: Do you mean that the people having different levels of life all have the same feeling?
M: Absolutely. You may have different levels of life.(5)You have the survival level, or someone really is living paycheck to paycheck. Then you have security, where someone as you might basically need to cover. Maybe they’ve got six months to a year with the expenses put aside. Once you get passed a year of expenses, you’ll start to become free.
W: You also say that happiness is not as simple as making more money.
M: Yes. The more money you have, the more you need to spend anyway. People don’t know how to keep their money. And people don’t know how to spend it wisely.
W: We spend so much time in our lives trying to make money. We must believe it’s going to bring us happiness. But the research you have ever done about it is kind of mixed, isn’t it?
This is the end of Part One of the interview. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
1. Which of the following is INCORRECT about David Bach?
2. What do most Americans want according to David Bach?
3. What percentage of people in the US are living under the pressure of money?
4. Which of the following is NOT the way for average Americans to become automatic millionaires?
5. What kind of people is living paycheck to paycheck?
选项
A、To pay yourself first.
B、To save one hour a day of your income.
C、To spend less money.
D、To avoid getting into debt.
答案
D
解析
本题设题点在定义概念处。根据句(4)可知,有许多机会可以让普通的美国人变成百万富翁,这意味着要优先支付给自己,每天将一个小时的收入存起来,并且还要少花钱,因此[D]为正确答案。
