Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Wealth starts with a goal and saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy-bank strategy. There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. If you wished to climb a 4-kilometer mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb about 11 meters daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the 15,000 cost, you have to save 3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy-bank and then once a year put 1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after tax, you will have your trip money.
When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy-bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy-banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Some Europeans see a piggy-bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy-bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, yes, but you have to put something in it.
While piggy-banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money — college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a house, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, peel off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.
