听力原文:M: Do you think people today do a good job of planning for financial emergencies?

W: Well, I think most people want to have a secure future. Urn, however, the information they need, um, to achieve financial security isn't at their fingertips. OK, for example, well, they need to establish their goals, for instance, how much money do you need to live, what would be a basic amount that you need to live? They have to take things like whether they want to pay for their children to go to college, which college they're going to go to, and many people in the baby boomer group are faced with having to care for a parent, which is an added expense and has to be, urn, considered in any future financial decision.

M: Then how much money do you think people need to save for themselves?

W: Well, the thing is, you should have 3 ~ 6 months of monthly salary saved, so whatever your monthly salary is you should have enough to pay your expenses for 3 ~ 6 months without any income.

M: And then in addition to that, most of us need to plan for college, retirement, taking care of parents, etc. ?

W: Uh-huh. And the kinds of things that rise up unexpectedly, for example, like the water heater blowing up or the car not starting in the morning.

M: So, what's the biggest mistake people make?

W: Well, they tend to live from paycheck to paycheck. And when something unexpectedly occurs, if they don't have someone to help, they just go deeper and deeper into debt, you fall farther and farther behind in your payments. Or, it gets so bad that you lose everything, like what has happened to many people who are forced into homelessness and are there because their debts became overwhelming.

M: So, if you could give people one piece of advice to make their financial future more secure, what would you suggest?

W: Younger people often spend every last cent that they earn. After they pay their bills, they complain that there's nothing left over to save. The best advice I can give is to say "Pay yourself first". When you get your paycheck, save some portion of it, even $10 a week. That's giving up a movie, and one stop at a fast food restaurant. Let's say you start with $3,000, and you add $10 a week to that at a pretty reasonable rate of 13% a year. In 60 years you'll have 5.6 million dollars. That's pretty amazing, isn't it?

According to the woman, how much money should people save for themselves?

A.3 ~ 6 months of monthly salary.

B.13% of salary.

C.$10.

D.Not mentioned.

Moviegoers may think history is repeating itself this weekend. The summer's most anticipated film, Pearl Harbor, which has opened recently, painstakingly recreates the Japanese attack that drew the United States into World War II. But that isn't the film's only reminder of the past.

Harbor invites comparison to Titanic, the biggest hit of ail time. Like Titanic, Harbor heaps romance and action around a major historical event. Like Titanic, Harbor attempts to create popular global entertainment from a deadly real life. Like Titanic, Harbor costs a pretty penny and hopes to get in even more at the box office. Both Titanic and Pearl Harbor unseal their tales of love and tragedy over more than three hours. Both stories center on young passion, triangles of tension with one woman and two men: In Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio and Billy Zane compete for the love of the same woman, a high society type played by a British actress named Kate (Winslet). In Harbor, two pilots (Ben Affelck, Josh Hartnett) fall for the same woman, a nurse played by a British actress named Kate (Beckinsale).

The scenes of peril also have similarities. Harbor has a shot in which soldiers cling for dear life as the battleship USS Oklahoma capsizes. The moment is recalled of the Titanic's climactic sinking scene in which DiCaprio and Winslet hang from the ocean liner as half of the ship vertically plunges into the water. In Harbor, one of its stars floats atop a piece of debris in the middle of the night, much like Winslet's character does in Titanic. And the jaw dropping action of Titanic is matched by Harbor's 40 minute recreation of Dec. 7,1941 attack on the United States' Pacific Fleet. Both films spent heavily on special effects. Harbor director, Michael Bay, for example, says.he kept salaries down so more could be spent on the visuals. Both movies shot their ship sinking scenes at the same location: Fox Studios Baja in Mexico. Harbor's makers have even taken a Titanic-like approach to the soundtrack. The film includes one song, There You'll Be, performed by country music superstar Faith Hill. Titanic, which is one of the best selling soundtracks of all time, also had only one pop song: Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On.

"If Harbor becomes a major moneymaker, filmmakers may comb history books searching for even more historical romance action material," says a critic.

What are the two things that the author of this article tries 'to compare?

A.The attack on Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the Titanic.

B.Historical fiction movies and successful box office hits.

C.The movie Titanic and the on-show-movie Pearl Harbor.

D.Sinking boats and famous actors.
