Investment (投资) is a key way for business to grow and for investors to make money. But there are two types of risk (风险) related to investment. One risk is that if the company you invest in fails, you will lose everything. The other type of risk is how much the value of your investment can change. Some investments swing (波动) wildly: one month they are worth four times what you put in, the next month they are worth only one quarter of the money you invested in.

How Much Will Auto Insurance Cost？
Driver are grouped according to the level of risk each one poses-that is, the amount paid by insurers in each category of policyholders. Insurance companies group drivers in the following way :
Sex: Men have more accidents on the road than women.
Age: Drivers under 25(and for some insurers, under30)are considered more likely to have an accident.
Marital Status: Married drivers tend to have fewer accidents than single drivers.
Personal Driving Record: Years of driving experience , accidents, speeding tickets and drunk-driving offenses are all factors in determining how much of a risk you pose as a motorist.
How You Use Your Vehicle: If you commute by car during rush hour, you are at greater risk of having an accident than if you only drive for errands and recreation on the weekends. Drivers who use their own vehicles for business also are considered to be at a greater risk.
Types of Vehicles: The value, size, weights, age of your vehicle, even the cost of replacement parts are essential to determining the price of your insurance. Larger, heavier vehicles are considered at lower risk than smaller, lighter ones. More expensive cars are costlier to have repaired than economy models so the premium is higher.
Which of the following car damage can be covered by the Comprehensive？
A．Broken window caused by storm
B．Destroyed seats after an earthquake
C．Deformed door after a collision
D．Flat tire cut by a malicious guy
听力原文：M: Hi, Nancy. Could I borrow some money until payday？
W: Uh, yeah, I guess. How are things going anyway？
M: Well, not very well. I've used my credit cards to pay off a lot of things recently, but now, I can't seem to pay the money off.
W: Uh, do you have a budget？ I mean, how do you keep track of your income and expenses？
M: No, but I guess I should have some financial plans.
W: Well, let me see if I can help you. How much money do you spend on your apartment？
M: Uh, I pay $890 on rent for the studio apartment downtown, not including utilities and cable TV. But the place has an awesome view of the city.
W: Uh, $890! Why are you paying so much for such a small place, when you could find a cheaper one somewhere outside of the downtown area？
M: Yeah, I guess.
W: How much money do you spend on entertainment a month？
M: Well, I spend a few dollars here and there on basketball and movie tickets, a concert or two, and ballroom dance lessons.
W: Uh, exactly how much do you spend on all of these？
M: Well, oh...about $400.
W: No wonder you're having money problems. You can't just blow your money on things like that! And what about transportation？
M: Oh, I commute to work everyday in my new sports car, but I got a great deal, and my monthly payments are only $450.
W: Well, I think you've got to reduce your spending, or you'll end up broke. I suggest you get rid of your credit cards, cut down on your entertainment expenses, and sell your car. Take public transportation from now on.

Walk a Quarter-Mile or Die
If you can walk a quarter-mile, odds (可能性) are you have at least six years of life left in you, scientists say. And the faster you can (51) it, the longer you might live.
While walking is no guarantee of (52) or longevity (长寿), a new study found that the ability of elderly people to do the quarter-mile was an "important determinant (决定因素) " in whether or not they'd be (53) six years later and how much illness and disability they would endure.
"The (54) to complete this walk was a powerful predictor of health outcomes. " said study leader Anne Newman of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. " In fact, we (55) that the people who could not complete the walk were (56) an extremely high risk of later disability and death. "
Newman and colleagues recruited nearly 2,700 white and African-American men and women aged 70 to 79 to (57) the walk. All the participants were screened and determined to be in relatively (58) health, and they had all said they had previously walked that far with no (59) . Only 86 percent of them finished, (60) .
The scientists then monitored the health and mortality of all (61) for the next six years. "There was a big gap in health outcomes (62) people who could complete the longer walk and people who could not, with the latter being at an extremely high (63) of becoming disabled or dying. " Newman said. "What was really surprising is that these people were not (64) of how weak they actually were. "
Finishing times were found to be crucial, too. Those who completed the walk but were among the slowest 25 percent (65) three times greater risk of death than the speedier folks.

"However willing your mom might seem, it's up to you to figure out how much she can really handle," says Meredith Minkler, DrPH, a public-health professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and an expert on grandparents as caregivers.

It's interesting to note that insurance has existed in some form. for a very long time. The earliest insurance policies provided shipping protection for merchants as far back as 3000 B. C.
In general, the contracts were often no more than verbal agreements. They granted loans to merchants with the understanding that if a particular shipment of goods was lost at sea, the loan didn't have to be repaid. Interest on the loans varied according to how risky it was to transport the goods. During periods of heavy piracy at sea, for example, the amount of interest and the cost of the policy went up considerably. So, you can see how insurance helped encourage international trade. Even the most cautious merchants became willing to risk shipping their goods over long distances-not to mention in hazardous weather conditions-when they had this kind of protection available.
Generally speaking, the basic form. of an insurance policy has been pretty much the same since the Middle Ages. There are four points that were prominent then and remain dominant in all policies today. These were outlined in chapter six and will serve as the basis for the rest of today's discussion.

Over the past 20 years, there has been an increase in building along the coast, even though geologists and environmentalists have been warning communities about problems like erosion. Someway, communities have tried to protect their buildings and roads and to build seawalls.
However, geologists have found that such stabilizing structures actually speed up the destruction of the beaches. These beaches with seawalls, called stabilized beaches, are much narrower than beaches without them. You may wonder how seawalls speed up beach loss. The explanation is simple. If the flow of the beaches is gentle, the water energy is lessened as it washes up along the shore. It is reduced even more that. returns to the sea so it doesn't carry back much sand. On the other hand, when the water hits the nearly vertical face of the seawall, it goes straight back to the sea with the full force of its energy and it carries back a great deal of sand. Because of the real risk of losing beaches, many geologists support a ban on all types of stabilizing construction on shorelines.
