How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there weren't enough staff on duty to man all the service grilles or checkout counters？ Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to recruit cashiers and counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at higher prices, claim that unshrounding all their cash registers at any one time would increase overheads. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service grilles to be occupied "at times when demand is low".
It's the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining moms close earlier or menu choice is curtailed. As for us guests (and how the meaning of that word has been whittled away), we just have to put up with it. There's also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been phased out in the interests of "efficiency" (i. e. profits) and replaced by coin guzzling machines which dispense everything from lager to laxatives. Not to mention the creeping menace of the tea-making kit in your room: a kettle with an assortment of teabags, plastic milk cartons and lump sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag？ I don't , especially when I am paying for "service".
Can it be halted, this erosion of service, this growing attitude that the customer is always a nuisance？ I fervently hope so because it's happening, sadly, in all walks of life.

A portfolio is simply a collection of financial assets. It may include real estate, rare stamps and coins,, precious metals and even artworks. But those are for people with expertise. What most of us need to know about are stocks, bonds and cash (including such cash equivalents as money market funds). How do you decide what part of your portfolio should go to each of the big three？ Begin by understanding that stocks pay higher returns but are more risky; bonds and cash pay lower returns but are less risky.
Research by Ibbotson Associates, for example, shows that large company stocks, on average, have returned 11.2 percent annually since 1926. Over the same period, by comparison, bonds have returned an annual aver age of 5.3 percent and cash, 3.8 percent. But short term risk is another matter. In 1974, a one year $ I000 investment in the stock market would have declined to $ 735.
With bonds, there are two kinds of risk: that the borrower won't pay you back and that the money you '11 get won't be worth very much. The U.S. government stands behind treasury bonds, so the credit risk is almost nil. But the inflation risk remains. Say you buy a $1000 bond maturing in ten years, ff inflation averages about seven percent over that time, then the
$1000 you receive at maturity can only buy $ 500 worth of today's goods.
With cash, the inflation risk is lower, since over a long period you can keep rolling over your CDs every year (or more often). If inflation rises, interest rates rise to compensate.
As a result, the single most important rule in building a portfolio is this: If you don't need the money for a long time, then put it into stocks, If you need it soon, put it into bonds and cash.
This passage is intended to give advice on ______.
A．how to avoid inflation risks
B．what kinds of bonds to buy
C．how to get rich by investing in stock market
D．how to become richer by spreading the risk
