This chart shows how much money Americans have in savings at every age.

The typical American household has an average of $ 8,863 in an account at a bank or credit

union, according to a recent report from Bankrate that analyzed inflation-adjusted data from the

Federal Reserve. That’s purely in liquid savings, so it doesn’t include retirement funds or other

investments. However, that amount varies greatly by age and household type.

Savings vary widely by household type and age

For many families, this amount of savings falls short, some experts warn. “The ultimate

destination should be enough to cover six months’ expenses, perhaps 9 to 12 months for sole

breadwinners or self-employed individuals,” Greg McBride, CFA and chief financial analyst for

Bankrate, com, says in the report.

“Here’s the thing with emergency money: More is always better,” best-selling author and co-

founder of AE Wealth Management David Bach tells CNBC Make It. “You hear all the time experts

say, you should have three months of expenses set aside. Well, it depends. In the recession, when

people lost their jobs, three months of expenses set aside wasn’t enough.”

Meanwhile, other research has found that 60 percent of millennials don’t have enough money

to cover a $ 1,000 emergency.

In addition to building your emergency fund, you should aim to put around 15 percent of your

income towards retirement savings, according to the financial services company Fidelity.

If you want to put more away each month, start by cutting back on Americans? three biggest

expenses: housing, transportation and food. You can also research ways to trim (削减) your budget

and look into strategies for boosting your income.

1. According to the chart, for those between 35 and 44, who have the most in savings?

A. Singles with children. B. Singles without children.

C. Couples with children. D. Couples without children.

2. According to Greg McBride, at least how much money should be set aside for a family with only

one person who earns money?

A. 3 months’ expenses. B. 6 months’ expenses.

C. 9 months’ expenses. D. 12 months’ expenses.

3. Which column of a newspaper is this article probably from?

A. Business and trade. B. Saving and investing.

C. Health and wellness. D. Employment and retirement.

Quite often, no matter how good you are, your success is dependent on how other people such as

your boss, peers, clients and customers perceive your communication and responses.

So, when you come to people who make the key difference between helping you or holding you

back, how can you influence and persuade them to give what you want?

Psychological research repeatedly shows that people generally make up their minds whether to

help or hinder you, based on whether they like you or not. It is human nature. What can you do about

it? You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want.

Research again shows that people give opportunities to the people they like best. In fact, most people

make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less of meeting someone. These

are called first impressions or “moments of truth”.

Once they make up their minds, they tend to be very reluctant to change their opinions. You

hardly have room for error when making a first impression on a new acquaintance. Therefore, whether

you are applying for a job, going for an interview, attending a meeting with your boss or peers, or

serving a customer, you need to prepare yourself mentally and rehearse how you will manage the first

few minutes of your interaction. This includes doing your homework to gather information and

researching all possible issues so you will know how to address them if the other party should raise

them unexpectedly.

It is amazing how poorly some people can come across at the beginning. The worst thing is that

they do not even seem to realize it. Despite having good qualifications and excellent work

performance, the candidates cannot be excused from trying to make good first impressions.

4. Which of the following is the way people tend to decide whether to like other people or not?

A. They make quick decisions.

B. They change their opinions frequently.

C. They prefer people who are experienced.

D. They pay much attention to good qualifications.

5. Which of the following strategies might help in an interview according to the author?

A. Show your friendliness and confidence.

B. Ask the interviewers for homework to do.

C. Know as much as possible about the situation.

D. Do something unexpected to impress the interviewers.

6. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Making a good first impression. B. Approaches to applying for a job.

C. People making the key difference. D. Winning strategies for a job interview.

7. What will probably be talked about in the next part of the passage?

A. Questions that might be asked by the interviewers.

B. How to win over people who don’t like you at first.

C. Examples of how good first impressions help people succeed.

D. Some specific advice on how to make a good first impression.

It seems like people today are more easily offended than ever before. If smoking in an elevator

or talking in a movie theater were normal in the past, they are considered to be rude today. We used

to be obliged to answer whatever questions a family elder asked, but now when a prying relative asks

about our test grades or dream university – information that we’d rather keep to ourselves – we feel

offended, even if they mean well.
