when it comes to money. the findings, the first in a series of reports from natwest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before.university tuition fees(学费) are currently capped at 3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.in the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 percent failed to identify the cheapest. the young people also predicted that they would be earning on average 31,000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just 17,815. the teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than 10,000. average debts for graduates are 12,363.stephen moir, head of community investment at the royal bank of scotland group which owns natwest, said, “the more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively.”ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. they have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. nikki fairweather, aged 15, from st helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.56. which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?a. students understand personal finances differently.b. university tuition fees in england have been rising.c. teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.d. the students payback ability has become a major issue.57. the phrase “to raise the

financial planning is a required course at college.d. young people should become responsible adults.56-aadc when youre an employee of a company, no matter the size, its common to see co-workers promoted, or transferred to a different department. but there is another way to move aroundby creating a new position for yourself. i did this several years ago, though i wasnt actively looking for a different job. in 2007, i was hired at the transamerica life insurance company, as a customer service representative in the distributions services department. i processed requests for distributions from our annuity(养老金)policy holders around the country. someone might have forgotten to sign a form, for example, or might have omitted security information. to solve the problem, id mail the person a letter. the company had been through several combinations, so in our department alone we had a collection of about 140 templates(模板) for letters related to distributions. the longer i worked with the letters, the more i saw how they could be improved. some had overlapping information and could be combined. some had incorrect grammar or needed updating. i also noticed that industry terminology(专业术语) wasnt standard across all the versions. when i told my department supervisor about this in 2008, she agreed that the letters needed revamping. she said i should stop what id been doing and start the new work. in a relatively short time, i was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70. it was an informal job change until a managers meeting several months later. at that meeting, a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the divisions entire stock of 1,700 letters should be reviewed. my manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the jobme. the position was still considered temporary when i took on the extra tasks, but i was able to show that the work had value, and i was officially promoted and given a raise in november 2009.31. according to paragraph 1, which of the following statements is true?a .the author admired those who got a promotion in his company.b. the author tried his best to get a promotion in his companyc. the author was eager to seek another job.d. it is no surprise to see people around us change their positions.【答案】d 【解析】细节理解题。根据its common to see co-workers promoted, or transferred to a different department.可知看见我们周围的人们改变工作或职位是不奇怪的。故选d。32. which of the following problems with the letters is not mentioned in the passage?a. some information needed to be united. b. some informatio
