Investing in Yourself
Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task.This is something that you will want to learn.
Things that will improve your knowledge,skills or health are all great investments.However,before you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.
You may think investing in yourself means investing in your education. There are some other things you can do as well as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.
So what are some specific things you can do? Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge.I'm talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill,not fiction books.
You can also take courses and attend seminars.These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.
Moreover,investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money.Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment,that isn't 100% safe.Even if you never experience your bank closing down,the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration. But over time,they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.
A.The benefits will stay with you.
B.This is just one way.
C.If you aren't a reader,you should start with that.
D.The more you do this,the more valuable you will be.
E.The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.
F.Of course,you need to do some research before investing.
G.When you invest in yourself,you may not see gains right away.
(2023江西新余第一中学高二上学期开学考试)
I was born legally blind.Of all the stories of my early childhood,the one about a 1 ,is my mother's favorite.
I was only two when the 2 occurred.We had just arrived home from a trip.Mom lifted me out of the car and 3 to speak to the driver.I took advantage of my brief 4 to dash across the lawn(草坪)—and hit a large maple tree!I was running so fast that I bounced off the trunk and landed on my backside.Mom 5 me to start crying,but I just sat there for a minute.Then I 6 myself up and kept right on going.
Mom loves to use this story as an 7 .It reminds her that children don't enter life 8 to take risks or unwilling to 9 again when they fall down.She never wanted me to lose that toughness as I grew older.When I 10 my major life decisions,I was still that little girl tearing full-speed across the lawn.I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents' home to look for a 11 .Through years of 12 ,I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students.
We are almost certain to get 13 at some point during the process of achieving our goal.When that happens,don't sit in the grass and 14 .Just get up and keep on going.It will all be worth it 15 .
The Freshman Challenge
Going from junior high to senior high is really a big challenge for a freshman and the first week was a little (confuse).
First I had to think (care) about which courses I wanted (take).My head teacher helped me choose the (suit) ones.I know English is a very difficult course,but I will try (me) best to be fluent when I graduate.Mum advised that I should sign up for Chinese literature I'm good at.
The teacher says one way to know your school well and make more new friends is to join a club or play a sport.Our school offers (chance) to join different clubs.I joined a volunteer club.Every Wednesday,we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to (home) people in the community.
I know I'll have to study harder a senior high school student and get used to (be) responsible for a lot more.I'm a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course.Still,I'm happy to be here.Studying hard isn't always fun,but I'll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.
