While most financial planners do give numbers，I don't think that's useful as people are living in different areas with different costs of living and have different needs and wants，which is why I suggest that people aim for financial independence。

What do you mean by financial independence?

00:11:09 说话者2:

Having investment income that's greater than monthly expenses?

00:11:12 说话者1:

That sounds risky to me。What if an accident happens or you get ill and need medical treatment?Shouldn't people have extra cash for emergencies?

00:11:24 说话者2:

Too many people spend their lives working on jobs they hate because they're afraid。So I counsel people to take risks。Retirement doesn't have to be permanent and if people need to they can go back to work。

00:11:38 说话者1:

But it's not always easy to get back into the workforce after an extended absence。

00:11:43 说话者2:

True，but if you keep current with your skills，you will be attracted to employers。Maybe。

00:11:49 说话者1:

But how can anyone save enough to retire by 40 when most people can't retire at 60。

Passage one，new research from america studies the role that the presence of individuals from different social or racial groups has in influencing consumers，food choices。This research found college students were more likely to choose healthy food in the presence of an observer of a different race as opposed to an observer from their own race。The same was true when they were with someone from a different university compared to someone from their own。Researchers say this was because participants anticipated more negative judgment from an outsider group。In contrast，they felt less judged by members of their own group。In one experiment，participants were offered the choice between candy and fruit as a snack when in the presence of an unknown student from their own university，only 12% of students selected the healthier option。However，this number was 31% when in the presence of an unknown student from another university，other experiments showed similar results based on racial group。What's the reason for this pattern?The study found that people feel judged to a larger extent by members of other groups。Because of this，they strategically use healthy food choices to make a positive impression。There have been many attempts to help consumers make healthier choices，but consumers often struggle to maintain a healthy diet。This research finds that one way to promote a healthy diet could be to advertise the social benefits of healthy choices。

00:15:52 说话者2:

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard。Question 16，what was the finding of the new research from america about consumers，food choices?Question 17，when did 31% of students in the experiment select the healthier option?Question 18，how could a healthy diet be promoted according to the findings of the new research?Passage two?For college students under pressure，a dog may be the best stress fighter around according to the finding of a recent study。It's a really powerful finding said patricia henry who led the study。Universities are doing a lot of great work trying to help students succeed academically，especially those who may be at risk due to a history of mental health issues or academic and learning issues。This study shows that traditional stress management approaches answers effective for this population compared with programs that focus on providing opportunities to interact with therapy dogs。The researchers measured executive functioning in the students involved in the study。Executive function is a term for the skills one needs to plan，organize，motivate，concentrate and memorize。These are skills students need to succeed in college。The research has found that students who were most at risk had the most improvements in executive functioning after interacting with therapy dogs。These results remained when researchers followed up 6 weeks later。Many universities provide academic stress management programs and workshops。These are traditionally very similar to college classes。They often talk about ways to get more sleep set goals or manage stress or anxiety。Pendry acknowledges these are really important topics and these workshops help typical students succeed，but they are less helpful for struggling students。Henry believes those students may experience the programs as another lecture，feel even more stressed。

Passage three，taking risks in business does not mean going into business blindly and then expecting great results。On the contrary，taking risks in entrepreneurship involves careful planning and hard work。Nobody can really be sure if risks will be met with success，no matter how calculated they may be。But this should not stop you from taking risks as risks are necessary if you want your business to succeed，some risks may not work out，but an optimistic risk taker will always look at failure as an opportunity to learn。The willingness to experiment with new ideas is key to business growth。As the old saying goes，nothing ventured，nothing gained。Failure will teach you how to think and plan strategically，but just remember that not all risks are good ones。And when you fail，learn from it and move forward。Since most people tend to avoid risk，businesses that are brave enough to take risks，already have a competitive advantage。They are the ones setting the standard with new ideas，fresh offers and bold inventions。Risk takers are best at adapting in difficult times，simply put when most individuals stay away from risk。It means less competition for risk takers。We don't know if you'll achieve what these risk takers have achieved。But for as long as you want to stay safe， for as long as you are content with where your business is right now，you will never find out。

00:21:57 说话者2:

As a student at the Foreign Languages School of [University Name],I am most impressed by the care our university shows to us students.

Given the damp and cold winters and burning hot sum-mers,the authorities have installed air conditioning units in all the dormitories,providing us with comfortable shelter from the extreme temperatures.Moreover,the canteens offer affordable set meals,ensuring that students on a tight budget don't have to worry exces-sively about living expenses and can save money for other necessities.Most notably,I am struck by the traffic control during rush hours to ensure student safety.During these times,vehicles are prohibited from usingthe routes students take to and from classroom buildings and dormitories.

To be frank,there are too many such examples to list intheir entirety.I am very proud to be a part of our university and would like to express my sincere gratitude for everything our university does for its students.

由于冬天潮湿寒冷，夏天酷热难耐，校方在所有宿舍都安装了空调，为我们提供了一个舒适的遮蔽处。此外，食堂提供实惠的套餐，确保预算紧张的学生不必 过分担心生活费用，可以节省其他必需品的钱。最值得注意的是，我对高峰时段的交通管制感到震惊，以确保学生的安全。在此期间，车辆禁止使用学生往返教学楼和宿舍的路线。

坦率地说，这样的例子太多了，无法一—列举。我很自豪能成为我们学校的一员，并对我们学校为学生所做的一切表示衷心的感谢。
