任务型阅读 If your parents will retire soon, to live comfortably in retirement, you need to persuade them to save until it hurts. They may think they can't afford to save or fear losing money to bad investments (投资), but they have to overcome those fears, because a financially (财政上) secure future will be up to them.  They can start by saving as little as $10 a paycheck or putting away half their next rise. A small amount of money can produce massive amounts of wealth over time. People used not to worry about saving for their later years because many had pensions, and they didn't live as long as people do now. But they can no longer count on their employers, partly because the employers might not be able to afford their pensions, and most people don't stay with one employer. Consequently, they should depend on themselves for retirement. You can advise them to start by contributing 1% of their pay. If the 1% contribution hurts, then they can stay at that level until it doesn't hurt any more. If it doesn't hurt, then increase their contribution (by another 1%.) Do that until it hurts. They just ask for a small cup of coffee instead of a large cup in the coffee house or they can try to skip drinking soda daily at lunch. In time they will benefit a lot from today's efforts when they retire. A. They can start small. B. The key is getting started. C. But believe you can make it. D. Many people change jobs every few years. E. It's easy to cut a dollar a day from most budgets. F. People give lots of excuses for not saving for retirement. G. Some seniors are confident that they will be supported by their children. 答案：【1】F【2】B【3】D【4】A【5】E
