    Investing in yourself

    Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.

    1.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.2. 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? 3.. 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. 4.. 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.5.. But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

    A. This is just one way.

    B. The benefits will stay with you.

    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. Of course, you need to do some research before investing.

    F. The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.

    G. When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.

    My 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.

    It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.

    In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.

    For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you，” said one of them.

    I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.

    1.The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.

    A. she watched the scene with her daughter

    B. the scene was very exciting and interesting

    C. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson

    D. the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children

    2.After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.

    A. didn’t get used to the change for a long time

    B. often cried as she missed her daughter so much

    C. realized she hadn’t done enough for her daughter

    D. failed to have a good sleep every night

    3.What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?

    A. Happiness. B. Anger.

    C. Sadness. D. Excitement.

    4.According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?

    A. To call her daughter any time.

    B. To wait for her daughter’s calls.

    C. To say good night to her daughter.

    D. To wait for her daughter’s messages.
