听力原文: It's no secret that throughout history common stock has outperformed most financial instruments. If an investor plans to have an investment for a long period of time, then their portfolio should be comprised mostly of stocks ; however, investors who don't have this kind of time should diversify their portfolios. For this reason, the concept of "asset allocation" was developed. Asset allocation is an investment portfolio technique that aims to balance risk and create diversification by dividing assets among major categories. The underlying principle of asset allocation is that the older a person gets, the less risk he or she should face. After you retire you may have to depend on your savings as your only source of income.

听力原文: Mothers are increasingly fed up with jobs that do not allow them to spend enough time with their children. So instead, they are starting their own business. The number of women working for themselves has increased by nearly 20% since 2000, according to official figures, and now tops a million. And an opinion poll commissioned by the government shows that the most significant factor in the increase is a desire among women for a better balance between work and family life. The biggest motivation for doing it alone—according to 70% of those polled--was to be able to work more flexibly. Three out of four said that their work and family life balance was better when they ran their own business.

She gives her staff time to look after their kids too. Most of her team are parents and they back up her claim.
Why are mothers fed up with their jobs?
A.Because the jobs are difficult.
B.Because the jobs make them have little time for their children.
C.Because their children and family are in trouble.

In fact, the artist herself says that they remind her of artifacts found in an
archaeological dig. The analogy becomes clear when looking at her current installation at the Robischon Gallery in Denver. As single items, the shapes are marvelous small sculptures. But placed in relationship to each other, the metaphors they evoke are endless depending only on the imagination of the viewer. The fact that the objects remind us of tools as much as they do of organic and aesthetic objects reinforces the archaeological metaphor.
"This work is a tremendous departure from what I've been doing for the last 17 years," Leodas says. "There are a lot of connections, but the transitions are really important to me. I was doing these large vessels up to three feet in diameter. There are some similarities between the old and the new work in what the forms are about -- classic, simple, elegant, unadorned work. The vessels, though, are intensely glazed in jewel-like tones."
"People like to make reference to my Aegean heritage -- the deep underwater blue and green. For me, it was a process of refinement, trying to make the perfect one. I worked with only six or seven forms, and I dealt with balance and proportion. For example, if I was working with an oval shape. I would do it tall and narrow or wide and short -- playing with proportion that way."
There came a point, however, when she reached the end of her experiments with vessels, when she had done everything she needed to do with that application of her medium.
"I knew I had to change what I was doing, but I had no idea how. After the buildup of my reputation, it was just like being a baby."
"These new forms are all closed -- as opposed to a vessel, where I am thinking about inside-outside, containing space. This body of work was a tremendous outpouring I did not plan at all. I did not plan or think about how one was leading to the next one. I just made them..."
Leodas says these objects have been influenced by her love of tools. "When I was thinking about the new work, I went to a blacksmith friend's shop, pulled out his tools, and photographed them. There is just something about the well-made tool that really does its job..." There is a piece that ended up looking like a tire rib, another that resembles a blacksmith's hammerhead, and another whose form. derives from the disc between the vertebrae of a whale.
In the end, she believes that the forms are both very personal and at the same time universal. The artist's passion for clay is as plain as her exquisite formal achievements, her sense of fun as apparent as her expertise in the medium.
The term "archaeological metaphor" in the second paragraph suggests that the sculptures
A.appear both antiquated and modem.
B.are refined and unornamented.
C.resemble prehistoric implements.
D.are incomparable and artless.
根据下列文章,请回答 16~20 题。
Liu :
To me,work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it' s the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise ! may some day lose everything, even my child.
I can give for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby.
I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work; I think that is her first step into society.
Liang:
Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity(实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world.
Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny(保姆) to lend me a hand.
Yao:
When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant.
Wang:
Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it; and a woman' s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child.
Zhao:
Although we may say women's talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields.
Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: There are two extra statements.
