During her junior year of high school, Candice Backus’s teacher handed her a sheet and instructed the 17-year-old to map out her future financial life. Backus pretended to buy a car, rent an apartment, and apply for a credit card. Then, she and her classmates played the "stock market game, " investing the hypothetical(假设的)earnings from their hypothetical jobs in the market in the fateful fall of 2008. "Our pretend investments crashed , "Backus says, still horrified. " We felt what actual shareholders were feeling. "
That pain of earning and losing money is a feeling that public school increasingly want to teach. Forty states now offer some types of financial instruction at the elementary or high-school level, including lessons in balancing checkbooks(支票本)and buying stock in math and social-studies classes. The interest in personal-finance classes has risen since 2007 when bank failures became a regular occurrence.
Rather than teach investment strategies, these courses offer a basic approach to handling money: Don’t spent what you don’t have. Put part of your monthly salary into a saving account, and invest in the stock market for the long-term rather than short-term gains. For Backus, this means dividing her earnings from her part-time job at a fast-food restaurant into separate envelopes for paying bills, spending, and saving. " Money is so hard to make but so easy to spend, "she says one weekday after school.
After Backus finished her financial classes, she opened up a savings account at her local bank and started to think more about how she and her family would pay for college. "She just has a better understanding of money and how it affects the world ," says her mother, Darleen. All of this talk of money can make Backus worry, she says, but luckily, she feels prepared to face it.
Student interest in taking classes on finance has increased because of______.
选项
A、the state of the economy
B、the need for employment
C、the rate of graduation
D、the desire to purchase cars
答案
A
解析
推断题。根据第二段最后一句“The interest in personal—finance classes has risensince 2007 when bank failures became a regular occurrence.”可知,学生对个人理财课程兴趣越来越浓,主要是因为自2007年以来,时有银行由于经营不善而倒闭。选项A“the state of theeconomy(经济状况)”是对原文中具体事例的抽象概括。原文中的“bank failures became aregular occurrence(时有银行倒闭)”是事例,是具体的,选项A的“the state of the economy(经济状况)”是虚的,是抽象的概括,是实转虚的典型例题。
