Lucky’s Greatest Treasure

Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named “Lucky.” Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit, they would warn their friends not to leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing.

Mary or Jim would go to Lucky’s toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky’s other favorite toys. Lucky always stored his finds in his toy box.

It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this disease. She scheduled a double mastectomy(乳房切除术), fear riding her shoulders.

The night before she was to go to the hospital, she hugged Lucky closely in her arms. A thought struck her — what would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary’s dog through and through. “If I die, Lucky will be abandoned”, Mary thought, “He won’t understand that I didn’t want to leave him”. The thought made her sadder than that of her own death.

The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim faithfully took Lucky for his evening walk, but the little dog just hung down, whining (哀鸣) and miserable.

Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted that she couldn’t even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap.

Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn’t come to her when she called. It made Mary sad, but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed.

When Mary woke, for a second she couldn’t understand what was wrong. She couldn’t move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned!

While she had slept, the sad dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love.

Mary forgot about dying. Instead, she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day.

It’s been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky? He still steals treasures and stores them secretly in his toy box, but Mary remains his greatest treasure.

Student Loans

Federal Student Aid is an office of the U.S. Department of Education that provides student loans for education beyond high school. The U.S. government clearly understands the importance of post-secondary education in positively impacting the nation. It therefore ensures that each eligible student in the United States is able to receive financial assistance for higher education.

Although parents can opt for private funding through sources like banks and other financial institutions, the rates of interest can be prohibitively high in most cases. On the other hand, the interest rates of federally funded student loans are much less in comparison. It is therefore imperative that parents take all steps necessary to apply for student loans available through the federal government.

Federal Student Aid is actively involved in educating students and their families on the exact procedure to obtain student loans. Once the applications are received, it processes them by the millions before the start of each academic year. It also pays out billions of dollars through schools to fund the education of students who have applied for financial aid.

The first step in applying for financial aid is to fill and submit the FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The name of the student should be entered exactly the way it is written on the student’s social security card. The format used is ‘first name’, ‘middle initial’ and ‘last name’. Since the analysis bureau will be linking up the FAFSA with the social security number, the names should match precisely for the application to be approved. A mismatch in the names could result in the application being sent back for correction. This would cause a delay and end up pushing the applicant to the back of the line. Since most financial aid is provided on a first-come-first-served basis, it is important to be at the head of the line. Even a minor error on the FAFSA can result in a loss of thousands of dollars in financial aid.

Therefore, it is important that families have all the proper income and tax records ready before applying for financial aid. This will help avoid submitting inconsistent, incomplete or mistaken information while filling out the FAFSA forms.

The CSS PROFILE is the FAFSA equivalent that is most often required for aid through private universities. It could be a little more complicated than filling out the FAFSA form. Going through the entire process with the help of a certified college planner would be a good idea.

No matter what their credit rating, parents should still submit their applications for financial aid. Learning about the different options available to them is the first step in the process. Doing it right will enhance their chances of getting student loans for their children’s higher education.

Identity Theft

❶ College students have a lot to worry about: tests, quizzes, homework, organizations, and jobs. One thing they might not think they should worry about is identity theft. Identity theft is actually a big problem on college campuses and students are easy targets. Knowing how to protect yourself against identity theft is the first thing you need to do for yourself.

❷ One of the major reasons why students are targets is because they are naive. Many students don’t know or don’t realize the dangers of giving out their personal information unless they have already been through it or they are older. A majority of the time, students get sucked into getting free stuff just for applying for a credit card. Students are one of the easiest targets for scammers (骗子). In order to protect yourself from having your identity stolen, you need to understand how scammers get your personal information.

❸ For students, being frugal is just about a must. One of the costs they may skimp on is paying for their own internet. Instead, they will log on to someone else’s WiFi or an unsecured network. While this may cut down on costs while you are in college, there is a chance that someone will be able to get your personal information. These unsecured networks may be full of people who are simply sitting and waiting for you to log on to your bank account, shop online, apply for a job online, or apply for a credit card online. If you are going to shop online or do any of the previously mentioned activities, make sure you are on a secured network that has the proper privacy settings.‏

❹ Something that students may not think about is shredding (撕碎) their documents. It is very easy for anyone to have their identity stolen if they don’t shred important documents, bills, or even credit card offers. You should always shred anything that has any type of personal information, especially those with account numbers, your social security number, or even your birthday. If you get a credit card offer saying you are pre-approved, so on and so forth, you need to shred it before throwing it away. Some people go through others’ trash and take the pre-approved cards. They can then use it to open a credit card under your name, stealing your identity.‏

❺ While you have many things to think about while in college, you should always think about the information you are giving out. Remember never to give out your bank account information or PIN (personal identification number) , even to a friend. Also, watch out for scams (骗局) like signing up for a credit card to get a free shirt; your identity may not be stolen right away, but that information could be used in the future. Shred any and all personal documentation before throwing it away. Moreover, when you do shred your documentation, make sure it can’t be put back together.‏

A. Being naive

B. Easy targets

C. Being frugal

D. Protecting information

E. Shredding documents

F. Seeking help

Mistakes Are a Must on the Road to Success

‍

When Kamprad was a teenager, he became interested in a pro-Nazi group run by a Swedish fascist activist by the name of Per Engdahl. He not only attended group meetings but also raised funds and recruited members to the group between 1942 and 1945. It is unknown when Kamprad quit the group. (25)_______________. This part of Kamprad’s past remained hidden until 1994, when Engdahl’s personal letters were made public after his death.‏

“This is part of my life I bitterly regret,” said Kamprad. “After a couple of meetings in pure Nazi style, I quit.” In a letter he wrote to employees titled “The Greatest Mistake of My Life,” Kamprad apologized to IKEA employees of Jewish heritage and asked for their forgiveness. (26)_______________. Following its publication, Kamprad said in an interview, “Now I have told all I can. Can one ever get forgiveness for such stupidity?”

(27)________________. “That was the biggest blunder I’ve made in my entire life, and I regret it deeply,” he said “I have said sorry, many times, but it has left an unremovable mark on my conscience that continually haunts me and perhaps it’s best this way.” Joining the Nazi group would be a mistake that he would be paying for on a personal level for the rest of his life. (28)_______________. He was criticized and he was attacked in the media, but sales at IKEA continued to increase. His popularity actually rose following the incident because of the honesty with which he dealt with the after-effect.

Experience has taught Kamprad that not only could the business world be forgiving of his mistakes, but that it was those very mistakes that could end up moving mountains. (29)_______________. Working in Älmhult, Gillis Lundgren, a new employee, had been standing beside a car with a colleague, trying to figure out how to get a bulky wooden table into the back of it. Finally, against company policy, Lundgren said, “Oh God, then, let’s pull off the legs and put them underneath.” It was with that simple statement that IKEA would reorient itself towards the flat design production for which it has become famous today.

‍“IKEA is not completely perfect,” said Kamprad. “We are going the right way to becoming it, for sure, but we are not there yet.”

‍A. Kamprad had made a crucial mistake in sympathizing with Nazis in his teenage years.‏

‍B. However, he remained friends with Engdahl well into the 1950s.‏

‍C. However, professionally, Kamprad had been left relatively unharmed.‏

‍D. Indeed, the success of IKEA can be traced back to a simple mistake in 1956.‏

‍E. Kamprad was arrested soon after the war was ended.‏

‍F. He also devoted two chapters to the incident in his 1998 book, “The History of IKEA.”

Understanding a Budget

A budget is a foreign concept to kids (and, it should be said, to many adults). Younger children, especially, simply won’t realize that mommy and daddy have a (30)____________ amount of money to spend every month. But (31) ____________ what a budget is, and why it's a good idea, is one of the central pillars of financial literacy.

The best way to teach kids how a budget works is (32)____________to show them. That's not to say that you should open your books up to your children and show them every penny coming in or out (although you may consider (33) ____________ some details with teenagers about things like your mortgage payment, car payments, and so on). Instead, just give them a broad (34)____________of how adults have to divide up their money each month.

One easy way to demonstrate this concept is to take a stack of Monopoly money (游戏钞票), and tell your child that the stack represents how much money you (35)____________ every month from work. Then, divide up the (36)____________ one at a time to show how much you spend on the house, how much you spend on food, how much you save, how much you give to charitable (37)____________, and so forth. The denominations (面额) aren't important. What's important is showing your children that you have a (38)____________ plan for your money, and that you're on top of the family finances.

‏Encourage your child to start a budget of his own: Part of his allowance should go to savings, part to charity, and part of it is just for fun. Help your child identify what he (39)____________ values, and budget his money accordingly.

Crude Oil

Although crude oil is still (40)____________ (vast) available in the earth’s crust, it is not a/an (41)____________ (finite) resource. At some point it will eventually be (42)____________(exhaust). The demand for crude oil has increased by gigantic proportions.
