【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文]11-13 Hi, I'm George Boros. Have you always wanted to invest, but didn't know where to get started? We're here today to present you with three basic guidelines to smart investing for your future. Number one is to have dear goals. Decide how many years you will invest for, and what your needs will be in the future. Number two is to understand the range of possibilities. You'll want a diversified portfolio: one with a mix of stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and cash. It's a jungle out there. Each of these products has different risks associated with them and also different potential rewards. Understand them before you buy, so there won't be any big surprise later. Finally, number three is to have realistic expectations. As our friend Leonardo da Vinci said in the year 1500: "He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year." Over the past several years, New York stocks have averaged 30% annual returns, but don't count on this continuing. While it's true that since the year 1900, stocks have averaged an 11% annual return, it's a roller coaster ride with many minus years as well, so you have to stay in for the long term -- you have to weather the storm -- and not be too greedy. Well, let's get started and happy hunting! For FNN, this is George Boros reporting. 答案信息对应于独白第二段第一句：Number one is to have clear goals，即第一条是有明确的目标，[C]只是表达上与此稍有不同。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】在独白第三段第二句中，提到了a mix of stocks、mutual funds、bonds及cash这4种投资方式，但没有提及certificate of deposits(存款证明)，它也不属于一种投资方式，因此本题答案是[D]。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】独自的倒数第二段用数据说明了过去以来股市的回报率，而在最后一句说：... it's a rollercoaster ride with many minus years as well... you have to weather the storm，其中的weather the storm指的是“未雨绸缪”而不是指天气，因此它实际上说的是市场有涨有跌，所以应做好长期准备，选[A]。
