21、 We all have to make decisions all the time, and we have an abundance of choices, ranging from tiny issues to vital ones. Unfortunately, people often find it hard to make decisions. 【1】 If you would like to improve your skill of decision making, here are four suggestions for you.
Don't expect to have it all. 【2】 You can not order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name a few. You can imagine some “what if” situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain.
【3】 It is often good to think through your decisions. But do not overdo it. Research can reach a point where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition(直觉) as on careful assessment of endless data.
Don't delay making decisions. Yes, there is a time to put of making a decision. Perhaps you need more information. 【4】 Or it's likely that you wait for a less stressful time .Just don 't wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness.
Don't be hard on yourself. You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner. Everything should work out just right. Only you did not expect a bug that ran around on the ship, making you and your family sick for five days. 【5】 But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes.
A．Don't spend too much time thinking.
B．Source of information is quite important.
C．Don't count on emotion to make decisions.
D．Maybe you wish to consult with your adviser.
E．You may regret making such a stupid decision.
F．Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities.
G．That means the skill of good decision making counts a lot.
22、Credit Card Management Apps to Stay on Top of Payments
Americans collectively hold about $4 trillion in consumer credit card debt, so a money management app might be worth consideration. Here are two top choices that will help manage the credit life.
For Budgeting: Mint
If you’re seeking an app for both a broad view and a detailed look at your credit cards and overall finances as well as warnings to ensure on-time payments, Mint is perhaps the most popular app in this category. You can create a budget, track card spending in customizable (可定制的) categories, get credit card bill warnings, and more.
Reserve a couple of hours to get started because setting it up takes time. And if you’re completely new to financial apps, tracking and categorizing every transaction (交易) you might make could take some getting used to.
Download Mint from the App Store or Google Play for free.
For Tracking Credit Card Rewards: AwardWallet
You can see all of your credit card rewards—including credit card points such as Citi ThankYou Points, American Express Membership Rewards and Chase Ultimate Rewards—in one place. The app also lets you know when your awards will expire (过期) so you can use them before you lose them.
Arghandewal, who travels all over the world by using points and miles, says the AwardWallet app helps her keep track of everything. “You can link all of your frequent flyer, hotel and even bank rewards accounts and get notices when your rewards balance changes,” she says.
AwardWallet requires access to your email account, which could make some folks uncomfortable. And some loyalty programs aren’t part of the platform.
Download AwardWallet from the App Store for free.
【1】The users of Mint can ________.
A．reduce daily transactions
B．get detailed financial advice
C．receive warnings of on-time payment

【2】Arghandewal is quoted in AwardWallet to ________.
A．show why the app is popular
B．explain how to win rewards
C．instruct people to download the app
D．persuade people to use the app

C．inform users of the expired awards
D．take time for users to get used to them
23、It has always been horrible for me to picture my life in old age. My recent visits to the senior care center, however, eased some of my fears and provided valuable food for thought.
Looking for meaningful ways to spend my weekends after my exams, I signed up to a program of arts and crafts for the elderly run by my schoolmates. I was informed that the Renci Nursing Home, where the program would be held, housed some of the less fortunate elderly in Singapore. Some background research gave me the impression that many of them suffered from physical issues and had little family support. As a result, I expected the atmosphere there to be discouraging. And, judging by the lack of interest in the painting activities, I truly sensed a feeling of purposelessness there. Given that we live in a society in which the bonds between the generations are weakening, perhaps the disappointing atmosphere in the home wasn’t surprising. The people were cut off from the ties that make life meaningful.
Is it safe to say then that our lives after retirement will likely feel aimless? But after I spoke to a Portuguese-Chinese man, I thought that this wasn’t necessarily so. At the age of 90, he displayed a surprisingly strong sense of control over his life. His liveliness was exceptional among the elderly population in the home. He had spent his life either traveling around the world as a backpacker, or working hard in Singapore to save up for his trips. He had made it a rule to learn foreign languages, exercise and eat healthily — something he continued to do during his stay in the nursing home.
While he spoke to me about how his time in London had shaped his view of cultural difference. I looked into his eyes. I knew that this was the kind of control over life that I wanted for myself. I don't want to spend half of my time wandering about in foreign countries like he did, but I do want to appreciate the richness that life has to offer.
