　　She must be the wisest woman on this planet, for she has lived up to the three words“Seize the moment”．Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, or because they are unwilling to try something new．

　　My sister died a few years ago．We never did have lunch together．I can’t remember how many times I was refused when I called her to go to lunch．She would say to me：“I can’t．I have clothes on the line．”“My hair is dirty．I wish I had known yesterday．”“I had a late breakfast．”“It looks like rain．”Only after her death did I choose to be a little more flexible．

　　Life is not made up of thing that you do at a particular time, but it demands variety and adventure．As we grow older, the list of promises made to ourselves may get longer．Perhaps one morning, when we awaken, we will find to our surprise that our life is full of“I’m going to”,“I plan to”and“Someday, when things are settled down a bit．”

　　My seize-the-moment friend is open to adventure and ready at any moment to make a new start．She keeps an open mind about new ideas．Her great interest in life is contagious．With her around you, you may trade your bad feet for good shoes．

　　I have not touched ice cream for 10 years．The other day, I stopped off and bought a triple-decker．If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy．

According to a recent survey on money and relationships, 36% of people are keeping a bank account from their partner. While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a relationship, in truth it may just be a form of financial protection. With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce, men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy, regardless of whether they are in a relationship.

The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult, even more so when children are involved. The lack of permanency in relationships, job and family life may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner, in other words, an "escape fund".

Margaret's story is far from unique. She is a representative of a growing number of women in long-term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings. Every month on pay day, she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her husband. She has been doing this throughout their six-year marriage and has built a nest egg worth an incredible $100,000. Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings he'd be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn't sure of the marriage. "He'd think it was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went wrong. I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is, but you can never be sure."

Like many of her fellow secret savers, Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has since been very guarded about her own money.

Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad. Taken Colleen for example, who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to her partner. "I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own. I wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day."

1．The trend to keep a secret bank account is growing because _______.

A．"escape fund" helps one through rainy days

B．days are getting harder and harder

C．women are money sensitive

D．financial conflicts often occur

2．The word "savvy" （Line4, Para1） probably means ________.

A．suspicious B．secure C．wise D．simple

3．Which inference can we make about Margaret？

A．She is a unique woman. B．She was once divorced.

C．She is going to retire. D．She has many children.

4．The author mentions Colleen's example to show __________.

A．any couple can avoid marriage conflicts

B．privacy within marriage should be respected

C．everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage

D．financial disclosure is not necessarily bad

5．Which of the following is the best summary of this passage?

A．Secret Savers B．Love Is What It's Worth

C．Banking Honesty D．Once Bitten, Twice Shy 65．
