【答案】BCCD
【解析】
63,B选项,你有财务问题时,你最好冷静下来,定位至第五段,最好的解决办法是平心静气的,dispassionate,平心静气的,不带感情的,故选B。
64,注意题干中的implies,暗示,隐含,易错选A,是原文提到的,故不能选。
由文章最后一段最后一句话可知,缓解经济带来的压力最好的方式是采取积极措施,与C选项意思相近,故选C。
65,定位至第六段,该句前面一段话表示:
因为似乎通过释放压抑(Pent-up)的焦虑情绪,你会感觉更好,并希望得到更多的支持,而这种情况会发生,但不会发生在你爱的人身上,因为他们会拿走你所有的公平并放大它。
和你的财务顾问、银行经理或治疗师谈谈。
后面提到这对你或者你的家人都非常不好,可以推断出这句话的意思是让你的家人为你的经济压力买单是很不好的,故选C。
整篇文章都在围绕经济压力以及如何处理这些问题展开,故选D。
