"A penny saved is a penny earned." This old saying calls attention to the wisdom of saving money. "Putting money away for a rainy day" is another way to talk about saving for the future.
In the United States, people who want to start a savings account have different choices of where to put their money. These include banks and credit unions. Credit unions are cooperatives for people who have some kind of connection. For example, the members might work for a university or a government agency. Most credit unions are nonprofit organizations.
Credit unions, banks and other financial institutions pay interest on savings accounts. But the interest rates are low. Certificates of deposit pay higher returns. With a certificate of deposit or CD, a person agrees not to withdraw the money for a certain period of time. This term could be anywhere from a few months to several years. Longer terms, and larger amounts, pay higher interest. People can withdraw their money early but they have to pay a penalty.
Another way to save is through a money market fund. This is a kind of mutual fund. Mutual funds invest money from many people. The money is sometimes placed in short-term government securities. Money market funds, however, may not be federally guaranteed like other kinds of savings. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation guarantees savings up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars.
In a number of countries, people have been saving less over the years. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is a group of thirty-four countries. This organization says in nineteen ninety Americans had a household savings rate of seven percent. This year, that rate is expected to be a little more than two percent. Many European countries have higher rates, but Americans save more than families in Japan.
Q13: What is true about a certificate of deposit?
Q14: Which kind of savings may not be federally guaranteed?
Q15: Where is the household savings rate relatively high?
选项
A、It guarantees savings up to 250,000 dollars.
B、A person can make early withdrawals penalty free.
C、Its term ranges from a few months to several years.
D、It pays lower returns than a savings account.
答案
C
解析
文中说:定期存单有更高的回报。存款人承诺一段时间内不提取存款,期限从几个月到数年不等。期限越长、金额越大,支付的利息就越高。人们可以提前支取存款,但必须支付违约金。
