These programs are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. _4_ Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isnt 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀) is taken into consideration._5_ But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

There is a wellknown tradition in the UK. _4_ (associate)with 29th February, introduced many centuries ago. Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose (求婚)to their boyfriends on this day. This all started back to the _5_ (five)century, when a famous Irish saint made a _6_ (complain) that women had to wait too long for men to propose. According to the legend，Saint Patrick said any female dreaming of a proposal could ask her boyfriend to marry her on this additional day in February. This socalled tradition was_7_ (write )in law in the thirteenth century.Scotland passed a law allowing women to propose to men in a leap year. It was said that if the men refused, they had to pay a fine!Now in 2016, there are calls _8_ February 29th to become a public holiday.Some people believe that it should be an _9_ (office)day off, because no one gets _10_ (many) payments for working an extra day in a leap year for the moment, though the British still have to go to work on this day.答案与解析本文介绍了闺年的2月29日英国的有趣传统：在这一天女子可以向自己的男朋友求婚，如果男方拒绝，需要支付罚款。1what考查表语从句。句意：这是因为它就是我们称做闰年的日子。从句中call缺宾语，所以填what。2it考查代词。指代前文中the year，作介词in的宾语。句意：每四年，这一年就有366天而不是365天。3legally考查副词。recognized 是实义动词，所以要用副词legally来修饰。4associated考查过去分词。associate 是前面名词tradition的后置定语，与tradition 是被动关系，所以用associated 形式。5fifth考查序数词。在第五世纪，要用序数词形式。6complaint考查名词。此空前面有a，所以complain用名词形式complaint。7written考查过去分词。句意：这个所谓的传统被写进十三世纪的法律当中。tradition与write之间为动宾关系，所以用过去分词结构written。8for考查固定搭配。call for对的呼吁。9official考查形容词。day是名词，前面用形容词official作定语。10more考查比较级。句意：有人认为这一天应该成为一个官方假日，因为没有人因为在闰年里多工作一天而得到更多的报酬。所以根据文章意思用many 的比较级more。.短文改错(2017哈尔滨师范大学月考)Two people were arrested yesterday at Paris airport for bringing animals into Europe from South America illegal.
