第二步 原文阅读理解脱敏训练（10min）
说明：文章即第一步的原文，也可以用来验证听力答案
Two lucky lottery players will take home the third largest American lottery jackpot ever after
matching all six numbers on Saturday. Ticket holders in Missouri and Texas will split the whopping
$1.8 billion winnings. Their odds of winning that record pot were 292 million to one. That's more
than 20,000 times your odds of being struck by lightning.
And while we may never find out who the winners are -- both states allow winners to remain
anonymous -- We thought this may be a fun opportunity to do some mathing. Because hitting it big
is actually a bit more complicated than just picking up an oversized check.
First, winners have to decide how they want to collect their winnings. Do you take a lump sum
or an annuity?
A lump sum is a one-time upfront payment. You get all of your winnings and pay all the taxes
at one time. The catch: it's usually smaller than the annuity option. In this case, the jackpot shrinks
to $410 million each before taxes. That's enough to buy about 800 median-priced homes in the
United States.
Now, if they take the annuity, they get $893 million each, but it's spread out over smaller
payments for 30 years. Think of it as a superersized allowance. Before they go on a spending spree,
however, big winnings come with some big taxes. Nearly a quarter of it goes straight to the IRS.
And they may be on the hook for state taxes as well.
Many experts say the first thing winners should do is enlist financial and legal advice. You need
about two to three weeks at this level of win to put together a plan that encompasses taxes as well
as uh, what you're, what, who you're trying to help. You want to secure your advisors. You want to
secure that attorney that's going to be the leader of that group who will put the plan together.
Have you ever wondered where the rest of the money raised by lottery tickets goes? You may
be closer to the answer than you think. Many states, including Texas and Missouri, use funds from
lottery ticket sales to fund education, including college scholarships and programs like pre-K.
Now, you have to be at least 18 years old to play the lottery in the majority of states. But Press
pause, chat it out with friends and family. What do you think if you ever did win the lottery, would
you take the lump sum of cash or the smaller annuity payments over time? Why? Also, what would
you spend it on? And would you keep it a secret? Discuss.
1.
What do winners need to decide first after winning the lottery?
A. Whether to keep it a secret.
B. How to spend the money.
C. How to collect their winnings.
D. Whether to seek legal advice.
2.
If winners take the lump sum, what's the situation?
A. They get less money than the annuity option before taxes.
B. They get the money over 30 years.
C. They don't need to pay taxes.
D. They can buy more than 1000 median-priced homes in the US.
3.
What do many experts suggest winners do first?
A. Go on a spending spree.
B. Enlist financial and legal advice.
C. Keep it a secret.
D. Buy a big house.
