Youre entitled to whatever benefit youve earned and you might even be entitled to take it now. “A lot of people forget they
32、have it, or they think that by waiting until theyre 65, theyll have a bigger benefit,“ says Wayne Bogosian, president of the PFE Group, which provides corporate pre-retirement education.Your former employers should send you a certificate that says how much your pension is worth. If its less than $5,
33、000, or if the company offers a lump-sum payout, it will generally close your account and cash you out. It may not seem like much, but $5,000 invested over 20 years at eight percent interest is $23,000. If your pension is worth more than $5,000, or your company doesnt offer the lump-sum option, find
34、 out how much money youre eligible for at the plans normal retirement age, the earlier age at which you can collect the pension, the more severe penalty for collecting it early. Youll probably still come out ahead by taking the money now and investing it.What if you left a job years ago, and youre r
35、ealizing you may have unwittingly left behind a pension? Get help from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. It has an online search tool that has helped locate $47 million in lost benefits for more than 12,000 workers.If you have a traditional pension, retiring early costs more than you might e
36、xpect. Most people assume you take a proportional cut for leaving before your plans normal retirement age. For example, you might think that if you need to accrue 30 years of service and you leave three years early, youd get a pension 90 percent of the full amount.But thats not how- it works. Instea
37、d, you take an actuarial reduction, determined by the employer but often around five percent a year, for each year you leave early. So retiring three years early could leave you with only 85 percent of the total amount.When you retire early with a defined-contribution plan, the problem is you start
38、spending investments on which you could be earning interest. If you retire when youre 55, for example, and start using the traditional pension then, by age 65 youll have only about half of what you wouldve had if youd kept working until 65.（分数：6.00）(1).When one leaves a job with a traditional pensio

A. hell take 90 percent of the total amount of his pension B. hell have half of his pension payments C. hell have his pension payment reduced by 5% a year D. hell have only 85 percent of his full pension（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).If one retires early with a defined-contribution plan, he is expected to

If one keeps his expenses within his retirement framework, he wont be severely affected.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.The biggest problem facing Chile as it promotes itself as a tourist destination to be reckoned with,
45、 is that it is at the end of the earth. It is too far south to be a convenient stop on the way to anywhere else and is much farther than a relatively cheap half-days flight away from the big tourist markets, unlike Mexico, for example.Chile, therefore, has to fight hard to attract tourists, to convi
46、nce travelers that it is worth coming halfway round the world to visit. But it is succeeding, not only in existing markets like the U.S.A and Western Europe but in new territories, in particular the Far East. Markets closer to home, however, are not being forgotten. More than 50% of visitors to Chile still come from its nearest neighbor, Argentina, where the cost of living is much higher.Like all South American countries, Chile sees tourism as a valuable earner of foreign currency, although it has been far more serious than most in promoting its image abroad.
