参考答案：
B 【详解】考查宾语从句。

句意：有时候从南方来的人在理解北方人说的话时有困难。

understanding后接的是一个宾语从句，且宾语从句缺宾语，所以选用连接词what。

故选B。

【点睛】宾语从句连接词的选择办法：
1）当由陈述句充当宾语从句时，用that引导，that无词义，在口语或非正式文体中常省略。

2）当由一般疑问句充当宾语从句时，用if或whether引导，意为“是否”。

3）如果宾语从句原来是特殊疑问句，只需用原来的特殊疑问词引导。

例如本题中是用特殊疑问句（what do people from the north say）做宾语从句的，所以连接词选择what。

这是一篇记叙文。

作者在看新闻时，听到“所有伟大的发现，都是被25到30岁的人们发现的。

就去图书馆查阅了科学领域，政治领域的一些杰出人物，发现他们的确都是在25~30岁左右成就了自己。

作者很失望，不过最后作者还是想起了莎士比亚和毕加索，他们年龄很大时依然在创作，给了作者一些希望。

Steps to Retire a Millionaire
Having a million-dollar portfolio is a retirement dream for many people. Making that dream come true requires some serious effort. While success is never a sure thing, the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective.
61. ____
Vacations, car, kids and all of life's other expenses take a big chunk out of your paycheck. To maximize your savings, you need to minimize your expenses. Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings.
62. ____
If you don't save, you'll never reach your goal. As obvious as this might seems, far too many people never even start to save. If your employer offers a 401(k) plan, enrolling in the plan is a great way to put your savings on autopilot. Simply sign up for the plan and contributions will
be automatically taken out of your paycheck, increasing your savings and decreasing your immediate tax liability.
If your employer offers to match your contributions up to a certain percentage, be sure to contribute enough to get the full match. It's like getting a guaranteed return on your investment. Finding the cash to stash may be a challenge, particularly when you're young, but don't let that stop you from pursuing future riches.
63. ____
Studies have shown that the majority of the returns generated by an investment are dictated by the asset-allocation decision. If you are looking to grow your wealth over time, fixed-income investments aren't likely to get the job done, and inflation can take a big chunk out of your savings.
Investing in equities entails more risk, but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns. For many of us, it's a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow. Asset-allocation strategies can help you learn how to make picking the right mix of securities the core of your investing strategy.
64. ___
Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur. If you are not prepared, these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts. While you can't avoid all of the
bumps in the road, you can prepare in advance to mitigate the damage they can do.
65. ____
Your income should rise as time passes. You'll get raises, you'll change jobs, and maybe you'll get married and become a two-income family. Every time more cash comes in to your pocket, you should increase the amount that you save. The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as much as you can.
