1.Among the most popular ways they are doing this, the company said, is by reducing their overall expenses, securing life insurance or maximizing their contributions to retirement accounts.  (2022年英语二阅读理解text 2)
结构划分：① the company said （主谓）
② Among the most popular ways they are doing this （介词短语）
③ is （系动词）
④ （the way）by reducing their overall expenses, securing life insurance or maximizing their contributions to retirement accounts
重点词汇：
insurance  n. 保险；保险金
expense  n. 代价，费用
overall  adj.  全面的;综合的
maximize  v. 充分利用；使最大化
contribution  n. 贡献；捐款，缴款
retirement  n. 退休，退休生活
语法分析：本句主干为：the company said among the most popular ways is (the way) by reducing their overall expenses, securing life insurance or maximizing their contributions to retirement accounts, 意思是：该公司表示，最受欢迎的方法是减少总费用、确保人寿保险或最大化退休账户的缴款；其中the company said虽然放在双逗号中间，但是这部分才是真正的主语和谓语，其余部分都是省略了that的宾语，除此之外， they are doing this做定语修饰ways，意思是“他们正在做的”。在这个宾语从句里，“reducing their overall expenses, securing life insurance or maximizing their contributions to retirement accounts”是位于介词by后面的并列宾语，由or连接。其中省略了 the way，整个by介词短语，做定语修饰the 。way
参考译文：该公司表示，他们正在做的最受欢迎的方法是减少总费用、确保人寿保险或最大化退休账户的缴款。
2.Unfortunately, many people who are opting to work in retirement are preparing to do so because they are worried about making ends meet in their later years, said Brent Weiss, a co-founder at Baltimore-based financial-planning firm Facet Wealth. (2022年英语二阅读理解text 2)
结构划分：
①many people who are opting to work in retirement
②are preparing to do so
③because they are worried about making ends meet in their later years
④said Brent Weiss
⑤a co-founder at Baltimore-based financial-planning firm Facet Wealth
重点单词：
co-founder  n. 共同创立者 
financial  adj. 财政的，金融的
prepare  v. 使做好准备
opt  v. 选择
retirement  n. 退休，退休生活
语法分析：本句的主干部分是“ Brent Weiss said many people are preparing to do so”，意思是“Brent Weiss说许多人正准备这么做”。除此之外，整句话还包含一个定语从句、一个原因状语从句以及一个同位语从句。“who are opting to work in retirement”是一个定语从句，意思是“选择退休后继续工作的”，用来修饰前面的people；“because they are worried about making ends meet in their later years”是一个原因状语从句，用来修饰前面的谓语部分are preparing to do so，意思是“因为他们担心在晚年生活会入不敷出”。句子最后的“a co-founder at Baltimore-based financial-planning firm Facet Wealth”是一个同位语从句，用来解释说明Brent Weiss的身份，意思是“在巴尔的摩的财务规划公司——Facet Wealth的联合创始人”
参考译文：不幸的是，许多选择退休后工作的人都准备这样做，因为他们担心在晚年生活会入不敷出，Brent Weiss这样说，他是在巴尔的摩的财务规划公司——Facet Wealth的联合创始人。考研实用工具推荐
