READING COMPREHENSION

Kevin is a mid-level executive at a very well-known bank. He started working there about five years ago when he graduated from college with a degree (diploma) in economics. At first he didnt know anyone at the company but now he has many friends there. He rents an apartment in the city and walks the ten minutes to and from work each day. He usually gets up at 6 and has breakfast while watching the news in English. He doesnt like to hurry, so he doesnt leave his home until 7:15 or so. The bank opens for customers at 8, but most employees have to be there half an hour earlier for a staff meeting. Kevin works in the banks corporate department, which means that he makes loans (prstamos) to small and medium size companies. He likes the work, but someday he would like to work managing investment portfolios (carteras de inversin). The stock market (bolsa) fascinates him, but he doesnt own any stock (acciones) himself. Kevin doesnt often go out to dinner. Instead, after work, he goes to the gym for a couple of hours and then he goes home for dinner.
