25.A 根据前文but 可知,作者的态度应与弟弟的态度相反,再结合作者对奶奶的态度可排除B项cheer使振奋,使欢呼;disappear 消失,不符语意,suffer受苦,遭受;此处用die表示作者十分生气失望的心情.
26.D 作者希望把奶奶藏起来,不让奶奶出来引起麻烦. meet遇见;avoid避免;arrange安排; hide躲藏,故选D
27.C inconvenient 不便利的,不方便的,主语不能为人,故排除;结合语意可知父母不希望让奶奶感到在家里不受欢迎.Independent独立的;inconvenient不方便的;unwelcome不受欢迎的;unfamiliar不熟悉的.

Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn-and the sooner you start the better.Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special,creating a budget can help you deal with your expenses and plan for the future.All you need are paper and a pencil-and some self-control.
First,take a look at our sample monthly budget.Then,use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own.In the first two columns (栏),list your sources (来源) of income and how much you expect to earn from them.In the third and fourth columns,list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount.
The left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total.If it is,you have an effective budget.Budgets are not complex,but sticking to them can be tough.When planning your budget,be realistic about your expenses.If you know that you drop 18 at a movie,don't write 12 in that space simply because you wish you were spending less.
If you are eyeing a big purchase,such as a 150 skateboard,spend less and save more until you have the total amount.No matter how attractive it may be,avoid spending your savings.One day,you will thank yourself!
