【题目】 Wonder why last year's money disappeared so quickly? 1 Plan a budget(预算) and you will find that you can stop money from going so fast.

2 Careful budget can help you save for the things you want but can't pay for right now.

Sounds useful? Look at the following before you start your budget:

Every week there are things we have to pay for, like school lunches and buses. 3 All these are weekly expenses(开销).

Since we can't have money for everything, we have to make choices. We need to ask if we really need something or just want it. Needs are what you must have in order to live, like food and water. Wants are things you would like to have or do, but not necessary. 4

List what you must spend on needs and if there is money left over, what you will save for things you really want. 5 If you don't have enough money for what you need, you may have to give up one for the other.

No budget is fixed(不变的). Keep an eye on yours. Maybe you wanted a cartoon book but now you want an MP3 more. Your needs may change into wants, or your wants may change into needs.

根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。

A.This is called a budget.

B.For example, you want CDs and cartoons.

C.This may be because you don't have a careful plan.

D.A budget is a plan to control where your money goes.

E.There are also things we would like to spend money on just for fun!

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成句子,每空不超过5个词。

“We live to work or we work to live” is a very famous question. The society is moving faster and no one has the time to think about whether the way we follow is the best solution. In fact, it’s hard to solve the problem: the balance(平衡) between work and personal life.

Maybe you say you don’t want to have a personal life. You want to work all the time to devote(奉献) yourself to your work. Before doing this, you’d better ask yourself, do you want to have a family?

The perfect example that shows the idea is Steve Jobs. He decided that no matter how rich he was or how nice it was to stay with his family, it’s more important to be creative and to bring new technologies. It’s clear that he gave up his personal life. People all over the world are thankful to him, but what about his family?

In my opinion, although work is important, we do need our personal life, such as family, friends and parties. We still need to work. And we should try our best to work well. But do remember that work is only one part of our life. Just like we need a balanced diet, we also need a balance between work and life.

1Everyone is too busy to ________ the question.

2It’s difficult to keep the balance ________.

3People all over the world are thankful to Steve Jobs because he ________ his personal life.

4According to the writer, ________ are also very important besides work.

5The writer thinks that work is ________ of our life.
