单选题A budget is a spending plan. It can help you spend money wisely. It can do this by cutting out wasteful spending. Of course, preparing a budget takes planning, and following a budget takes will power. Your budget should meet your family's needs and income. The first step in creating a budget is to set your goals. What does your family need and want? You must know this to work out the details of the budget. Keep goals realistic, in terms of income available. Then decide which goals are the most important. The next step is estimating family income. Before you can plan wisely, you need to know how much money you have to spend. Write down all the money you expect to receive (wages, savings, interest, etc. ) during the planned budget period. After you have calculated how much money will be available, it is time to estimate the expenses. List all of your family expenses. If you are not satisfied with what you got for your money, look carefully at your spending. Studying your records will show where overspending has occurred. It will also point out poor buying habits. It is also a good idea to set aside a small amount of money for emergencies. Every family has small emergencies: a blown tire, a broken device, or the need for minor medical care.

单选题A Laconic Answer Many centuries ago, there lived some people in the southern part of Greece called Spartans (斯巴达人), who were famous for their simple habits and bravery. The name of the area in which they lived was Laconia(拉科尼亚), therefore , they were also called Lacons(拉科人). One of the strange rules that the Lacons had was that they should speak briefly, and never more words than needed. And so a short answer was often spoken of as a Laconic answer. At that time , there was in the northern part of Greece a land called Macedon(马其顿)that was once ruled by a war--like king named Philip. Philip wanted to be the head of all Greece. So he raised(招募)a great army and made war upon the other states until all of them really regarded him as their King. Then he sent a letter to the Spartans, saying, "If I go down into your country, I will level your great city to the ground. " In a few days, an answer was brought back to him. When he opened the letter, he found there was only one word. That word was "IF".
