(2007.11.6)The Basics of Saving Money

Make a budget

Money managers agree that saving is easier with a budget，but most people don’t have one。Financial software ，though，makes setting up a personal budget easy！

A good budget might look something like this：

人潮拥挤的南京路
Exciting Nanjing Road
While the Bund and old Chinese city interest history buffs, Nanjing Road excites

shoppers. Shanghai’s premier shopping destination, Nanjing Road boasts 5.5 km of

shops, malls, restaurants and excitement. Colorful neon signs light up the street

at night when thousands of people flood the area.

对外滩和旧城区有历史兴趣的狂热爱好者来说，南京路对购物者也充满着诱惑力。上海是主要的购物首选地。在5.5公里长的南京路段拥有商铺，大型购物商场，餐厅和娱乐场所而著称。璀

历史上的外滩
The historic Bund
The West’s influence on Shanghai is very apparent on the Bund. European countries

and America established concessions here between the early 1840s and 1943. Visiting

the Bund takes one back to that era. Fifty-two buildings, all built in fashionable

European styles, line this famous section of East Zhongshan First Road.

受西方文化影响的上海，尤以外滩最明显。欧洲的一些国家和美国于1840年早期和1943年，在这曾设立租界地。游客参观外滩可以回溯到这个年代。52座建筑物，以欧

Shanghai dazzles visitors with its variety of places new and old, East and West.

New Shanghai begins at the airport with a step onto the Maglev, Shanghai’s high-speed

train. Reaching 431 km/h, it whisks travelers the 32 kilometers from the airport to Pudong

in eight minutes. Visitors disembark from the Maglev at Pudong, where Shanghai’s modern

side awaits right outside the station.

上海以其各种特色、新与旧以及东西方文化融会贯通的特色，璀璨繁华的大都市令每一位游客眼花缭乱。从机场到踏进磁力悬浮火车为开始游览新上海。上海的高速的火车，以每小时431公里的速度高速运行，可以把旅客从机场风驰电

Beth: Perhaps, but on the flip side, single-sex schools are able to break down gender stereotypes that may form when boys and girls go to school together.

可能是，但事情的反面，单一性别学校可以打破性别的古板。而男女学生在校一起学习就会形成这种古板的局面。

Adam: Are you arguing that in single-sex education boys are more likely to enroll in

theater or music or arts courses and girls in math or science courses?

那你想辩论；单一性别的学

The bebate about the best way to teach children has been around almost as long as

schools have been in existence. One part of this debate has been the question of

educating boys and girls separately or together.

有关那种教育孩子最佳方法的争论，几乎一直存在于校园中。其中之一的争论焦点是，男女学生在一起授课好还是分开好的问题。

辉煌的历史
A history of excellence
Originally known as the International Silent Games, the Deaflympics have been around since 1924. when they began, deaf people were broadly viewed as being intellectually inferior

and were often treated as social outcasts. Almost from the outset, the Games became a

means of comparing the ways in which different countries treated their deaf citizens.

In this role, the Deaflympics have promoted human rights for deaf people and shown that hearing has little bearing on intelligence or potenti
