lease a car because you dont think you can afford to buy?Think again.Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying.Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money.Theyre right-it is cheaper,but only in the short term.For example,if you were to leaseanew Subaru Forester,you might pay$300 per month for the car.If you were to buythe same car,you would pay about$400 per month.Over a three-year,you would save$3600-a big savings.But after your lease is over,you have to give the car back.Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they mightotherwise be able to afford.For example,if you spend$300 monthly on a car,youmight be able to lease a new Ford Explorer.For the same price,you might have to buy aused Explorer,or buy a new but much less expensive model.A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars.However,whatever caryou can afford to buy you get to keep it,and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later.Furthermore,people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must paywhen the lease is over.Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles.If you goover that,you must pay for each mile.As a result,you may end up paying thousands ofdollars in mileage(里程)fees.In addition,when you lease,you have to pay for regularmaintenance and repairs to the vehicle.Since you must return the car finally,you arepaying to repair someone elses car.总结.-By now,the benefits of buying over leasing should be clear.Remember:whatevermodel you can afford to buy,it is yours after you make the payments.Theres no givingback,and that makes all the difference.1.People usually think leasing a car can save

FranceCultural Differences in England and FranceCultural differences can take many forms.I have noticed many differences in Frenchculture compared to English culture,from the way people dress,to their attitudestowards food,to what they do for fun.One thing that has struck me in particular inFrance is personal interactions with each other.26Firstly,its the kissing.Everyone kisses each other on the cheek.Its a greeting,insteadof saying hi or hello 27 Everyone participates in the kissing ritual,the young,the old,male,female,strangers and friends.I kiss my friends.I kiss the teachers at the school.And even if Im in a hurry,I am still expected to make time to give acquaintances aquick kiss on the cheek as I rush past.I dont mind it.28 It quickly turns strangers intoacquaintances,and acquaintances into friends.Another thing that Ive noticed is that people France are much more open with peoplethey dont know.29 In France,however,on long train journeys people have oftenstarted a conversation with me for no reason.They have a chat simply to pass the time.And I really enjoy being able to share a part of my life and my story with someone else.Whatever impressions you may have about French people,I have found that they are,for the most part,open and at ease talking to strangers 30A.In fact,I quite like it.B.They differ a lot from those in the UK.C.Often the kiss is a substitute for words.D.This makes me more comfortable with them too.E.Britons often greet each other with hugs and kisses.F.In England,you talk to a stranger only if completely
