my case,I did learn a bit about financing while in school-just not in the classroom.One of my earliest lessons on the basics of budgeting came from an unlikely source:the cafeteria.My lunch budget was a set amount each week.Without a plan,it would be all too easy to blow through the budget long before meeting all expenses.Therefore,my very first budgeting 学科网（北京）股份有限公司4lesson was to make a budget well.A bit of simple arithmetic(算术)helped me determine exactly how much money I could spend each day if I wanted to actually have lunch all week.Besides,my school had relatively diverse lunch offerings.You could not only get the common hot school lunch but also find many other foods of varying attractions.As far as I was concerned,what attracted me most was the ice cream.Unfortunately,I couldnt blow my daily lunch budget on ice cream.And Id already figured out that splurging early in the week made for a rough time for the rest of the week.Hence,I learned my second important budgeting lesson:save for a goal.Because of this lesson,when Friday rolled around,I would have just enough left over for a wonderful lunch and the highly desirable ice cream.Nowadays,my budget is a bit more complicated than the lunch budget in the past.Although I no longer have to save my pennies for a frozen treat,budgeting my money today uses the exact same skills I learned all those years ago.Actually,whether youre budgeting for school lunches or credit card bills,the basics remain the same.And its never too early-or too late-to learn how to make a proper budget.24.What can we learn

researcher at the University of Texas at Dallas and his colleagues could help ease conflict between food-delivery platforms and restaurants with which they partner.Food-delivery platforms collect customer orders online,send them to restaurants and deliver the orders to customers.While this service helps restaurants expand their markets,it has disadvantages.More business sounds good,but it comes at the cost of a commission(佣金)charged by the delivery platforms.Besides,a large number of delivery orders might place restaurants under pressure.Delivery orders from the platforms can potentially harm the dine-in experience by slowing down the kitchen,and the expectation of a long-time waiting could stop higher-profit 学科网（北京）股份有限公司5dine-in customers from purchasing.This motivated the researchers to identify an alternative contract to change the situation,They developed a model and found that different possible pairs of dine-in and delivery prices would produce higher or lower general income with certain prices achieving the maximum possible general income.The ideal solution trades off the increased income from delivery orders against the negative impact that those orders have on dine-in income,finding the right balance of dine-in and delivery prices.If the same company were to control both the dine-in and delivery channels,then it would jointly determine the respective(各自的)prices to maximize the general income,said one of the researchers.“But of course,the prices are usually set by two different companies,and each seeks to maximize its own income.The key is to design an appropriately structured contract so that when each party maximizes its individual income,the resulting prices also maximize the general income.”“Delivery platforms are widely seen as a necessity for many restaurants,despite the low profit on a delivery order.A restaurant not on a delivery platform risks losing an order to itscompetitors,and that loss could be a repeat customer,”said one of the researchers.“Food delivery is indeed expected to maintain a large market share.This makes it all the more urgent to improve the relationships between restaurants and platforms.28.What does the novel contract focus on?A.Showing restaurants how to profit from food-delivery platforms.B.Demonstrating the development potential of food-delivery platforms.C.Analyzing the conflict between food-delivery platforms and restaurants.D.Improving the relationship between food-delivery platforms and restaurants.29.How might the food-delivery orders affect the restaurants they work with?A.By introducing their competitors.B.By lengthening their service hours.C.By changing their operating models.D.By driving up the price of their food.30.Which could ease the conflict between food-delivery platforms and restaurants?A.Reasonable dine-in and delivery prices.B.Balanced dine-in and delivery services.C.Limiting the number of food-delivery orders.D.Reducing commissions of food-delivery platforms.31.What can we learn from the last paragraph about food-delivery platforms?A.They are highly profitable.B.They need to be regulated.C.They have strong competitors.D.They are significant for restaurants.DLithium(锂)is a key material to help power clectric vehicles,making the metal vital to reducing carbon footprints.But the combination of lithium mining and climate change seems to have negative consequences for flamingos(火烈鸟)in South America.A team of researchers examined five lakes in South Americas“Lithium Triangle,an area covering parts of Chile,Argentina and Bolivia,where more than 75 percent of the worlds lithium is found.This region is also where three of the worlds six species of flamingos live.However,the 学科网（北京）股份有限公司6researchers found that a lake in Chile has already lost 10 percent of its James flamingos and 12 percent of its Andean flamingos in 11 years.Andean flamingos areconsidered“vulnerable,while James flamingos are near-threatened.2OThese results suggest that continued increases in lithium mining and declines in surface water could soon have dramatic effects on flamingo populations.Lithium mining requires a high volume of water about 400,000 gallons per ton of lithium.Excluding polar areas,the Atacama Desert in Chile is the driest area in the world,meaning that mining water has to come from the ground.As groundwater is used up,those lakes where flamingos live become uninhabitable to the creatures that flamingos feed on,causing the birds to leave or starve.Flamingos are key species in the lakes ecosystems.Theyre also important for tourism in the area.“When flamingos are gone,the area will have fewer tourists,and this could impactlivelihoods in a deep way,said Datu Buyung Agusdinata,a professor at the Arizona StateUniversity.The birds can move around to different lakes to find better conditions,which might notbe possible as mining continues to expand.“Science-based conservation managementguidelines might still allow future preservation of some key ecosystems in the region,saidthMattia Sacco，an ecologist.Still,lithium mining is growing rapidly.“Its impossible to stop mining,study co-nuthor and microbiologist Cristina Dorador Ortiz said.But we need to do it better,32.What is the problem with lithium mining in the“Lithium Triangle”?A.It has not satisfied global demand.B.It has poisoned the food for animals.C.It has polluted the five lakes seriously.D.It has reduced the number of flamingos.33.What is Datu Buyung Agusdinatas concern?A.The development of tourism will be influenced.B.The local people will face a severe water crisis.C.The lakes ecosystems will never be recovered.D.Flamingos will be badly affected by tourism.34.What do researchers say about lithium mining?A.It should be forbidden in certain areas.B.It should adopt some eco-friendly measures.C.Its future is full of various uncertainties,D.Its developing speed should be strictly limited.35.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Flamingos Are Vital To Local Ecosystems B.Lithium Mining Is Continuously Expanded C.Mining Lithium May Threaten Flamingoes D.People Make Efforts To Limit Lithium Mining第二节(共 5 小题;每小题

object of the game is to place the donkeys tail as close as possible to the place where it should actually be.Typically,the winner of a round will receive a small prize.学科网（北京）股份有限公司737 .Generally,you
