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.They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term.For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car.If you were to buy the 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 might otherwise be able to afford.For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer.For the same price, you might have to buy a used 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 car you 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 pay when the lease is over .Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles.If you go over that, you must pay for each mile.As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees.In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle.Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car. By now, the benefits of buying over leasing should be clear.Remember: whatever model you can afford to buy, it is yours after you make the payments.There's no giving back, and that makes all the difference.单选题1.People usually think leasing a car can save money.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given 正确答案：A参考解析：暂无解析单选题2.Leasing a car costs less in the long term.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given 正确答案：B参考解析：暂无解析单选题3.More people like to lease cars than before.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given 正确答案：C参考解析：暂无解析单选题4.People can lease a car they cannot afford.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given 正确答案：A参考解析：暂无解析单选题5.Young people prefer to lease the latest models of cars.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given 正确答案：C参考解析：暂无解析单选题6.Ford Explorer is the most popular model in the leasing market.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given 正确答案：C参考解析：暂无解析单选题7.People often pay more than they expect for a lease.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given 正确答案：A参考解析：暂无解析单选题8.People need to pay for each mile they drive during the lease.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given 正确答案：B参考解析：暂无解析单选题9.Leasing companies pay for repairs to the leased cars.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given 正确答案：B参考解析：暂无解析单选题10.The author advises people to buy an affordable car.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given 正确答案：A参考解析：暂无解析Mental Illness Hits Small Business Owners Hard While there is a growing focus on mental health in the workplace, there are fewer resources and support available to those running small businesses. There are many reasons people choose to have their own business being their own boss, working on something they love, being able to set their own hours, or having some control over whom they work with.Yet the reality many small business owners face is far less attractive-financial stress, long working hours and unclear boundaries between work and family life.And all of these factors can have a huge impact on their mental health. Leanne Fawkner is a business owner of an award-winning skin-care range(系列产品)She knows very well the impact that a small business can have on, the mental health of its owner.When her successful business struggled due to the global financial crisis, she suffered a lot mentally."As business slowed, I was more and more affected, "she says."I couldn't separate myself from my business.It was the worst experience of my life.I could no longer go to work and was crying all day ?” Fawkner was diagnosed with depression.She had to take several months off work.Fortunately, her husband was able to keep things going while Fawkner was recovering.She saw a counselor (咨询师)for help and took part in a workplace mental health promotion program.This program was designed for small to medium business owners. "The stories on the DVD in the program were so helpful.I was crying because I didn't feel so alone." For Fawkner, small business owners are overlooked.While employees in larger organizations often have access to employee assistance programs, small business owners are struggling on their own.单选题11.One

they go.They attract people like bees to honey.So what is it that makes these people so different from others? The most important secret to happiness is to be grateful for the good things in your life-whatever may be your financial position.Instead of appreciating material wealth, be thankful for the loved ones in your life and enjoy the little pleasures of life that come your way. The next important secret is to develop relationships.Increasing social contacts helps boost brain power.Therefore, work towards improving your relationships and take time off to get in touch with friends.This

English culture, from the way people dress, to their attitudes towards food, to what they do for fun.One thing that has struck me in particular in France is personal interactions with each other._1_ Firstly, it's the kissing.Everyone kisses each other on the cheek.It's a greeting, instead of saying "hi" or "hello " _2_ 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 I'm in a hurry, I am still expected to make time to give acquaintances a quick kiss on the cheek as I rush past.I don't mind it._3_ It quickly turns strangers into acquaintances, and acquaintances into friends. Another thing that I've noticed is that people France are much more open with people they don't know._4_ In France, however, on long train journeys people have often started 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
