To Lease(租赁) or Not to Lease
Planning to lease a car because you don’t 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. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease a new 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.

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.
11. One reason to have one’s own business is that one can have more
A. flexible working hours B. support from others
C. available resources D. life experience
12. A small business owner usually has
A. a more colorful life B. a bigger profit
C. less stress from work D. longer working time
13. Fawkner ’ s business ran into trouble because
A. it was taken over by her husband B. she had a serious mental problem
C. it was hit by the financial crisis D. she started a-mental health program
14. Fawkner didn’t feel so alone because
A. she had her family around B. she could watch DVD at work
C. others had similar experiences D. the counselor was helpful to her
15. According to Fawkner, small business owners need more
A. financial aid B. technical knowledge
C. management skills D. mental health assistance

Secrets for a Happier You
Some people are naturally blessed with a cheerful character. They spread warmth and sunshine wherever they go. They attract people like bees to honey. So what is it that makes
these people so different from others?
①The 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

boost brain power. Therefore, work towards improving your relationships and take time off to get in touch with friends. This will lift some burden off your shoulders, especially when

③ Thirdly, do not hold a grudge ( 怨 恨 ) against anyone. Instead, learn to be kind, generous, and forgiving towards others, even to the person who hurt you. Be sympathetic and understanding, and try not to criticize others. Focus on the positives of a person instead of the
negatives, for none of us is born perfect. It will keep your heart and mind free and peaceful.
④Besides, involve yourself in some creative process, be it dancing, writing or drawing. This can bring out the hidden talent in you to achieve magical happiness. Or pick up new skills and feel the great sense of satisfaction by carrying out certain tasks which you otherwise
would never have felt.

Cultural Differences in England and France
Cultural differences can take many forms. I have noticed many differences in French culture compared to 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. 26.
Firstly, it’s the kissing. Everyone kisses each other on the cheek. It’s a greeting, instead of 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 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. 28. 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. 29. 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 30.
A. 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 necessary.

Green Transportation
I do a lot of things to support green transportation, such as riding a bike, taking a bus and walking. But I prefer riding a bike.
When I was a little child, I did not know how to ride a bike. My mother taught me to ride a bike after dinner every day. After I grow up, I learn to ride a bike by myself. Shortly afterwards, I teach my boy to ride a bike every day as well. I am used to riding a bike to work. Till now, it is my favorite. It helps me to get a healthy body and reduce pollution.
I hope that everyone can enjoy the fun of riding a bike, which is really helpful for our environment.
