College is an exciting time to learn and to make friends that will last a lifetime. Many students do not like to worry about money, and they would rather not think about it. But it doesn’t matter

whether a student’s parents pay for e 58 or whether the student works part-time to help pay for his or her education. All students can get into money t 59 if they don’t give attention to it.

The cost of a college education can be quite e 60 . In English-speaking countries, the average cost per student per year is well over US $10,000. Students must also pay for books, paper, pens, etc. These can cost $500 to $1,000 per year. Students who live in university housing pay thousands more per year for room and board. A 61 money for clothes, travel, and other personal expenses (花费), and the average cost of one year at a university can be $20,000 to $30,000 or more.

Students need to spend their money c 62 . At most universities, advisors can give students advice on how to plan to spend their money. They suggest this: at the start of a school semester (学期), write down your income (收入); for example, money you will get from your family or a part-time job. Then, list all of our expenses. Put your expenses into two g 63 : those that change (food, phone, books, travel), and those that will stay the same (tuition, room and board). Put all of your expenses together. Are they more than your income? Do you have enough money, or do you need more? Learning not to spend more money than you have is not always easy. But for many, it is easier than borrowing money from family or friends.

Fill in the blanks with proper words. （在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格 限填一词，首字母已给） Future School

Some people believe that schools will not be n in the near future. They say that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no need for school buildings, classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world had no schools, I couldn’t imagine (想象) how our society would be.

In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools b 65 . We should invent a new kind of school. It will link to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies.

Companies will create learning programs for schools. Scientists can give talks to students t 66 the Internet. TV networks and local TV stations can d 67 programs about the students who are studying at school. Labs can set up websites to show new technology so that students could see it online. Is this a daydream? No. This has already taken place in many cities. Businesses provide programs for schools and society. Schools provide computer labs for people with their own computers at home.

Therefore, people have already s 68 in learning at home, at school and in the office in those cities. Everyone can visit faraway libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones and everyone can go on the Internet, and older people use it as much as younger ones. How will this new kind of school c 69 the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it.
