Everybody has to buy or sell things sometimes. Even students who are usually not very rich, have to learn something about making purchases intelligently. As a student, you may find, for example, that you need to a walkman or winter clothing. You may want to buy a television or a used car. Of course, you want to get good value for your money. If you are considering a major purchase, or any purchase you should remember several important things.

※Study first, and then decide what to buy. You can learn a lot just by reading books and advertisements.

 Remember that a high quality product will probably last longer and work better. Of course, for a superior product you are expected to pay more. An inferior product may not give you the same quality, but the price could be low. A poor quality product could be expensive and a valuable one could be on sale at a greatly reduced price.

※Don’t worry. Take your time. After you decide what product you want to buy, go to many different stores. If you cannot find the product you want, you try to order it directly from the factory or ask the store to order it for you.

Look for a good deal. If you wait, you may probably find that your product will go on sale and you may be able to save 10,20, or even 50 percent of the original price.

Finally, before you buy, make sure that that product is guaranteed. If you find the lowest possible price, you will generally be happy with your purchase and also keep more money in the bank.

Which of the following should you care more while shopping?

  A. The price of the product    B. The information of the product

  C. The size of the product     D. The quality of the product

According to the writer, waiting before shopping probably means_____.

  A. saving money           B. wasting money

   A. getting enough information about the product

   B. taking your friend’s advice

   C. making sure about the guarantee of the product

   D. waiting until the proper time

You work hard for your money so why not keep it? Nothing is more disappointing than working hard all week just to have nothing to spend on the weekends or even worse, having to sit at home on vacation. Try these simple tips to help gain back your financial independence.

1．Educate yourself. Write down what you have spent. Look closely at where your money has been going the last few months. Are you spending a lot more money on morning coffee than you want to? Just by adding up what you're spending and where you're spending it each month will help you make better decisions about the purchases you make.

2．Keep your change. Instead of spending your change, make a habit of putting it all in a special jar or “piggy bank” at home. You will be surprised how quickly your change adds up. Want to go on a family vacation next summer but don't think you can afford it? Try having everyone in the family contribute their change to a “vacation jar”. Your family will enjoy pitching in and your children will learn valuable lessons in saving money and enjoying the reward.

3．Be a host! Like to go out with your friends for a good time? Sure, everyone does, but no one likes getting the bill at the end of the night. Going out to eat and have a few drinks can really put the strain on your wallet. Try going to the grocery store and purchasing food and drinks that can be made at home and inviting everyone over. Yes it can be expensive to play the host every time, but if you take turns going to friends, houses you can keep the cost down and still have a good time while enjoying the same food and drinks.

4．Plan your groceries. Grocery shopping can be dangerous in many ways. One way is to go shopping when you are hungry. Think about it, when you are hungry and want something to eat, you are more likely to put everything in your cart that you just don't need. Impulse(沖動(dòng))shopping brings us to the next point. Make a list(and check it twice)．Plan out your meals for the coming week and list all the ingredients you need at the store.

Saving money can be easy and even funny when you see how much you are able to save. Start by educating yourself and your family as to where the money goes every month and then set goals. Make games out of saving your change and look forward to the reward.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills.   __1__

Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that's not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list. __2__

Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save. __3__. Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue”is worth the investment (投資). However, it's important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.

__4__ Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary，because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill. __5__ If the grocery list is a short one，some shoppers choose to use the small hand­held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.

A．A carefully planned list should include in season produce and any items on sale or discounted through coupons (優(yōu)惠券)．

B．Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist the temptation to buy additional items.

C．People who are full are less tired and more likely to buy what they want.

D．Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list, it's time to leave for the store.

E. You should keep your shopping list carefully in case you can exchange it for coupons.

F. Most shoppers are less persuaded to buy extra goods when they are not hungry.

G. Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list，and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.
