Do some brainstorming about your expenses and how you could possibly cut back on them.

It is wise to write them down on paper because it is less easy to dismiss them that way.

For example, can you cut down on the amount of gas you use by taking public transportation？

If you eat out often, consider making more meals at home.

听力原文： In some countries certain kinds of insurance are compulsory. In others, most

kinds are practically unknown. In addition, the cost of insurance and the type of coverage provided vary widely from country to country. But the basic principle of insurance remains the same, that is, to share the possible risk. Is it wise to spend money on insurance even though a claim may never be made？ Is keeping a spare tire in the car a wasted investment, even if the tire is never needed？ The sense of security to the car driver may make the expense of the extra tire worthwhile. While financial compensation cannot make up for certain losses, it may compensate for other losses. Much of the insurance bought by individuals falls into the categories of property, health, disability and life insurance. Property insurance is to insure against the loss of property — home, business, cars, or other possessions. It is the most common form. of risk management. Health insurance pays some medical expenses or may pay for only certain medical care. In many places workers may receive insurance as a condition of their employment. Disability insurance provides some income if a person is injured and cannot work. Life insurance provides financial assistance to a persons dependents in the case of his or her death. Such insurance has enabled many families to pay off outstanding debts and carry on their routine of life after the injury or the death of their main breadwinner. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard. 16. What is the basic principle of insurance？ 17. Why does the speaker mention the spare tire？ 18. What kinds of insurance are mentioned in this talk？17．

A．To tell us that accidents may take place at any time.

B．To prove that it is wise to spend money on insurance.

C．To prove that buying insurance is a wasted investment.

D．To tell us that the sense of security is very important in driving.

Advertising informs consumers about new products available on the market.It gives us i

nformation about everything from shampoo to tooth-paste to computers and cars.But there is one series problem with this.The "information" is actually very often "misinformation".It tells us the products, benefits but hides their disadvantages.Advertising not only leads us to buy things that we don't need and can't afford, but it also confuses our sense of reality.

Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products.One of their most successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect lives.Advertisements show us who we aren't and what we don't have."Why don't I have any dates (约会)？" a good-looking girl sadly asks in a commercial."Here," replies her roommate, "Try Zoom tooth-paste!" Of course she tried it, and immediately the whole football team falls in love with her."That's a stupid commercial," we might say.But we still buy Zoom tooth-paste out of fear of being unpopular and having no friends.

If fear is the negative motive (动机) for buying a product, then wanting a good self-image is the positive reason for choosing it.Each of us has a mental picture of the kind of person we would like to be.For example, a modern young woman might like to think that she looks like a beautiful movie star.A middle-aged man might want to see himself as a strong, attractive athlete.Advertisers know this.They write specific ads to make certain groups of people choose their products.

Advertisers get psychologists to study the way consumers think and their reasons for choosing one brand instead of another.These experts tell advertisers about the motives of fear and self-image.They also inform. them about recent studies with colors and words.They have found that certain colors on the package of an attractive product will cause people to reach out and take that package instead of buying an identical (同一的、相等的) product with different colors.

Many people believe that advertising does not affect them.They like to think they make wise choices.Unfortunately, they probably don't realize the powerful effect of advertising.They may not clearly understand that advertisers spend billions of dollars each year in aggressive (强有力的) competition for our money, and they are extremely successful.
