keeping us awake 24/7. But one day, he’ll need to learn something about finance. When he does, here are some suggestions.
1. You might think you want an expensive car, a fancy watch, and a huge house. But you don’t. ________67_______. You think having expensive stuff will bring it. It almost never does—especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.
2. The road to financial regret is paved with debt. Some debt, such as a mortgage, is OK. But most spending that results in debt is the equivalent of a drug: a quick hit of pleasure that wears off, only to drag you down for years to come, limiting your options and keeping you weighed down by the baggage of your past.
3. I hope you’re poor at some point. Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of its scarcity. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. ______68_______.These are essential survival skills.
4. If you’re like most people, you’ll spend most of your adult life thinking, “Once I’ve saved/earned $X, everything will be great.” Then you’ll hit $X, move the goalposts, and resume chasing your tail. It’s a miserable cycle. Your goals should be about more than money.
5. Don’t stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18. Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age. Many people don’t know what they want until they’re twice that age. (These are the signs you’re in the wrong career.)
6. The best thing money buys is to control over your time. _______69_______. One day you’ll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy.
7. Change your mind when you need to. I’ve noticed a tendency for people to think they’ve mastered investing when they’re young. They start investing at age 18 and think they have it all figured out by age 19. They never do.
8. Some people are born into families that encourage education; others are from families that are against it. Some are born into flourishing economies; others, into war and poverty. I want you to be successful, and I want you to earn it. But realize that not all success is due to hard work and not all poverty is due to laziness. Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.
9. Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who never earned more than $50,000 and saved a fortune. The difference is entirely due to their spending._______70_______.

10. Don’t listen to me if you disagree with what I’ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More important, you’ll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself. (On the other hand, always listen to your mother.)

Bike-Sharing Schemes Test Shanghai’ Ethics
Shared bikes’ convenience and relatively low fees—after users pay a deposit, every ride within 30 minutes costs just 1 yuan—has proven an attractive proposition. Most shared bike rides in Shanghai start from smartphone apps, which have users scan QR codes with their phones._______67______.
Some of the shared bike users aren’t always willing to share their bikes. For example, Mobike has had some of its bicycles stolen._______68________. In addition, some of the bikes’ QR codes have been defaced (损伤外观) on purpose, making it impossible for anyone to use them. “ We’ve foreseen that such problems will emerge. So, Mobike has introduced a credit point system that punishes rule breakers with higher fares,” said Ma Xiaoran, Mobike’s public relations manager.
Some users have also complained about the weight of the Mobikes and their non-adjustable

seats, so a competitor called ofo, lighter and cheaper, has penetrated into the market. Ofo initially targeted university campuses and is available to the general public now.
Similarly, ofo has also had trouble keeping its bikes from disappearing._______69______. After scanning a bike’s QR code, ofo’s app will give the user a code with which to unlock the bike. However, the locks are flimsy (脆弱的), and a bit of rattling will show the user which buttons to press, foregoing the need to pay. Also, since the bicycles aren’t equipped with GPS, the company cannot easily track the ones that have been stolen.
Posinda, a company from neighboring Jiangsu province, started operating in Yangpu District in late 2014, its only service area of the city. Unlike its competitors, Posinda’s 300 bikes need to be returned to certain locations. “Different from the Mobike model, we have designated stations where our bikes are parked,” Posinda’s general manager, Zhu Minjian, said. “_______70______.” The company, active in 11 cities, is subsidized by local governments, and its bikes can be used for free if returned within one hour. But users need to pay a deposit of 500 yuan to get a card required to unlock the bikes. Keys: 67-70 D F E A

Handwriting has existed for about 6,000 years.It's one of our most important inventions._______67_______.
Most of us know,but often forget,that handwriting is not natural.______68_______. In early America,only wealthy men and businessmen learned to write.A \hand\became a sign of class and intelligence as well as morality.Most, meanwhile,signed legal documents with a mere 'X' and the presence of a witness.Writing only spread to the masses in the 19th century,after schools began teaching handwriting.
______69_______—left-handed students often had their arm tied tightly to their bodies,so they'd learn to write with the “correct” hand.In more modern times,you may remember spending hours learning the correct stroke（笔画）, formation and spacing of upper-and lower-case letters.
But today,schools are shifting the focus to coursework in STEM—short for science,technology,engineering and mathematics. _______7_______.Technology has threatened writing long before every man,woman and child carried a phone.It came with the invention of the typewriter,which standardized written communication,and that same argument will reappear as technology advances.
I don't know if handwriting will ever die.But today,the growing emphasis on typing is having far-reaching effects.To get a glimpse of the future,just look at the youth.Instead of curly Qs or crazy Ls,kids are using emoticons such asorto give a personal touch.
Typing is more democratic,too—it isn't a complicated skill to master.Keyboards are changing the physical connection between writers and text,and people who can't write by hand,like the blind,can now use tools to communicate only by touch.
Sure,I'll miss the writing of letters,and the beautiful and well-practiced signature written with a pen.write.
