    In this week's Students Around the World ,Kim talks with Lisa Conroy, a college student from the USA，about her expenses(花费)．

(K=Kim；L=Lisa)

K：Thanks for talking with me today, Lisa．{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

L：Well．I'm twenty—one，and I'm studying at a university in Chicago.

K：{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

L：My expenses for every term are almost$15，000．At the start of each term parents pay the $10,000 tuition(学费)．I also get$2，000 from my college．I have to earn(挣)$3，000 myself．

K：How do you do that?

L：I have a part—time job at a hotel．I work about twenty hours a week，and cam$300．

K：{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

L：It helps to pay for my rent(房租)and meals at college．It also pays for things like my phone，books，and clothes．

K：{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

L：That's true! My mother advised me to spend my money carefully so I don't have to borrow．I hardly ever go to the movies．My roommates and I usually watch movies online，so it's cheaper．

K：{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

L：I don't go to restaurants．I cook with my roommates so it's cheaper to eat．I try to walk or ride my bicycle to college. Oh，and I buy a lot of my clothes at second-hand stores．You can find some very cheap，nice clothes in those stores．

A: Dale, welcome to my room!

B: Wow， {#blank#}1{#/blank#}room is nice and tidy．

A: Thanks．

B: Is this a(n) {#blank#}2{#/blank#}?

A: Yes, it is. This model plane is white. Look! Here is a yellow one．

B: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is that in your bookcase?

A: It's a tape player. But it's not  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

B: Is it your brother's?

A: Yes.

B: {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the radio? Is it your brother's, too?

A: No, it's my radio．

A: How times flies! Junior high school is ending soon! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}？

B: Yes, I've got a plan to Japan.

A:{#blank#}2{#/blank#}?

B: Because I'm crazy about the ocean park in Japan. Would you like to come with me?

A:{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. My parents promised that I could travel abroad with my friend after the High School Entrance Examination.

B: Great! Then we need to prepare for the trip now. It will save a lot of money if we prepare everything earlier.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}?

A: Good idea! Which website shall we use to book the air ticket?

B: Either Xiecheng or Qunaer. I heard that they are both very convenient.

B: I'm sure I will find the best information.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}?

A: I think August is the best time to visit.

B: Sounds great!

A: I visited the Museum of Failure last week.

B: Museum of Failure? I've never heard of it. What was on show?

A: {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Some of them were made by the most famous and successful companies like Apple and Coca﹣cola.

B: {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Does it make fun of these companies?

A: {#blank#}3{#/blank#}The companies always encourage young people to try and make mistakes.

B: {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

A: Because they believe a person who never makes a mistake never tries anything new.

B: I see. Probably this is why the companies don't think it's shameful to have a show of their failed products.

A: You are right. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}The key is whether or not you can learn from your mistakes.

Alan: Hey, John! This Saturday well go to the art museum again, right?

John: Oh, no!{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Alan: Where do you want to go?

John: I want to go to the water park.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Alan: No, never

John: {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Alan: Sure, I'd love to. I think it must be a great way to spend Saturday.

John: I also think so.

Alan: {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

John: Neither. How about riding a bike?

Alan: {#blank#}5{#/blank#}See you this Saturday.

John: See you.
