However, some people think the purpose of life is to enjoy moment, so they spend all they have earned. Even though Bryan and Peter are close friends, their spending habits are very different.Bryan is very careful about using his pocket money. He only spends money when it’s necessary. For example, when his pocket money is only $50,he may spend $20 on necessary stationery for schoolwork. He will try to deposit the remaining $30 in his savings account. In his opinion, though the amount is small, it will help him for a possible rainy day since people never know what could happen in the future.Unlike Bryan, Peter usually spends money at will. He often purchases expensive electronic products such as an iPhone and iPad. Sometimes, he might buy himself an expensive brandname shirt or a pair of expensive brand name shoes. Different from Byan, he never deposits extra money in a bank after meeting his basic needs. To him, saving money in a bank is something silly because he believes that he can always earn big money after he gets a decent job in the future.All in all, Bryan and Peter are very different in the way they spend money. Spending money wisely and saving extra money for future urgent needs enable students to manage their finance and fully concentrate on their study. They will also derive great pleasure from the way they handle their money.大發(fā)現(xiàn)年代，也被稱為大勘探年代，是歐洲進行全球勘查的一個歷史時期，始于15世紀(jì)初并一直持續(xù)到18世紀(jì)。 這一時期通常被認(rèn)為是中世紀(jì)和近代之間的橋梁， 當(dāng)時西方帝國主義剛興起，歐洲各王國之間正在經(jīng)濟上互相競爭，他們想通過建立貿(mào)易路線和殖民地來尋找財富。 在這一時期眾多偉大的探險家中，最杰出的是克里斯托弗?哥倫布，因為他發(fā)現(xiàn)了新大陸。歐洲的海外擴張導(dǎo)致了殖民帝國的崛起，舊大陸與新大陸的接觸也促進了兩邊的互相交換：大量的植物、動物、食物、文化等得到遷移。這代表了歷史上生態(tài)、農(nóng)業(yè)和文化在全球范圍內(nèi)最重大的活動之一。歐洲大勘探讓繪制全球性的世界地圖成為可能，從而使人們看到一個新的世界與古老的文明正遙相呼應(yīng)。The Silk Road is a traffic route in the ancient times connecting China and Eurasia. This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name “the Silk Road”. As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization. Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of “One Belt, One Road”(namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21stcentury Maritime Silk Road). The strategy of “One Belt, One Road” focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, winwin, as well as mon development of the related countries. Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road.Key to Unit5 Text BReading Skills12.
