When she looked around her house, Betty Margaret saw lots of electronics. Along with the usual things like her laptop and smartphone, there were all of her kids' electronic devices: cell phones, video game devices and more! There seemed to be more than enough ways for her and her three children to be online all day, every day.

Ms Margaret worried that her kids were becoming too dependent on the Internet and electronics. Then she began to reread one of her favourite books, Henry Thoreau's Walden, which gave Ms Margaret an idea. Thoreau spent 2 years in a simple cabin without running water, and having to grow his own food. Maybe she and her family could live without such luxuries as computers and electronic devices for a while.

Ms Margaret talked with her kids and explained that she wanted the family to try living for 6 months without the Internet, cell phones, TV, and video games. Ms Margaret writes articles for a newspaper in Australia, and had written several books as well. She told her children that if they agreed, she would write a book about their experience and they could go on a trip abroad with the money from sales of the book. Her three children agreed, and "the experiment，" as Ms Margaret called, began.

Over the course of the experiment, the Margaret children had different reactions to life without electronics. Before the experiment began, Anni, the eldest of the children, read books more than her younger brother and sister. She therefore had a relatively easy adjustment to the family's new lifestyle. Anni could also use the library's computer for her homework. Bill, who loved to play video games before the experiment began, had to find a way to spend all of his new free time. He started to spend more time practicing his saxophone (萨克斯管). Susan, the youngest child in the family, had the hardest time adjusting to life without electronics. She felt restless for the first weeks and later, influenced by her elder sister, gradually began to find interest in the novel experiences brought by various books.

注意：1）续写词数应为150左右；

2）请按如下格式作答。

The family carried on with the experiment for the 6 months without technology controlling their lives.

……

Ms Margaret wrote the book she had planned.

It's 2020. I mean, it's high time we should think over saving seriously. Despite your own ways to deal with money,

Take the priority principle

Instead of saving here and there, take the priority principle to saving money. Basically you need to rank your expenses,

To make dealing with money more targeted for you, choose a personal finance book. I recommend Ramit Sethi's I Will Teach You to Be Rich ($14). It's a good book for those in their 20s because it picks out practical personal finance advice in a fun and easy read.

Let technology aid you

Use web tools to make it easier to manage your money. There are free sites that let you view all of your accounts in one place and provide tools that help determine where it would be easiest to cut spending. There are even apps that will save money on gas and let you text for free.

Automating(自动化)

It's generally better than relying on your random decision. If you're already automating, try to increase the amount by five percent every year.

A. Learn financial management.

B. so we can choose the best from them.

C. then make a plan to save the biggest expenses first.

D. Consider downloading apps that will help you save.

E. here are still several saving tips that help you grow your money.

F. You need to learn good money habits as soon as you have money of your own through work.

G. The best way to make sure you're saving enough is to automatically put a part of your money into your savings and retirement accounts every month.

    I was in the garden with Augie, my grandson, watching the bees. "How do they make honey?" Augie asked. "Actually, Augie, I don't know," I replied. "But, Grandmom, you have your phone," he said. For Augie, holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything.

    During my childhood I was crazy about a powerful device (设备) that transports the user to an alternate reality. I spent most of my waking hours on it, unaware of the world around me. The device was, of course, the book. Over time, reading hijacked (控制) my brain, as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word. As far as I can tell, this early immersion (沉浸) didn't prevent my development, but it did leave me with some illusions (幻想)– my idea of romantic love surely came from novels.

    Many parents worry that "screen time" will damage children's development, but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded. There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep, in people of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions (限制) on screen exposure (暴露). Last year, the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations. The new guidelines emphasize that what matters is content and context, what children watch and with whom.

    New tools have always led to panicky (紧张不安的) guesses. The novel, the telephone, and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization, particularly in the hands of the young. Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new, while children's brains are designed to master new environments naturally. New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them, and transparent and obvious – not really technology at all – to those children like Augie.

    When Augie's father got home, Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement. "Daddy, Daddy, look," he said, reaching for my phone. "Do you know how bees make honey? I'll show you…"

    Your next car could have two seats, three wheels two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side. The driver is positioned in (he center with the passenger directly behind.

    The starting price for the car is just ＄6.800. It has only one door, on the left side, which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it cheaper. It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elio's long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商).

    Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motora. In 2008, tired of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating US manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable cars. "Whatever matters to you, this can move the needle on," he said.

    Already, more than 27,000 people have reserved one. Paul hopes to make 250,000 cars a year by 2020. So far, reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second or third car for work. Paul Elio believes the car will interest college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable, though.
