How to Make a Budget
Most likely, you aren’t the family breadwinner. But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance (零花钱) would put some money in your pocket. For kids and grown-ups alike, money is easy to spend. If you aren’t careful, it can be gone in no time.
Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn ----and the sooner you start the better. Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special, creating a budget can help you deal with your expenses and plan for the future. All you need are paper and a pencil --- and some self-control.
First, take a look at our sample monthly budget. Then, use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own. In the first two columns (栏), list your sources (来源) of income and how much you expect to earn from them. In the third and fourth columns, list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount.
The left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total. If it is, you have an effective budget.
Sample Monthly Budget
| Monthly Income | Amount | Monthly Expenses | Amount |
| Allowance | $20.00 | Snacks | $26.00 |
| Money earned selling drinks | $25.00 | Music downloads | $12.00 |
| Money earned babysitting | $12.50 | Movies | $18.00 |
| Money earned delivering newspapers | $30.00 | Video rentals | $10.00 |
| Total: | $87.50 | Total | $66.00 |
Budgets are not complex, but sticking to them can be tough. When planning your budget, be
realistic about your expenses. If you know that you drop $18 at a movie, don’t write $12 in
that space simply because you wish you were spending less
If you are eyeing a big purchase, such as a $150 skateboard, spend less and save more until you have the total amount. No matter how attractive it may be, avoid spending your savings. One day, you will thank yourself!

Biopunk：DIY Scientists Hack the Software of Life
By Marcus Wohlsen
Current; 256 pp; $25.95
以下是对这些书的描述。请将这些描述与书籍的图片及相应简介匹配起来。
1.According to Jon Ronson, the writer of the book, psychopaths are very charming, smart, easily bored and cruel. In the book, Ronson takes readers into the fascinating world of psychopaths by speaking to the experts and having amusing conversations with the psychopaths themselves.
2.This book is about a deeply funny story, as well as a deeply sad story—the great Nineties moment when a bunch of punk rock bands from Seattle accidentally blew up into the world’s biggest noise. The author gives the unique chronicle of how it all happened, and how it ended too soon. The book also makes readers appreciate how strange it was.
3.This is just one of the terrifying everyday tales of the body trade documented. It started out extremely well, with some fascinating stories about the trade in human body parts. It covers many different aspects of the “red market”, ranging from skeletons to blood, and even the giant business of collecting and selling human hair.
4.It’s been reported that the author has often attracted as much attention as his cars. The book is partly a biography covering a very short portion of the author’s own life—his second stint at General Motor（GM）—which recently ended after about a decade. However, it’s more than a biography. It is also a view on what went wrong with the US car industry and US industry in general.
5.This is a great book for anyone who has an interest in science, or wants to see advances in medicine at greater rates that we’ve seen them so far. If a reader has teenagers with interests in science, he should have them read this book. It will inspire them to broaden their horizons beyond the typical research lab.
