2．Education system
  There are two types of schools in the US：public and private schools．Students studying at public schools do not have to pay tuition fees （学费） because the schools get funding （资金） from the government．Private schools，however，have to seek their own funding，so they may charge parents a high fee．

14．Sometimes we are used to drawing a quick conclusion（结论），But is it right or not？My little son gave me a（78）lesson．
One day，I took my five-year-old son to go out for a walk after dinner．On the way，we saw an old woman selling fruits．I didn't take enough money with me．（79）Although/Thoughmy son liked eating fruit very much，I could buy only two pears and gave them to him．
The little boy held the pears in his hands．I asked him if he could share one （80）withme．On hearing this，he quickly took a bite（咬） from one pear，and the （81）other．
I was quite surprised．I（82）asked/questionedmyself what mistakes I had made in educating my son so that he acted in such a greedy（贪婪） way．I was lost in thought．Perhaps I was just （83）thinkingtoo much．My son was too young to know about sharing and giving．
Suddenly，my son gave me the pear in his right hand and said，"Mom，you have this one．This one is much sweeter．"Then I knew why my little son took a bite from （84）eachpear．
From then on，I always tell myself not to reach a conclusion too（85）quickly．Try to spend some more time in understanding things better．

13．If you want to stay out of debt（债务），you need to set a budget．First，know what you are spending your money on．Write down what you buy and how much you spend．You can use an app or a computer program．Then look at your information．First，write how much your food，housing，transportation，and other monthly bills like electricity cost．These are your needs．Then write your goals．These are any debts you have to pay and money you want to save．Then write the other things you enjoy．These are extras，such as going to restaurants，movies，or the gym．These are the things you like but don't need．How much do you spend on these extras each month？
Now look at your income．Your income is the amount of money you make each month．How much of it do you  spend on needs，goals，and extras？One good rule is 50percent of your  paycheck is for your needs．Pay for things in this order：needs first，goals second，and extras third．The first step in setting a budget is to know where your money goes．Then you can make payments，plan for your goals，and make good choices．
