Saving money is easy when you don’t have anything to spend it on, but what happens when things come suddenly that demand some of your hard-earned money? These are called
expenses (开销).
Chances are, most of your basic living expenses —food, shelter, clothing, medical care —are covered by your family. But perhaps you and your family have agreed that you‘ll pay for certain other expenses out of your own money, such as cell phone bills, after-school snacks, jewelry, or club fees (费用).
Expenses that happen regularly, like every week or month, are called ―fixed‖ expenses.
The good news is that because you know when these expenses are coming, you can plan for
them. But life is full of surprises, and sometimes these surprises turn into expenses, too. You
might have an emergency like fixing a flat tire(车胎) on your bike, or something unusual like
the class trip to Six Flags. These are called “unexpected” expenses and if you are smart with your money, you’ll plan for these as well.
Here‘s a secret when it comes to saving money: if you think of it as a regular expense,
it‘ll be easier to put a certain amount aside. Tell yourself that the $20.00 you are trying to
save up every month is something you must do, and there‘s no getting around it.
What kinds of fixed expenses do you have? Can you think of any unexpected expenses
that have come up for you in the past? Can you think of any you might have now or in the
near future?

D
它问下划线的意思是什么，这里没有，所以我不知道。虽然我看不到下划线，但我看到答案，所以我猜测那个下划线应该是这句save up every month is something you must do, and there‘s no getting around it. ，所以没错的话第4题答案是B
请采纳，或继续提问，谢谢
ps 楼下直接用google translate...再楼下第一题错了，因为它问你要付什么，d是饭，但是这是父母付的，所以应该是c
