To Lease（

租赁

）or Not to Lease

Planning tolease a car because you don't think you can afford to buy?

Think again. Leasingcan end up being just as expensive as buying.

Most peoplethink about leasing because they believe it will cost them

less money. They'reright-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For

example, if you were tolease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300

per month for the car. If youwere to buy the same car, you would pay

about $400per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big

savings. But afteryour lease is over, you have to give the car back.

Many peoplewant to lease because they can drive a more expensive car

than they might otherwisebe able to afford. For example, if you spend

$300 monthly on a car, you mightbe able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For

the same price, you might have to buya used Explorer, or buy a new but

much less expensive model. A lease ,therefore , allows you to drive the

latest models of moreexpensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it,and

it will always have a resell or trade-in（

以新旧换

）value if you want to upgrade to a new car later.

Furthermore,people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when thelease is

over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you goover that, you must pay for each mile.

As a result, you may end up payingthousands of dollars in mileage（

里程

）fees.

In addition, when you lease ,you have topay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since

you must returnthe car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.

By now, thebenefits of buying over leasing should be clear. Remember: whatever model youcan afford

to buy, it is yours after you make the payments. There's no givingback, and that makes all the difference.

Differences in England and France Cultural differencescan take manyforms. I have noticed many

differences in French culture comparedto English culture, from the way people dress, to their attitudes

towards food,to what they do for fun. One thing that has struck me in particular in Franceis personal

interactions with each other. 26 Firstly, it's the kissing. Everyone kisses each

even if I'm in a hurry, I am still expected to make

time togive acquaintances a quick kiss on the cheek as I rush past. I don't mind it. 28 It quickly

turns strangers into acquaintances,and acquaintances into r thingthat I've noticed is

that people France are much more open with people theydon't know. _______ 29 ____________ In France,

however,on long train journeys people have often started a conversation with me for noreason. They have

a chat simply to pass the time. And I really enjoy being ableto share a part of my life and my story

themost part, open and at ease talking to strangers 30 A. In fact, I quite like it.B. They differ a lot
