Shopping in the sales feels like a subtle way to spend.Lower prices naturally equal money saved. 1 Sometimes you think you’re getting a bargain，but actually you’re paying more than you need to.So，follow the tips below and you’ll hopefully be ①on the right track.
Only buy essentials.You might have been tempted to buy a much higher item than you actually need，simply because we’re dazzled by the size of the discount.So despite the savings made on the full-price item，it’s actually a huge waste of cash. 2 You can even have a “need” note which you add to regularly，allowing you to focus your shopping during the sales.
3 Just because there’s a sale running with a lower price doesn’t mean you can scramble for the goods immediately.If you can wait，some price history websites are a great way to get a sense of any regularly occurring price variations.Certain items will have a life cycle too.Christmas cards and decorations are bargains in January while TVs tend to be at their lowest prices in the early summer when the newer models are released. 4 So this is only a strategy for ②non-essentials.
Check for alternatives.Finally，even if you think you’ve got the best price out there—or at least one you’re happy to pay—it’s worth checking you’re not ③overpaying still when compared to similar products. 5 That could mean staying away from ④high-end brands，looking for secondhand items or trying a different but similar style.
A．Time when you buy.
B．Compare prices now.
C．Sadly，there are tricks played by retailers.
D．It’s easy to get caught up in sales and spend when you don’t need to.
E．The best way to avoid this is to create a must-have list before shopping.
F．There may well be cheaper substitutes that do the same job but cost less.
G．But you might have fewer options to choose from，or will even miss out.

Ensuring that your home is as ①energy-efficient as it can possibly be is essential.Take the steps listed below，and you will be living in an energy-efficient home in no time.
6 To stop it in its tracks，you must invest in having your house insulated(隔熱的)．Taking such action may demand some cost in advance，but it will be sure to save you over ￡100 a year when it comes to your energy bills.
The old boilers(鍋爐) are not as energy-efficient as the very latest models in this field. 7 By investing in a ②top-of-the-line boiler，you’ll no doubt tap into a number of savings.What’s more，making this kind of investment will also be sure to lower your home’s carbon emissions.
Only when you know how much energy you use can you take action to be less wasteful and more ③resourceful in this instance. 8 To assist you in taking on this extremely important challenge，you might want to consider fitting an energy ④monitor in your home. 9 But if you’re lucky，your electricity provider will give you one for free.This monitor will provide you and your family with constant updates on the amount of energy you are using on a day-to-day basis.
With just twelve years (now seven years) to go until climate change alters earth forever，now is the time for you to play your part in protecting the planet that you live in. 10
A．The investment demanded in this instance is significant.
B．Taking such action will help you adapt to climate change.
C．Generally，this type of device will cost between ￡25 and ￡40.
D．It means you should try to keep track of energy consumption.
E．By putting the above advice into practice，you’ll be ⑤green soon.
F．Most of your home’s wasted energy will escape through your roof.
G．It might be high time to update yours if you haven’t done so for years.

It’s no surprise that there’s a link between exercise and mental health.But scientists have now made it official：research has found a direct connection between movement and mood.Why does exercise hold so many benefits for our mental health 11
When our muscles tighten，chains of amino acids(氨基酸) called myokines(肌細(xì)胞因子) are released into the ①bloodstream. 12 This communication increases adaptation to stress，reduces symptoms of anxiety and has a direct effect on depression.
A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine showed that treatment for depression can be much more effective when physical activity is added to the usual care. 13 “While exercise is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment，physical activity can complement and enhance the effects of the treatment，” says lead researcher Ben Singh，a research fellow at the University of South Australia.He says regular exercise in a group setting can boost ②self-esteem and decrease feelings of isolation and ③loneliness.
Exercise helps build key connections between the networks within the brain，too. 14 Studies have shown that physical activity stimulates creativity，sharpens judgement skills and improves mental energy.It can also help to slow ④age-related cognitive decline，possibly even slowing the pace of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
15 In this way you’ll keep going back to them.Experts suggest that you aim for a minimum of 10 to 30 minutes，three to five days each week.Getting sweaty is good for your body and mind.
A．It can improve overall cognitive performance.
B．They help your muscles and organs communicate.
C．The answer，studies say，lies in our brain chemistry.
D．Here are the suggestions that you are supposed to pay attention to.
E．It is amazing to consider how moving our bodies can affect our minds.
F．To get the biggest health boost，the key is to be engaged in sports you enjoy.
G．Participants found benefits after 12 weeks of exercising for 30 to 60 minutes a day.
