We imagined thefalling snow or a family sitting around their fireplace enjoying steaming hot chocolate. It seemed sopleasant. In reality, snow can be really messy.I can understand why kids love snow. They get two hours, a half day or a whole day off fromschool. Then the playtime begins. The kids build snowmen, slide down hills on snowboards or have snowball fights.For adults, it’s not that much fun. Most cities and communities have special vehicles to removethe snow from the streets. They also spread salt mixed with sand to prevent ice on sidewalks and roadways. But cleaning our own driveway is such a bother. We have to remove the snow ourselves. Ifwe don’t, the icy surface can be dangerous.Despite these troubles, snow can also be exciting, especially if you love to ski. I remember whenwe went to Colorado for a ski camp years ago. We started by attending a beginner s’class. We learned how to slide, stop, turn and get up after a fall. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.(Now listen again, please)Questions:14.

I usually pay off my entire bill at the end of the month.M: Glad you pay off each month, but many people don’t. Credit cards present a huge temptation to spend. It’s easier to know how much you spend when using only cash.W: Perhaps, but I also feel safer knowing I can use my card in an emergency.M: I think it’s better to save money in an emergency fund. Then you don’t go into debt.W: Yeah, emergency funds are important, but credit cards can be accessed more easily. And you don’t have to carry so much cash. That means your money is less likely to get stolen.M: But what if your card gets stolen? That can be worse.W: Not really. You can cancel your card. And the company covers most of the cost of things bought with a stolen card. If cash gets stolen, it’s gone. Moreover, many cards offer rewards like store discounts or points.M: Yes, they do give out points, but most people don’t use them.W: Maybe. Well, I’m done. Let’s get in line at the check-out. And I’m going to use my credit card.M: That’s your choice, but I’m sticking with cash.(Now listen again, please)Questions:17.
