Research has shown tissue works fine without a cover.

They promise to make minimum payments if you lose your job. But they add a significant amount to your monthly bill- money better spent paying down balances.
他們答應(yīng)你在失業(yè)時(shí)給予最低付款。但他們?cè)谀愕拿吭沦~單上收取的錢(qián)遠(yuǎn)多于此。

Americans are eating out more than ever, and an inexpensive microwave heats take-out quite well.
現(xiàn)在的美國(guó)人大多出去吃飯。而一個(gè)便宜的微波爐卻讓你去加熱外賣(mài)。
