La città è stata controllata dall’Impero austroungarico fino alla Prima Guerra Mondiale, quando l’esercito italiano ha occupato la città. Durante il periodo fascista, l’uso della lingua slovena era vietato. Negli anni precedenti la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, la comunità ebraica era perseguitata, con attacchi e distruzioni di proprietà. Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, la città ha sofferto le invasioni dell’esercito iugoslavo e poi l’occupazione delle forze tedesche. Anche se la città aveva problemi durante la prima metà del ventesimo secolo, Trieste è ora una città ricca di cultura ed è un centro economico in Italia. Il clima di Trieste è di solito moderato, con poca umidità, e le temperature non sono troppo alte o basse.

When a hurricane is bearing down on your city, you may find it tempting to ignore the advice of emergency personnel and ride out the storm in your own home. However, if you are in a hurricane's path and have been urged to evacuate, you should always make the choice to leave the area if you are able to do so. Hurricanes are powerful forces of nature with high winds and storm surges that quickly

destroy property and sometimes kill thousands of people. You will risk the lives of yourself and your family members if you remain in your home despite orders to evacuate. Even if you do survive the storm and your home is left intact, the storm's damage to your community may create a new set of hardships that put your family's health and safety at risk. You may be without electricity or clean water for days. Stores may be closed, and you may be unable to obtain food or gasoline. Roads and bridges may be washed away, cutting you off from your sources of supplies. If you decide to stay in your home because you're worried about your deserted house being a target for thieves, remember that you can take many of your valuables with you when you go, and your remaining material possessions should be covered by your homeowners insurance plan. Don't ever risk your life to protect a bunch of things that are replaceable. The subject of this paragraph is A) hurricanes. B) the types of damage caused by hurricanes. C) reasons to evacuate when a hurricane is nearing.

(a) _____ Now, I'm happy to report that my three-step plan worked for me. It wasn't always easy, but I stayed strong and determined, and my hard work paid off. Today, I carry zero balances on my credit cards, have money in the bank, and should be able to afford my new car very soon!

(b) _____ The first thing I did was to figure out my goals, and I decided that I wanted to achieve three things. I wanted to pay off my credit cards, I wanted to have a savings account for emergencies, and I wanted to start saving money for a down payment on a new car. It was important to decide on these goals at the outset because they determined how I completed the next step in the process. (c) _____ Two years ago, my finances were a complete mess. I had a job, but I was in debt, I had no money saved, and I was living paycheck to paycheck. I was just one emergency away from a total disaster, so I resolved to change my financial situation. I knew that the solution did not have to involve winning the lottery or trying to find a higher-paying job. I just needed to do some things differently. So I decided to improve my financial health by following a three-step money management plan. (d) _____ After creating a budget, I stuck to it. I'll be honest: this was sometimes difficult to do. Temptations to stray were always arising. For example, it was hard to have to pass up opportunities to go to concerts and to resist buying new clothes because I didn't have enough left over in my budget. But I stuck to my plan and kept reducing my expenses in order to have the extra cash to pay for my credit card debts and save a little. I also resisted every impulse to get something I wanted by charging it. (e) _____ Once I knew what my goals were, I drew up a monthly budget. I listed all of my fixed expenses, such as rent, phone bill, and credit card payments. Then I budgeted extra money toward my credit card payments so that I could get them paid off. I also set aside a monthly amount to add to my savings account. Once I did that, I had very little money left over for entertainment and nonessentials, like new CDs. However, I kept reminding myself that I would be able to buy these kinds of things once I met my goals. A) c, b, e, d, a B) b, e, c, a, d C) c, a, b, d, e
