【解析】
1. 定位原文第一段“the lucky money always disappears so quickly”，对应固定短语run out（用完），主语lucky money为第三人称单数，故填runs；
2. 定位原文第二段“Careful budgets can help you save for the things you want”，可知需填careful；
3. 定位原文第二段“A budget is a plan to control where your money goes”，对应固定搭配under control，故填control；
4. 表格此处对应“做预算的方法”，故填How/Ways；
5. 原文区分needs（必需品）和wants（非必需），此处指“非必需的东西”，故填necessary/needed；
6. 原文明确区分needs和wants，故填difference/differences；
7. 原文提到“List what you must spend on needs... and what you save for wants”，对应固定搭配as well as，故填well；
8. 原文“if there is money left over”，此处指“剩余的钱”，故填left；
9. 原文“we have to make choices”，对应固定搭配make a choice，故填choice/decision；
10. 原文“Any budget will change”，说明预算不是固定的，故填fixed/unchangeable。
