Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits. Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money, and that it may be used up one day. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make. We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget (预算) . In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can’t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices. We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal will greatly satiate us. We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account (账户) is? If not, communicate with our parents. We can also go to the supermarket with our parents to experience how money is spent in the real world. Without doubt, we should treat money in a right way. Actually, learning about money isn’t a hard job. From these lessons, we can get a sense of money management and right money values step by step! 11. Where does money come from according to the text? A. Parents’ hard work. B. Kids’ life lessons. C.

I’m so excited to share with you a special Chinese handicraft—paper cutting. Paper cutting is a traditional Chinese folk art that has been around for over 1, 500 years. When making paper cuts, people turn simple pieces of paper into beautiful designs. The paper usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common shapes are flowers, animals and characters from Chinese folk stories. During the Spring Festival, beautiful paper cuts are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year. I recommend paper cutting because it not only shows the creativity of Chinese people but also carries deep cultural meaning. It reflects the values, beliefs and customs of Chinese people.

B Chinese calligraphy is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. Calligraphy started in China and spread to other parts of Asia with Chinese culture. It has a history of 4,000 to 5,000 years. Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters (汉字) and rules of writing with a brush. When you practice calligraphy, it is important to pay attention to the changes of the strokes (笔画) and the spaces between characters. There are many famous calligraphers in history, such as Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing. Different calligraphy works can show different calligraphers’ feelings and personalities.

He fell in love with Chinese calligraphy as soon as he saw Zhang Daqian’s works. The tool for practicing calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made from the hair of different animals. Practicing calligraphy takes a lot of time and many people take lessons to learn it. During the lessons, they can learn how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practicing with a teacher right away. Calligraphy, an amazing traditional art form, shows the love that all Chinese people have for culture and beauty.

A. ①/ ② ③ ④ ⑤ B. ① ② ③ ④ / ⑤ C. ① / ② ③ / ④ ⑤ D. ① / ② ③ ④ / ⑤ C At an early age, we start learning how to manage money by watching our parents’ spending habits. Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits. Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money, and that it may be used up one day. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make. We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget (预算) . In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can’t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices. We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal will greatly satiate us. We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account (账户) is? If not, communicate with our parents. We can also go to the supermarket with our parents to experience how money is spent in the real world. Without doubt, we should treat money in a right way. Actually, learning about money isn’t a hard job. From these lessons, we can get a sense of money management and right money values step by step! 11. Where does money come from according to the text? A. Parents’ hard work. B. Kids’ life lessons. C. Good spending habits. D. The bank account. 12. What does the writer want kids to do by giving the example of buying a bicycle? A. Buy a wonderful notebook. B. Make a free spending choice. C. Set a goal of saving money. D. Have an experience of shopping. 13. What does the underlined word “satiate” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Relax. B. Interest. C. Surprise. D. Satisfy. 14. Which of the following will the writer probably agree with? A. Adults can make money grow more. B. Kids should have a money spending plan. C. Parents may give kids lots of pocket money. D. Supermarkets will be places to change money. 15. What is the best title for the text? A Causes of Spending Money B. Ways of Managing Money C. Purposes of Treating Money D. Conditions of Saving Money D In my opinion, the wheel (轮子) is the most important thing that human beings have ever invented.
