Unit 3 Money单元话题读写组合练 选材聚焦本单元话题，回答问题语篇以多种文本体裁呈现，难度递升；翻译以单元核心词汇及语法为依托，难度适中；书面表达遴选3篇不同角度的话题作文。 任务型阅读 Passage 01 Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。) Money is something that people often talk about in daily life. Some think it can buy almost everything, from fancy clothes to exciting amusement park tickets, while others believe it’s not the most important thing in the world. Lily, an eighth-grader who used to love buying cute stickers and tasty snacks, once had a simple idea: money was just for buying snacks and toys that could make herself happy. Last week, Lily’s class planned a charity sale to raise money for kids in a poor mountain village who lacked basic stationery. She hesitated at first but finally decided to sell her favorite storybooks and handmade bracelets that she had spent weeks making. At first, she worried no one would buy them because the items were not brand-new. But to her joy, many teachers and students came to her stall, and she raised 200 yuan in total. When Lily sent the money to the village school with her classmates, she saw the kids’ big smiles as they received  new pencils, notebooks and colorful erasers. At that moment, she realized money could bring warm happiness to others, not just herself. She also noticed that the time and effort she put into preparing for the sale mattered more than the money itself. Later, Lily talked with her parents about this meaningful experience. Her father patted her shoulder and told her, “Money is a tool. It can be used to do good things if you have a kind heart.” Lily nodded thoughtfully. She started to think about how she could help others more often. Gradually, she developed a keen interest in ways of making money and charity work. ________________________ Task 1: Answer the questions. 1．What did Lily think money was for at first? 2．What did Lily sell in the charity sale? 3．How much money did Lily raise in the charity sale? 4．What did Lily see when she sent the money to the village school? 5．What did Lily’s father say about money? Task 2: Writing. 6．Based on Lily’s experience, write about what she will do to help others in the future. Write sentences in about 30 words. Passage 02 阅读下面短文，回答问题。 The amazing journey of money Have you ever wondered how people acquired goods before money was invented? Long ago, people used a system called “barter” to get what they needed. Barter is the direct exchange of goods for other goods. For example, a farmer with too much rice could trade with a fisherman for some fresh fish. Both parties had to have something the other wanted, which was often difficult. This is known as the “double coincidence of wants.” However, the barter system had many problems.What if the fisherman didn't need rice that day? What if the goods were not easy to divide or carry? For instance, it was impractical (不切实际的）to carry a cow to the market just to buy a few shoes. Slowly, people started to use certain items as a medium of exchange. Some cultures used rare and beautiful things like cowrie shells or salt. In China, bronze tools and weapons were also used. These items were widely accepted and could be used to “buy” various goods and services, making trade much easier. As societies advanced, people began to use precious metals like gold and silver. These metals were made into coins of standard sizes and values, which was a huge step forward. Later, even lighter and more convenient paper money appeared. Today, we are in the age of digital money, where payments can be made with a simple tap on a phone. From barter to Bitcoin, the journey of money reflects the creativity of human beings in solving problems. Task 1: 7．What was the main problem with the barter system according to the passage? 8．Why was it impractical to trade a cow for a few pairs of shoes? 9．List two items that were once used as a medium of exchange before coins. 10．What major advantage did metal coins bring to trade? 11．How does the author describe the way we pay today? Task 2: 12．Imagine if our society returned to a barter system today. Describe one major difficulty we would face. (In 30 words.) Passage 03 阅读下面短文，回答问题。 Parents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money, learning to save, and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals? “All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy (善于理财的) kid, who’ll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use, “says financial (金融的) planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan has made $7,800 by helping with his parents’ garden. Besides, he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system. And he is going to buy a car next year. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents. Learn Now, Save Later Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, another financial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.” Experts say, knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to get what they really want. That means long- term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity. Brady does remind kids. “They shouldn’t be thinking about money all the time,” he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资). That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal finance class. Talking About It Many kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parents think only about what kids shouldn’t do. They argue that kids are young and inexperienced, they may easily get in debt if they manage their own money. Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves. 13．What is the main goal of most parents when it comes to their kids and money? 14．According to financial planner Peg Eddy, what is the key to raising a money-savvy kid? 15．How did Ryan from the Tidler family earn his money? 16．What does David Brady say about young people’s responsibility for their financial future? 17．Why did Giselle Lopez get a job? 18．After finally paying off  her credit card debt, how would Giselle plan her future spending to avoid falling into debt again?

One hot day, exhausted by the heat and hard work, he fell asleep under a tree. When he woke up, he was surprised to see a beautiful snake with a colorful hood slip out of a nearby hole. He thought the snake owned the field, so he left a cup of milk at its hole as a gift. The next morning, the farmer found a shiny silver coin in the cup — worth a whole day’s wage! He was overjoyed. From then on, he left milk every evening and got a coin each morning. Soon, his barren field even sprouted green crops, and he earned a lot of money. Weeks later, the farmer planned a trip to the market. He asked his son to leave milk for the snake every evening. The son agreed but thought his father was foolish. He decided to kill the snake and take all the coins at once to get rich quickly. That night, the son hid behind a tree with a stick. When the snake came out to drink milk, he hit it hard. The injured snake bit his leg before rushing back into the hole. When the farmer returned, he apologized to the snake with fresh milk. The snake slithered out, bruised (青肿的), and said it could forgive but not forget. Then it disappeared forever. The farmer and his son finally realized that ____________________________________Task 1: Answer the questions. 19．Why did the farmer leave milk for the snake at first? 20．What did the farmer find in the cup the next morning? 21．What did the farmer ask his son to do before going to the market? 22．What did the greedy son decide to do with the snake? 23．Why did the snake stop exchanging gifts with the farmer in the end? Task 2: Writing. 24．Based on the story, write down what the farmer and his son realized. Write sentences in about 30 words. Passage 05 阅读下面短文，回答问题。 The Development of Money and Teenagers’ Money Management Money is one of the most important inventions in human history, and its development has a close connection with the progress of human society. Before money was invented, people used the barter system. They traded what they had, like rice, sheep and cloth, for what they needed. But this system had many problems: it was hard to find a proper trading partner, and heavy things were difficult to carry for long-distance trade. To solve these problems, commodity money like shells and metal coins appeared. Shells were popular because they were beautiful, hard to find and easy to carry. Later, gold and silver coins were used all over the world for their high value and durability. Over 1,000 years ago, the Chinese made a great contribution to the world’s money history—the invention of paper money. The Song dynasty issued the first official paper money called Jiaozi. It was light, easy to carry and could be made in different values, which made long-distance trade much easier. Although paper money was easy to copy at first, people soon used special paper and complex patterns to make it more secure. Paper money spread to other countries and became the main form of money for hundreds of years. In the late 20th century, electronic payment was developed with the rise of computers and the Internet. At first, people used credit cards and debit cards to pay for things. Then with the development of mobile phones, QR code payment and mobile payment apps became popular. Now, people can pay for almost everything with just a mobile phone, without carrying cash or cards. Electronic payment is fast, convenient and safe, and it has changed the way people shop and trade completely. For teenagers, learning about the development of money is not just about knowing history, but also about forming a right money view. Money is a tool for trade, and it comes from people’s hard work. This means we should not waste money, but learn to manage it well. Making a budget for pocket money, forming saving habits and taking part in charity activities are good ways for teenagers to learn money management. These things can help us become more independent and responsible, and teach us to care for others and appreciate the hard work of people around us. 25．What were the main problems of the barter system for ancient people? 26．Why were shells a popular form of commodity money in ancient times? 27．What did the ancient Chinese do to make paper money more secure? 28．How has electronic payment changed people’s daily shopping and trade? 29．What small things can teenagers do to learn good money management? 句子翻译 1．你是如何处理你的零花钱?(deal with) _________________________________________________________________________ 2．调查显示大部分学生有存钱的习惯。(show) ___________________________________________________________________________ 3．这次慈善义卖为贫困儿童筹集了很多钱。(raise) ___________________________________________________________________________ 4．他每个月都会存一些零花钱。 ______________________________________________________________________________ 5．不要浪费钱在没用的东西上。(waste) __________________________________________________________________________ 6．我们应该把钱捐给需要帮助的人。(donate) ___________________________________________________________________________ 7．我认为学会管理零花钱很重要。(manage) ___________________________________________________________________________ 8．我们希望这场慈善义卖能为有需要的人带来更多帮助。(in need) ________________________________________ 9．我们会在活动开始前两周列出义卖物品清单。(list) ______________________________________ 10．他每年向慈善机构捐款3,000英镑。 (charity) ___________________________________________________________________ 11．我们应该学会如何做决定和管理我们自己的零花钱。 (make decisions) ___________________________________________________________________ 12．我把零花钱存起来，这样我就能买一辆新的自行车了。(so that) ___________________________________________________________________ 13．如果你现在取消这个会议，就会打乱我所有的安排。 (mess up) ____________________ 14．即使我的钱不多，我仍然会尽力每周存一点。(even if) （汉译英） ___________________________________________________________________ 15．在家人的帮助下，我养成了早睡早起的习惯。(with the help of) （汉译英） ___________________________________________________________________ 话题写作 书面表达 1： How to Be a Wise Money Manager for Teenagers 写作要求：1. 不少于80词；2. 紧扣主题，说明青少年如何明智管理零花钱/金钱，可谈方法、意义；3. 适当使用连接词（firstly, besides, in a word, however等），层次清晰；4. 语法正确，单词拼写无误，适当使用从句/并列句，句式多样。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2．金钱在我们的生活中扮演着重要的角色。它帮助我们满足基本需求，但也可能带来一些问题。作为一名八年级的学生，你可能已经开始管理自己的零用钱。请以“The Power of Money”为题，写一篇文章，词数不少于60。内容要包括： (1) 拥有金钱带来的结果（积极/消极）； (2) 如何明智地使用金钱； (3) 从管理金钱中受到的启发。 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3．请你以“Save money”为题，根据以下提示，写一篇英语短文，60个词左右。 Suggestions: 1.Do you save money?

We should always be kind instead of being greedy for quick gains.

To solve these problems, commodity money like shells and metal coins appeared. Shells were popular because they were beautiful, hard to find and easy to carry. Later, gold and silver coins were used all over the world for their high value and durability. Over 1,000 years ago, the Chinese made a great contribution to the world’s money history—the invention of paper money. The Song dynasty issued the first official paper money called Jiaozi. It was light, easy to carry and could be made in different values, which made long-distance trade much easier. Although paper money was easy to copy at first, people soon used special paper and complex patterns to make it more secure. Paper money spread to other countries and became the main form of money for hundreds of years. In the late 20th century, electronic payment was developed with the rise of computers and the Internet. At first, people used credit cards and debit cards to pay for things. Then with the development of mobile phones, QR code payment and mobile payment apps became popular. Now, people can pay for almost everything with just a mobile phone, without carrying cash or cards. Electronic payment is fast, convenient and safe, and it has changed the way people shop and trade completely. For teenagers, learning about the development of money is not just about knowing history, but also about forming a right money view. Money is a tool for trade, and it comes from people’s hard work. This means we should not waste money, but learn to manage it well. Making a budget for pocket money, forming saving habits and taking part in charity activities are good ways for teenagers to learn money management. These things can help us become more independent and responsible, and teach us to care for others and appreciate the hard work of people around us. 25．What were the main problems of the barter system
