Many teenagers get pocket money from their parents. But not all of them know how to 11 ______ it wisely. Some spend all their money as soon as they get it, while others save every penny. So what's the right way to handle money?
One useful method is to use a "dream tin". Take a 12 ______ tin — an old biscuit tin will do — and turn it into a piggy bank. Write your dream on the tin. It could be anything: a new bike, a trip, or a gift for someone. When the tin is 13 ______, start putting money into it. Every time you drop a coin in, you're one step closer to your dream.
Making a budget also helps. With a budget, you can see where your money 14 ______. If you don't have one, it's easy to lose track of your spending. Try to develop a saving 15 ______. Save a small amount each week — even 5 yuan adds up over time. After a few months, you'll be 16 ______ to see how much you've saved.
Of course, saving doesn't mean you can never17 ______ anything. It's okay to treat yourself once in a while. 18 ______ is the key: save some, spend some, and enjoy both.

三、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,计30分)
A
阅读五位学生的情况介绍,从A—E五条理财建议中选出匹配项,将序号填入表格。
学生情况
1. Tom is a 14-year-old boy who loves playing video games. Every time he gets pocket money, he spends it all on new games within two days. He never has any money left for things he really needs, like school supplies.
2. Lucy is a careful girl. She always saves most of her pocket money, but she never buys anything for herself. She feels guilty every time she spends money, even on necessary things.
3. David wants to buy a new bicycle. He has been saving money for three months, but he keeps taking money out of his piggy bank to buy snacks and drinks. He can't seem to make his savings grow.
4. Emma receives 100 yuan pocket money every month. She spends about 60 yuan on snacks, 30 yuan on small toys, and only 10 yuan goes into her piggy bank. She wants to save more but doesn't know where to start.
5. Jack is a kind-hearted boy. He wants to buy his mother a birthday present, but he has only saved 20 yuan. He feels that it is not enough for a nice gift and doesn't know what to do.
理财建议
A. Put your piggy bank somewhere you can't easily reach. Out of sight, out of mind — you'll be less likely to spend the money. Opening a bank account is even better!
B. A gift doesn't have to cost a lot to be meaningful. A handmade card, some home-baked cookies, or a week of helping with housework — these all come from the heart. It's the thought that really counts.
C. Try the "dream tin" method. Write your goal on a tin and put money into it every week. When you feel like spending money on snacks, ask yourself: "Is this more important than my bicycle?"
D. Make a budget first. Write down how much money you get each month and plan how to spend it. Decide how much to save before you spend anything. This will help you control your spending.
E. Don't save all your money — enjoy some too! It's fine to spend money on things you like, as long as you also save some. The key is not to go to extremes.

Where does your money go every month? If you're like most teenagers, you probably don't know exactly. But learning to manage money is an important life skill.
Take Ella and Jacky, for example. They're both teenagers, but their money habits couldn't be more different.
Jacky loves buying things — video games, snacks, trendy clothes. He spends his pocket money as soon as he gets it. Then, when he really needs something, he never has enough. "I just can't help it," Jacky says. "When I see something I like, I buy it."
Ella, on the other hand, is much more careful. She plans her spending every month, dividing her money into three parts: saving, spending, and giving. She saves 50% of her pocket money, spends 40% on things she needs, and gives 10% to charity. "It feels good to help others," Ella says. "And I never worry about running out of money."
Ella's parents encouraged her to open a savings account at a bank. "When you put money in the bank, it can grow," her mother told her. "The bank pays you interest for keeping your money there." Ella opened an account and now watches her money grow.
Jacky has decided to learn from Ella. He's started making a budget and putting aside some money each week. "It's not easy," he admits, "but I'm getting better at it."
26. What is Jacky's problem with money?
A. He doesn't get enough pocket money.
B. He spends everything as soon as he gets it.
C. He never buys anything for himself.
D. He doesn't know how to open a bank account.
27. How does Ella divide her pocket money?
A. All for saving.
B. All for spending.
C. Into three parts: saving, spending, and giving.
D. Into two parts: spending and giving.
28. What did Ella's parents encourage her to do?
A. Open a savings account.
B. Spend less on snacks.
C. Give money to charity.
D. Learn from Jacky.
29. The underlined word "interest" in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A. 兴趣 B. 趣味 C. 关注 D. 利息
30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Jacky will never change his habits.
B. Jacky has started to manage his money better.
C. Ella has stopped saving money.
D. Jacky now spends more than before.
C
Money is part of everyday life. We use it to buy food, clothes, and all kinds of things. But have you ever stopped to think about what money really means?
For some people, money seems to be everything. They work hard to earn more and more, yet they never feel satisfied. They forget that there are things money can't buy — like true friendship, good health, and the love of family.
For others, money is simply a tool. They use it to get what they need and, when they can, to help others. They understand that money can make life easier, but it can't create happiness on its own. For them, money serves a purpose — it doesn't rule their lives.
There's an old saying: "Money spent comes back; money saved stays." The point is that money flows through our lives, but the important things — the people we love and the values we hold — remain constant.
So how do we develop a healthy attitude towards money? Here are three ideas.
First, save something every month, even if it's a small amount. It builds up over time and gives you a safety net.
Second, think before you buy. Ask yourself: "Do I really need this?" You'll be surprised how often the answer is no.
Third, give when you can. Sharing with others often brings more happiness than spending on yourself.
Money isn't the most important thing in life. What truly matters is how you use it — to live well, to help others, and to make a difference.
31. According to the passage, what do some people forget about money?
A. Money can buy everything.
B. There are things more important than money.
C. Money is the key to happiness.
D. Only rich people can be happy.
32. What does the saying "Money spent comes back; money saved stays" suggest?
A. Money is more important than anything.
B. You should never spend your money.
C. Saving money is a waste of time.
D. Money flows through life, but important things remain.
33. What does the author suggest as the third way to develop a healthy attitude towards money?
A. Give to others when you can.
B. Think before you buy something.
C. Save some money every month.
D. Earn as much money as possible.
34. What is the author's attitude towards money?
A. Money is the most important thing.
B. Money should never be spent on yourself.
C. Money is a useful tool, not the goal of life.
D. Only poor people understand the value of money.
35. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To tell people how to get rich quickly.
B. To discuss what money really means and how to use it wisely.
C. To compare the lives of rich and poor people.
D. To share a story about a generous person.
四、语法填空(共10小题,每小题1.5分,计15分)
阅读短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词,或用括号内所给单词的正确形式填空。
Money is something we deal with every day. But do you know how to manage 36 ______ (it) wisely?
One of the simplest ways to save is with a dream tin. Take any spare tin and turn it 37 ______ a piggy bank. Write your dream on the tin — a new bike, a trip, or a gift for someone. When the tin is ready, start 38 ______ (put) money into it.
Another good method is to make a budget. A budget helps you know exactly 39 ______ your money goes. If you don't have a budget, it's easy to spend more 40 ______you planned.
Many young people find 41 ______ hard to save money. But if you save a little every day, it 42 ______ (become) easier over time. Even 5 yuan a day adds up to over 1,800 yuan in a year!
Remember, it's not the amount that matters. 43 ______ matters is what you do with your money. Learning to manage money well is a skill that 44 ______ (serve) you for the rest of your life. Start today, and you 45 ______(thank) yourself in the future.

A Dog Called Money(Adapted from Money or The Money Dog)
In the story A Dog Called Money, a young girl named Kira meets a talking dog. The dog's name is Money, and he teaches her some valuable lessons about managing money.
Money tells Kira about "dream tins". "Take a spare tin — an old biscuit tin will do — and turn it into a piggy bank. Write your dream on the tin. You'll need one tin for each of your dreams. Once the tin is ready, put your money into it," he explains.
Money also stresses the importance of saving every day, even in small amounts. "A little bit each day adds up over time," he says.
Another key lesson is to plan before you spend. Money advises Kira to ask herself one question before buying anything: "Do I really need this?" This simple question helps her avoid wasting money on things she doesn't truly need.
By the end of the story, Kira has learned a lot. She understands that money is not the most important thing in life. Love, friendship, and dreams matter more. Money is just a tool to help achieve those dreams.
46. What is the name of the talking dog? ________________________
47. What does Money suggest using to save money for dreams? ________________________
48. How many tins does Kira need for her dreams? ________________________

参考范文
My Money Story
Money is part of our daily life. Looking back, I have changed a lot in the way I manage my money.
In the past, I had no plan for my pocket money. I always spent it on snacks and small toys without thinking. As a result, I often had no money left for my daily needs.
Now I have changed my ways. First, I make a monthly budget to manage my money well. Second, I keep a dream tin to save money for my goals instead of wasting it casually.
From this experience, I learn that managing money well is very important. It helps me develop self-discipline and cherish every penny. This good habit makes my life more organized.
