Pocket Money Tips for Teens

Running to Raise Money
Last month, our school held an online marathon called "Run for Love". The goal was to raise money for the local children's hospital.
Students could run anywhere — in the park, on the playground, or even at home on a treadmill. They used a sports app to record their running. For every kilometre they ran, their family or friends would donate 5 yuan.
Li Wei, a student from Class 3, ran 20 kilometres in total. He said, "I didn't raise the most money, but I felt proud. I helped others by doing what I love." In the end, the event raised over 10,000 yuan.
The activity not only helped children in need but also taught students the joy of giving. Many students said they would take part in such activities again.

Is Money Everything?
People often say "Money makes the world go round." It is true that money plays an important role in our lives. We need money for food, clothes, education, and many other things. However, is money everything?
A recent study shows that too much focus on money can make people unhappy. Those who only care about becoming rich often feel stressed and lonely. They may have nice cars and big houses, but they don't have time for family or friends.
On the other hand, some people don't earn much, but they live happy lives. They spend time with people they love, help others, and enjoy simple pleasures. As the saying goes, "The best things in life are free."
This doesn't mean we should not care about money. It means we should use it wisely. Money is a tool, not a goal. It can buy a house, but not a home. It can buy a clock, but not time. It can buy a book, but not knowledge.
So, work hard to earn money, but never let it control your life. Remember: health, love, and time are worth much more than gold.
1. What does the recent study show?
A. Rich people are always happy.
B. Money is the most important thing.
C. Focusing too much on money may cause unhappiness.
D. Poor people are always lonely.
2. What does the writer think of people who don't earn much but live happily?
A. They are foolish. B. They understand the true value of life.
C. They don't need money at all. D. They should work harder.
3. What does the underlined sentence "The best things in life are free" mean?
A. We don't need to pay for good things.
B. The most valuable things cannot be bought with money.
C. Free things are always the best.
D. We should not spend money.
4. What is the writer's advice on money?
A. We should save all our money.
B. We should not try to earn money.
C. We should use money wisely and not let it control us.
D. We should give away all our money.

六、书面表达(参考范文)
Dear Mary,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble managing your pocket money. Don't worry. Many teenagers have the same problem. Here are some ideas that may help you.
First, try using a dream tin. Write down what you really want on the tin, and put some money into it every time you receive your pocket money. This helps you save for important things instead of spending on unnecessary snacks.
Second, keep a record of your spending. When you see where your money goes, you will find it easier to cut down useless costs.
I believe you will learn to manage your money wisely and make ends meet soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
