He was good 1 ending stories in a surprising way. Of course, “The Gift of the Magi”, is the same. The story is about Della and Jim. Jim only makes $20 a week, and their flat alone costs $8 of that. They have to lead a poor life. But each of them has 2 important thing. For Della, it is her beautiful hair. For Jim, it is his gold watch . It’s Christmas Eve.

How does he do it? Well, here comes the O·Henry surprise. Jim 8 (sell) his watch! “The Gift of the Magi” is a warm story. At last, Della and Jim have no money but they get 9 (gift) from each other. But it doesn’t seem to matter. O·Henry did not want us to make fun of them. Instead, he wrote at the end that “they are the wisest”. They have something much 10 (important) than money—they have love. Passage 2 There is a saying: “Honesty is the best policy.” Tell the truth, and good things will happen. This is just the way it is. Long ago, a 11 (home) man was walking in a busy market. On the ground in front of him , he saw a leather purse. After 12 (open) it, he found 100 gold coins inside. The man was hungry. He had no home. He even wanted to keep the purse. 13 (sudden), he heard the cry of a rich man. “I have lost my money bag,” he shouted. “I will offer a big reward to anyone who finds it 14 returns it to me.” The poor man gave the rich man back   15 (he) money. However, the rich man had other 16 (plan). He opened the bag, 17 (look) inside, and said, “There are only 100 gold coins inside. The purse I lost had 200 gold coins. You must have stolen the rest just now. You will have no reward from me.” The beggar asked that they go to a judge 18 (solve) the matter. A wise judge heard both men tell what had happened. Then he said , “ I think you are both telling the truth. Rich man, you said you had lost a purse containing 200 gold coins. 19 the beggar found a purse containing only 100 gold coins. I know that purse can’t be the one you lost, for you said it had 200 coins inside.” The judge gave the purse 20 the person who had found it, as no righteous owner had come forward to prove it was his. And that is why, in the end, honesty truly is the best policy. Passage 3 It’s always a happy moment to get some pocket money. But have you ever thought about how to spend your pocket money 21 (wise)? Now let’s check out the following tips and learn to spend our money in a 22 (good) way. Make a list. We all have a lot of things that we want. But do you really need them that much? That’s why it is important to make a list before you spend money. Start with the thing you want most. You can also write down how much it costs or how important it is in your life. By doing this, you will see if it is necessary 23 (buy) it. Help others. How about being more selfless (无私的) and 24 (use) our pocket money to help others? We all know that many people in the world are 25 need of our help. So consider using your pocket money to do something useful and helpful. You can make a 26 (different). Save as much 27 you can. As an old saying goes, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” If you spend all your pocket money all at once, you’ll have no money until your next “pay day”. Get 28 piggy bank or ask your parents to open an account for you. When you look back, you 29 (get) a strong sense of achievement by saving so much by yourself! Just remember: Every coin 30 (matter). Passage 4 Children love pocket money. Many parents give their children pocket money each week and allow them 31 (spend) it as they wish. Other parents don’t think it’s wise to do so. They think children should be taught that money doesn’t grow on trees and that 32 they need it, they have to do something to get it. So, some parents expect their children to make money by 33 (do) housework like washing the dishes or cleaning the house. And some parents even encourage their children to take on part-time jobs. Children usually spend all their money. Some parents encourage their children to save some in their own bank account. Then they can pay for their favourite things 34 (them). Pocket money actually has 35 big influence on children. It helps them to develop good spending and saving habits. It 36 (teach) them important skills and values. Children understand that money is not unlimited (无限制的), and then they will learn how to spend or save their money 37 (wise). They practise planning and making 38 (choice). They also learn more maths skills through 39 (manage) money. Pocket money helps children to become 40 (independent) as they get older. Passage 5 I still remember the day when I learned the importance of managing money. When I was ten years old, my parents gave me 20 yuan as pocket money. I was so happy and 41 (decide) to buy all my favorite snacks. But by the end of the week, I had no money left, and I felt upset. My mom noticed this and talked to me. She said, “Money is not easy 42 (earn). You need to learn how to save and spend it wisely.” She then helped me make a small 43 (budget). Every week, I could spend 10 yuan on snacks, and the other 10 yuan 44 (must) be saved. At first, it was difficult for me to stick to the budget. But after a few weeks, I got used to it. I even started to save more money. After six months, I 45 (save) over 200 yuan. I used the money to buy a new football, which I had wanted for a long time. I felt so 46 (pride) of myself. Now, I am good at 47 (manage) my money. I always make a budget before I go shopping. I also donate part of my savings to charities every year. I have learned that money can not only bring me happiness, but also help 48 (other) in need. Last week, I taught my little brother how to make a budget. He was excited to learn, and now he is saving money for a new toy car. I believe that 49 (learn) to manage money early is a very important skill 50 everyone. Passage 6 It is important for teenagers 51 (develop) a right view of money. Nowadays, most students have pocket money, but few of them know how 52 (use) it wisely. Tom is a thirteen-year-old middle school student. He learns 53 (save) money from an early age. He refuses 54 (waste) money on snacks and useless toys. Instead, he chooses 55 (spend) his pocket money on books and learning tools. His parents always encourage him 56 (keep) this good habit. Tom says making money 57 (be) never easy for parents. We should learn 58 (be) thrifty and responsible. It’s necessary 59 we make a clear spending plan every month. Small good habits will surely make a big difference 60 our personal growth. Passage 7 Fundraising has changed a lot over the years. In the past, people often raised money 61 the streets or went door to door. Today, technology has made it much 62 (easy). We can now raise money online with just a few clicks. One popular way 63 (raise) money online is through virtual events. For example, an online marathon allows people to run 64 (somewhere) they like and share their results online. People can donate money 65 the organisers’ website. The organisers then use the money to help those in 66 . This method has many advantages. First, it is 67 (convenience) for everyone. Second, it reaches a much 68 (large) number of people. Third, it is fun and 69 (encourage) people to stay active. So, if you want to make a 70 (different), why not try organising an online fundraising event? Passage 8 Every year, millions of Chinese children and teenagers receive “lucky money” during the Spring Festival. 71 you are one of them, how do you use the money? Making a plan is a wise 72 (choose). First, think about your needs and 73 (want). What do you really need to buy? What do you want to save for? Write everything 74 . Second, decide 75 to put your money. Some people like to save 76 in a bank account. Others prefer to use a piggy bank or a dream tin. You can also use part of the money 77 (help) others. Giving to charity can bring 78 (happy) to both you and those who receive it. Third, 79 your plan is ready, stick to it. Remember, a good plan 80 (help) you use your money wisely and achieve your goals. Passage 9 Many teenagers receive pocket money every month, but few know how 81 (use) it wisely. It is 82 (value) to form good money habits early. Some students use a tin as their money box and call it a dream tin. The 83 (manage) of savings needs careful plans. The more you save, the 84 (close) you are to your dream. It brings great 85 (please) when you finally make your dream come true with your 86 (save). Try not to buy too many 87 (expense) things you do not really need. You can spare some money 88 (help) people in need. Remember, it is not about how much money you have, 89 how you make good use 90 it. Passage 10 Money is something we deal with every day. But do you know how to manage 91 (it) wisely? One of the simplest ways to save is with a dream tin. Take any spare tin and turn it 92 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 93 (put) money into it. Another good method is to make a budget. A budget helps you know exactly 94 your money goes. If you don’t have a budget, it’s easy to spend more 95 you planned. Many young people find 96 hard to save money. But if you save a little every day, it 97 (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. 98 matters is what you do with your money. Learning to manage money well is a skill that 99 (serve) you for the rest of your life. Start today, and you 100 (thank) yourself in the future. Passage 11 Lin Tao, a 15-year-old high school student from Chengdu, 101 (develop) a good saving habit since he was 10 years old. When he got pocket money from his parents during Spring Festival, he never spent all of it right away. 102 , he usually puts 30 percent of every gift of money into his bank account to keep for future use. 103 most of his classmates spend all their pocket money on snacks and game cards, Lin Tao prefers 104 (save) for his long-term goal.
