短文填空
1 Do you agree that “ten times more money means ten times more problems”? Why or why not?
I agree with Money. If we have more money but don't know how to use it wisely, we may spend more and get into trouble. However, if we learn to manage our money first, having more money can actually help us achieve our dreams. So I think the problem is not money itself, but how we use it.
P22
2 Will you try dream tins for yourself? Why or why not?
Yes, I’d love to have dream tins. It reminds me to choose my most important wishes instead of buying everything I want. It teaches me to make good plans and use money in a wise way.
P22
No, I won't try dream tins. I prefer using savings apps on my phone. It's more convenient to track追踪 my money online.
1 “One of the best ways to get money is to use a dream tin,” said Money. “Take a spare tin, turn it into a moneybox and write your dream on it. Each dream needs its own tin. The tin can be any size. When the tins are ready, put all your money into them.”
2 “But wouldn’t it be better to get more pocket money?” I replied.

3 Money became more serious. “You may not believe me, Kira. But ten times more money means ten times more problems. Because the more we get, the more we spend.” This didn’t make any sense. I’d surely go where I can have ten times more pocket money. That’s my dreamland.

4 But Money went on. “Look at your parents. They have over 100 times your pocket money. But still they can’t manage. The key is not how much money we have, but how we use it. First, we need to learn how to deal with our money. Then we will be able to have more. Now let’s get back where we started — the dream tins. Why don’t you simply make a start?”
5 “But when I have so many tins, I’ll mix them up,” I replied.
not...but...不是...而是...
need to do sth. 需要做某事

be able to do sth. 能够做某事

6 “You don’t need many. Just choose the most important wishes from the list,” explained Money.
7 I took another look at my list. Right. My first wish was to go on a trip abroad. The second was to buy a laptop. The third was to help my parents make a good budget. I could make dream tins for the first two and start saving. However, the third one seemed a bit difficult.
出国旅行
开始存钱

8 “Exactly,” Money read my thoughts. “Two dream tins are enough. Can you manage that?”
9 “Okay, I’ll give it a try... No, I mean, I’ll do it,” I promised.
