What do you do with your pocket money? Buy toys or sports shoes? Hang out with your friends? To save it or to spend it, that is a question.

Actually, it's meaningful to save your pocket money because you never know what is going to happen tomorrow. For example, if you lose your bike, you need to buy a new one.However, without enough pocket money to spend on a new bike, you have to walk. Therefore,how can you manage your pocket money wisely?

Create a budget. List your incomes (收入) and costs, and think about how to spend the money. Then make a plan to buy some necessary things.

Open a bank account. Parents can put pocket money directly into your bank account. Abank can be magic! You put your money into it and your money will grow in a month. Why?It's because the bank pays you interest. Big banks usually have an interest rate of 0.95 percent for a year.

Try second-hand products. These products are both environmentally-friendly and cost-effective. They are cheaper than the new ones, which can help you save money. There is a highly recommended website for second-hand products.

Teenagers’ need for more independence is a natural part of growing up. However, this can be a challenge for parents. As a recent survey shows, many parents are reluctant to allow their children to do things without adults around.

The survey was carried out by the Mott Poll team at the University of Michigan. It interviewed more than 1,000 parents of children aged 13 to 18. Fewer than one in three would let their children walk alone to a coffee shop, and only one in five would allow their children to go to an amusement park by themselves.

“Those results are troubling,” says Sarah Clark, a public health expert.“Teenagers need more chances to explore the world on their own." Others are worried that teenagers are less independent than before. Unlike teenagers in the past, children today are less likely to hold part-time jobs, and walk or ride to school alone.

At the same time, mental health problems among teenagers have risen in recent years.Although it is hard to prove that one directly causes the other, experts think less independence can be bad for teenagers’ healthy development.

Therefore, the goal of parents shouldn't be to protect teenagers from all dangers. but to help them develop independence in a safe environment. For example, before allowing teenagers to go to a nearby coffee shop, parents might ask teenagers to make some plans. They can also agree on a

time to return and how to contact(联系) parents if the plans change. This way, teenagers will grow to be happier, healthier and more independent.

9. What does the underlined word“reluctant” probably mean?

A. Proud. B. Unwilling. C. Excited. D. Surprised.

10. Why are the survey results troubling according to Sarah Clark?

A. The results cannot show the true situation.

B. Teenagers are becoming too independent.

C. Parents are not protecting their children enough.

D. Teenagers don't have enough chances to be independent.

11. What does the writer suggest parents do?

A. Keep teenagers away from risks. B. Make stricter rules for teenagers.

C. Allow teenagers to do everything freely. D. Balance teenagers’ independence and safety.

12. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Teenagers' need for independence.

B. Advice on how to be a good parent.

C. The mental health problems among teenagers.

D. The importance of improving family relationships.
