阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。

    My best friend and I are in the same school. Her name is Alice. We first met each other two years ago. We were all new in the school then. She is beautiful. She has long black hair, round black eyes and a small nose. She doesn't like to dress up, so I usually see her wearing jeans and a T-shirt or sweater.

    Alice and I are always talking or laughing about something. She has a wonderful sense of humor (幽默感). When I am not happy, I like talking to her. And she always tries her best to make me happy.

    We have the same interests. We both enjoy playing the guitar and singing. We like going to the movies. Sometimes in summer, I go with her and her family to their summer house by the lake. We usually spend most of the afternoon swimming. In the evenings we walk into town or stay at home and watch TV. It's always fun to be with her.

    Though our lives get busy, we still have time to see each other. I am better in math and science and she is better in English, so we often help each other with our homework.

    I am lucky to have a friend like her.

(1)、When did Alice and the writer meet each other?
(2)、What does the writer like doing when she is not happy?
(3)、Do Alice and the writer have the same interests?

    In 2009 a group of parents in Lymington started sharing worries about their children's money-management skills. Pocket money was now stored in a building society rather than a piggy bank (储蓄罐); household shopping was done online; the children rarely saw their parents handling cash. They were spending online, too. Money had become intangible. How, then, were children to learn its value?

The answer they came up with was GoHenry, an app now available in America as well as Britain. It is designed to help young people learn good spending habits through real-world money activities. Parents sign up with their own bank accounts and pay a monthly fee of £2.99 or $3.99 for each child aged six or over. Adults and children download separate versions. Parents can schedule pocket money and set chores. When those are marked as done, the child is paid the agreed amount. Parents can see what the child has bought and where. And they can choose where the card can be used: in shops, online or at ATMs.

Children get cards printed with their name. They can put money in savings pots, view their spending and balances, and set savings targets. "They could decide to save ten dollars for a friend's birthday in four weeks' time, or set a goal at 12 to have $2,000 to buy a car at age 18," says Dean Brauer, one of GoHenry's founders. "The app tells them how much to save each week to meet their goal."

A big benefit of such apps is that they inspire family conversations about money. According to the latest research, more than half of British parents find the subject hard to discuss with their children. And yet most agree that children's attitudes to money are formed in their early years.

Some GoHenry customers are wealthy parents who worry that their children will grow up with little knowledge of money. Others have slim incomes but regard the app as a preparation for their child's future. Some say that they have been in debt and want their children to avoid that mistake when they grow up; others that the app is cost-effective because their children learn to plan spending. Even though young people no longer touch and hold money, they can still be taught to handle it well.

My brother Cody and I were in the back seat playing the guessing game I See when the snowstorm started.

"I see something green," Cody said. "The green highway sign?" I guessed, although it was hard to read it. I looked around. "The green hat on the girl in the car behind us?"

"Yes!" Cody laughed. "Your turn."

Dad spoke to Mom. "I don't like the looks of this. It's getting harder to see anything."

Suddenly, Dad stopped the car. We found the car nearly hit the tree on the roadside. Nobody talked. Cody and I stopped playing I See. It was like we were all helping Dad by holding our breath.

"We need to get off and wait out this storm," Dad said. "But I can hardly see the road, not to mention an exit (出口)."

Just then, I saw a red, blinking light high in the sky. "I see something red!" I shouted.

"Not now, Kenny," Dad scolded.

"I hey were red words," I continued.

"Let's forget about the games," Mom said.

But I had seen it. "It was like one of those really tall signs that flash GAS or FOOD like we've seen near exits."

"You're right. There's an exit!" Mom cried, pointing ahead. Dad carefully drove the car toward it. Finally we could see the red sign clearly enough: EAT HERE. Dad let out a big breath. We slipped and slid our way into the parking lot. Then we got off and moved into the small restaurant. A moment later, another family came in behind us. I saw the girl with the green hat.

"We followed your car's taillights here," her mom told us. "We would never have found this place without you."

"We wouldn't have found it either," Dad said, winking at me, "if we weren't riding with someone who's very good at I See."
