May and Ann are twins (双胞胎). They look the same, but they are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}from each other in many ways (在很多方面).

One day, May and Ann go {#blank#}2{#/blank#} together. In the first shop, they see a pretty T-shirt. It's made of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and feels very comfortable. But it costs much. Ann says she wants to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} one. But May won't. “{#blank#}5{#/blank#} doesn't grow on trees. We must {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it wisely (明智地),” she says, “300 yuan for a T-shirt? I don't think we {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a T-shirt like this. A cheap one can be nice, too.”

Ann doesn't listen to May. “We can ask our {#blank#}8{#/blank#} for the money. They want us to look {#blank#}9{#/blank#},” she says.

     “No, I don't think so,” May answers. 

     So, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} do you think is right? Would you like to buy the T-shirt if you were Ann?  

Maybe you always wonder why your pocket money disappeared so quickly. Well, this may be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}you don't have a careful plan. If you try a budget for your pocket money, you will find you can stop money {#blank#}2{#/blank#} going so fast. A budget is a plan to control where your money {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(go) . Careful budget can help you save for the things you want but can't pay for just now. Useful or not? Look at the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (follow) before you start your budget:

● Every month there are things we have to pay for, like school lunches and buses，which are{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (important).There are also things we would like to spend money on — just for fun! All these are {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (month) expenses (开销).

● Since we can't have money for everything, we have to make {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (choose). We need to ask if we really need something or just want it. Needs are what you must have in order to live, like food and water. Wants are things you would like to have or do, but not necessary. For example, CDs and cartoons.

● List what you must spend on needs — and if there is money left, you will save for things you really want. This {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (call) a budget.

● If you don't have enough money for what you need, you may have to give up one for the other. No budget is fixed. Keep an eye on  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (you). Maybe you wanted a cartoon book but now you want{#blank#}10{#/blank#} MP3 . Your needs may change into wants, or your wants may change into needs.

The French book {#blank#}1{#/blank#} be Jim's. He is the only one that is studying French.

    My name is Jerry. Barry is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} friend. We are in the same {#blank#}2{#/blank#} —Sunshine Middle School. I have a basketball, and I like to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it. I think it's easy. But Barry doesn't like basketball. He thinks it's {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Then what's Barry's favorite{#blank#}5{#/blank#}? He has a soccer ball and he plays soccer with his friends every day. So his favorite sport is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Barry's sister is Helen. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} has a ping-pong ball and two ping-pong{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. She plays ping-pong {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Sundays. She thinks it's {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. We all like sports.
