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.

W: I'm really excited {#blank#}1{#/blank#} seeing the famous paintings by Picasso.

M: Me, too! I'm glad Mr. Smith could{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the art museum for our school trip this year.

W: I still remember last school trip in October when we went hiking. It began to rain {#blank#}3{#/blank#}soon after we had started off.

M: Yeah, it was so terrible.

W: This time I'm going to bring my new {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to take lots of photos.

M: Oh, no. Mr. Smith says we must not take photos. It's not {#blank#}5{#/blank#}in the museum.

W: That's too bad! Do you think we can take photos if we don't use a flash?

M: I think they just want to protect the paintings. If you don't use a flash, then it may be OK.

W: Yeah, you are right. I'll bring my camera anyway.

    This term I join a sports club. Simon is also in that club. Mr. Green is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}teacher in the club. He is really strict with us. He makes lots of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to help us. Every student in the club must {#blank#}3{#/blank#} them. We must call him {#blank#}4{#/blank#} before playing basketball in the club. Then we must get there on time. We have to keep listening to him quietly. We have to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} sports clothes and shoes. We have to practice playing basketball for an hour every day.

    The most difficult thing for university student Shaun Rogers is opening the classroom door by {#blank#}1{#/blank#} . Shaun can't do this without help because he is only six years old. He's the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}person ever to study at Rochester University in New York. Shaun began {#blank#}3{#/blank#} at two and by the age of five he had read many books and was able to finish writing his first book. "I love learning", says Shaun." My hero is the scientist Albert Einstein. He never combed (梳理) his hair or {#blank#}4{#/blank#} socks."

    Shaun's mother first recognize that her son was different when he kept crying at playschool because he was bored with the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} games. She started teaching him at home after finding that local schools {#blank#}6{#/blank#} not prepared for children who learned at Shaun's speed. Now Shaun is studying geography at the university and using the Internet to finish his high school studies. However, some scientists {#blank#}7{#/blank#} that too much study can stop a child from developing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} . "I don't care how clever the kid is. A six-year-old boy has to play with their friends," says Dr. Brain Wood. Mrs. Rogers disagreed that all her son's time was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} up by schoolwork. "He loves playing the violin and has many{#blank#}10{#/blank#} such as camping, fishing and swimming, just like other boys of his age."
