Do you want to get pocket money or do you want to learn the value of money?Starting your own business is an excellent way to learn skills that will last all your life．
If you are more business minded, choose what you want to do to make money and then ask your parents for support(支持)．Here are some ways for kids to make money with their own business．
Housing Cleaning：This is a good job for older children．Practice on your own house first．Then you’ll have some experience．
Mother’s Helper：If you are too young to baby-sit(做保姆), thinking about being a mother’s helper．This means that you look after the kids while their mother gets some work done in another place．
Plant Watering：If you know of someone going on a trip soon, offer to water their plants for a little money．You should learn which plants need to be watered every day and which prefer to stay drier．
Pet sitting：Someone leaving on a trip might also need you to look after their animals．They should show you where the food is and how much to feed the pets each day．For dogs, you will need to walk them and spend some time playing with them．And don’t forget to let them out or go to the bathroom!
Toy renting：Do you have lots of old toys that you don’t need any more?Rent(出租)them out to families with children who are tired of their own toys, or to grandparents who have children visiting．

阅读理解
You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．
Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．
Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4)Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer“yes”to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit．If you move your tips，hold your fingers over them，or hold a piece of paper be-tween your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move，your will know it and can stop them．
If you point to words，hold the two sides of your book，one side with your left hand，the other side with your right hand．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head，place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的)．
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time，you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words．
Even if you do rather fast now，you can learn to read even faster．As you probably have been told，the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance．Read in through groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can to make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will he able to read faster．
