school. Parents think all the kids look the same, but kids know the differences.
The "rich" kids wear amazing watches, ride good 19__and use
cool pencil cases. They show off their expensive things to 20__ kids.
Then everyone else wants them too. For example, some "rich" kids use
a pencil box that _21_1,000 yuan! It not only holds pencils, but also
has a thermometer (温度计), a compass (指南针), a music box and even
games in it! But think about it. Do you really need ____22___ a special pencil

As for these "rich" kids, they are
