Learning to save money when you're young is an important lesson. All good lessons and habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people—adults included—do not have a good sense of saving for the long run. 　　

I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90. 　　

Making sure you save and don't spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving. 　　

At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a lob, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it. 　　

After high school, college is expensive and then "real" life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier.________________, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle. The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to create a nest egg.

Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving. 　　

Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure life. 　　

Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.

In addition to this, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.

In so many ways, cyberspace (网络空间) mirrors the real world. People 36 information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.

Some Internet users want 37 just someone to chat with. They’re looking for 38 love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That 39 depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually 40 . Others fail miserably.

Unlike the real world, 41 , your knowledge about a person is 42 to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts or at least the thoughts they 43 are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.

Usually, this “ 44 ” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really 45 when you’re in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. 46 else can so many people come together to chat?

　　　 47 of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.

But critics of online relationships 48 that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully chosse their words to 49 whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “nonverbal (不用语言表达的)” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves. All of this may be fine 50 the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not 51 a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many 52 . it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This surely 53 disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.

So, 54 looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll, “Life in the 55 world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”
