James shook his money box again.

Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52 (about 153 yuan). The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! How on earth (究竟) was he going to get the rest of the money?

He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out with people when you were the only one without a bicycle. He thought about what he could do. There was no point asking his parents, for he knew they had no extra money.

There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn (挣) it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice.

“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”

That was the beginning of James’ part-time job.

For the next three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks, cleaned out cupboards and repaired books.

The day finally came when James counted his money and found $ 94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard working for the money, but James knew that he valued (珍惜) his bicycle far more because he had bought it with his own money. He had achieved what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

【小题1】Why didn’t James ask his parents for help?

From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and weekends they are free and  31 themselves. Some watch television or go to the cinema, others take part in sports. This is decided by their own   32  .

There are many different ways to spend our free time.

Almost everyone has some kind of   33  : it may be something from collecting stamps to ____34___ model planes. Some hobbies are very   35 , but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth(值得…的)  36 of money, others are valuable(有价值的) only to their owners.

I know a man who has a coin collection worth several   37  dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare(罕见的)fifty-cent piece which   38  him $250! He was very happy about this collection and thought the price was all right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder(怀疑) if they are worth any money. However,  39  my brother they are quite valuable.

 40  makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.
