Question

【题目】 How much pocket money do you get? How do you spend it? The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager Financial Study shows that social （社会的） activities now take up more of teenagers' spending. The book was about teenagers' spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spending more and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.

Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn't done anything in return, I'd have lost face,” Xia said.

Xia's experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student's pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.

Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers' financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit （R#d）. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one.
