    Do you have your own ideas about spending money? If no, now it's a great time to learn how to spend it. Follow the steps below when you are considering, buying something you want.

    Step 1  How much do you really want it?

    Seeing a $25 gum ball (口香糖球) machine, Ben wanted it at first. But after thinking about it, he decided it would be exciting only for a day or two. "... Besides, it's impossible for me to chew (嚼) much gum." he thought for a long time and then went away.[

    Step 2  Do you still want it a week later?

    If you really want the thing very much, try to wait for some time to see how strong the desire (欲望) is. This way works for grown-ups, too!

    Step 3  How will you pay for it?

    After the first two steps, Ben found he really wanted a toy pirate ship, but it cost $50. He had $22 in his pocket and got $1.50 a week from his parents. It would take Ben 19 weeks to save enough money to get the ship.

    Step 4  Are there ways to make the money?

    Ben agreed to wash the downstairs windows at $2 each. So he got $10 for himself.

    Step 5  Can you get it cheaper?

    After deciding to buy it, it's necessary for you to look for less expensive ways to buy it: search for what you want on the Internet, in shops and flea (跳蚤) markets. Sometimes you can find the same thing at much lower price.

    If these suggestions work well, they can save you a lot of money. You will be a real smart shopper.

   A. He bought it at once.      B. He gave it up right away.     C. He gave it up finally.

67. How many downstairs windows would Ben wash if he wanted to get $12?

    A. Five.                 B. Six.                      C. Ten.

                                       The First Time I Went on a Plane      
     The first time I went on a plane was when I went to Hong Kong with my dad.
     When I just saw the plane, I thought it was very big. But when there were a lot of passengers who
sat on the plane, it wasn't very big anymore. It could carry more  than 500 people. That was so amazing!
     When the plane flew up into the sky, my ears started to hurt. It hurt me so much that I wanted to cry.
I said to myself, "Don't cry. I can't cry." But I couldn't hold back my tears.  "If you chew (嚼) a piece of
gum, it will stop the harm," dad said. When I heard what my dad said, I chewed a piece of gum. But it
was no use. My ears still  hurt. Now when I think about going on a plane, I will be very scared.
     Since then, I have hated taking the plane, but I love my motherland. I'd like to go to China to look a
tour beautiful mountains and rivers. I hope that I can slowly be fit to go on a plane.
