3 . Money makes the world go around, yet the best things in life are free. A penny saved is a penny earned, but you get what you pay for. You probably have your own ideas about spending money. Now is a great time to learn how to spend money wisely.
When you are considering buying something you want, run through this checklist first.
How much do you really want it?
Seeing a $25 gum ball (口香糖球) machine, Ben wanted it. But after thinking about it, he decided that it would be exciting only for a day or two. “Besides, it’s not possible for me to chew that much gum,” he said wisely.
Do you still want it a week later?
If the thing passes the “really wanting-it” test, try to wait for some time to see how strong the desire (欲望) is. This strategy works for grown-ups, too!
How will you pay for it?
After the first two steps, Ben found he really wanted a toy pirate ship (海盗船), but it cost $50. He had $22 in his pocket and gets $1.50 a week to spend. His mother helped him work out how many weeks he would need to save to get the ship: 19.
Are there ways to earn the money?
Ben agreed to wash the downstairs windows at a dollar each. So he got $10 for himself and sparkling (闪亮的) sunlight for the rest of the family.
Can you get it cheaper?
After deciding to buy it, it is necessary for you to look for less expensive ways to buy it: search for what you want on the internet or in shops and flea markets (跳蚤市场). Sometimes you can find the same thing at a much lower price. If these suggestions work well, they can save you a lot of money. You will be a really smart shopper.

7 . When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small roots (根) from school to plant. None of them looked very strong, but with hope for the future, I planted them in our garden with enough sunlight. Over the years, because of the poor soil (土壤), three of them died. Only one survived (存活).
It grew crooked (弯弯曲曲的) and very slowly. It looked more like a fat bush（灌木从) than a tree. Later, I noticed that it was starting to die. The lower branches (树枝) were becoming bare (光秃秃的). Only the top third of the tree was still green. I did my best to save it. I fed it a lot of fertilizer (肥料), but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I thought maybe I should just cut it down. It would make the garden look cleaner. As I take a closer look at it, however, I saw something in the leaves. A bird built a nest (巢) in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it gave a bird a home.
This tree told me all of our lives have a purpose (目的). Young and strong or old and sick, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share. We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.
