How much should you save? You may be able to save 100% of your money. Does that mean you should? Not at all. The best way to develop good saving habits is to make saving a regular part of your life, along with spending.

Here is the rule you should remember: save before spending. Whenever some money gets into your hands, from a job or your pocket money or whatever, take your savings out immediately, before spending any of the money. The beauty of this system is that if you take away your savings, you are free to spend the rest.

Here are some more suggestions on how to successfully get into the saving habit from teens. Let’s see!

Tony,13: I put my money in a bank instead of my wallet, so the money is not there. And I have to take an extra step to get it.

Bill,14: When considering a major purchase(購(gòu)買), wait a week or so, at least. This will help you make sure if you still want it, and the price might go down.

Dick, 13: Carry very little money always. You can’t spend money if you don’t have it. A cake would be nice, but without a dollar, you can’t get it. Little things like that really add up quickly.

Steve,16: I used to be weak when it came to money. I bought something whenever I went into a store. I’m glad I’m not that person now. I taught myself discipline by keeping a $20 bill in my pocket while waking around the mall all day and not buying anything. Now I have no strong wish to buy things when I go into a store. It works for me.

These ideas should help you get started. If you have some questions about anything you’ve read here, or would like to share your ideas about saving money, please write to us.

1.How does Tony advise you about saving money?

A．By keeping money in a bank.

B．By putting money in a wallet.

C．By making it easy to get your money.

D．By buying little things.

2.According to Billy, if you want to buy something expensive, you’d better_________.

A．wait at least a month

B．make sure it’s necessary

C．wait until it’s for sale

D．a(chǎn)sk somebody for help

3.According to the passage, Steve is the person who _______.

A．didn’t carry any money

B．can’t wait to spend his money now

C．didn’t use to buy anything in a store

D．doesn’t spend money quickly and carelessly now

4.Where is the passage most probably from?

A．A dictionary       B．The instructions     C．A newspaper       D．An advertisement.

5.The writer wrote the passage in order to ask teens to_______.

A．make major purchases

B．save 100% of their money

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.

English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK----“As Englishman’s home is his castle”. Huge number of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford a big house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.

DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions. Many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.

Therefore , DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.

1.How do many English people spend their hoildays to the passage?

A. Making their homes beautiful.

B. Visiting their friends.

C. Travelling all over the world

D. Making a lot of money

2.Why do English people like DIY?

A. Many stores sell DIY things.

B. DIY can bring them fun.

C. TV programmes teach them to DIY

D. All DIY projects are easy.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. DIY is a waste of money.

B. it is always difficult to DIY.

C. We should be careful while doing DIY.

D. It is very safe for us to DIY.

4.In the passage, “we bite off more than we can chew” probably means      .

A. We can eat everything we like.

B. We should do something difficult.

C. We do something that is too difficult.

D. We eat too much food that is not safe.
