Every week, Brad’s parents gave him some pocket money. They didn’t give him the money as a gift, though. Brad actually earned it. Each day, Brad
took out the trash and cleared the table after dinner. He fed the family dog
and took him for walks. For all of this work, Brad earned $12 each week.
The problem was, the money Brad earned seemed to be spent out just as
quickly as he earned it. His dad said that money seemed to “burn a hole in
his pocket”. Brad spent his money on video games more than anything else.
He never seemed to have enough money, though.
Dad suggested Brad creating a budget（预算）to set aside money each week for certain expenses. “You spend only as much as your budget allows.
That way, you are sure to have money for the differe nt things you want.”
That night, the family made a list of the different types of things Brad wanted to be able to buy. The list included categories such as snacks,
entertainment, and clothing. And a budget should also set aside a percentage of earnings as savings so that he would be able to buy something expensive in the future. “It can also be your rainy day fund,” said his mom. Brad gave her a puzzled look. “A rainy day fund is there to help out in an emergency,” she explained. They also said it was impo rtant to set aside a little money to help others.
From that day on, Brad always seemed to have enough money to do the things he wanted. The first year, he set aside $104, he chose to give the money to the town’s animal shelter. Giving money to help those in need made Brad feel good. He also used some of his savings to buy a cool new video game console. That made him feel good, too.

A. By doing some housework.
B. By playing difficult games.

Tea, coffee and cocoa are three major drinks all over the world. 39 Tea has a history of over 4,000 years and China is the home of tea. In ancient China, tea was used as a kind of medicine, while nowadays people drink it every day.
The word for te a in many different languages came from Chinese like “tea” in English; “cha’i”
in Russian. 40
Over the past centuries, Chinese people have developed their special tea culture, which includes tea planting, tea making, tea drinking and so on.
41 When we use the words “kung fu”, we are not taking about fighting. Instead, “kung fu” means “work” or “skill”. Kung fu tea takes work and skill to make. It is not as simple as just putting tea in a teapot with some hot water.
First, we put hot water into the teapot. Then we empty the teapot. 42 Next, we put tea leaves into the teapot and put hot water into the teapot again. Then we pour the hot water into the tea cups. 43 Finally, we put hot water into the teapot a third time, and wait. At the same time, the hot water is emptied from the tea cups. Then we pour the tea into them.
Everyone then picks up their tea cups, and enjoys the lovely smell of the tea before drinking it.
A.Today, we are going to make Chinese kung fu tea.
B.This washes the tea leaves, and warms the tea cups.
C.And the Japanese word for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese.
D.However, tea is drunk by the largest number of people in the world.
E.This is important, for we want to warm the teapot before we make our tea.
