My dream is to be the first woman president (总统) of the United States when I grow up. Why? I want to show that girls can be just as important as boys. I want to be and do what boys are and do. My brother has the same goal (目标). He will be president right after me. One important characteristic it takes to be president is self-discipline (自我约束). Why is self-discipline important? What happens if your parents don't care about your grades? Do you work less hard or push yourself to do more? During my nine years in school I have never been told that 100% is good enough. 100% is good; 110% is better. Better still is 120%. I have got straight A's since I moved to Bedford. The good grades are a reward for my work. My parents are just there to encourage me but it is I who do the real work. Another important characteristic is flexibility (随机应变). I have two sides. One side is gentle and the other is tough (坚强的). These two sides are equally important to me. I have to know when to be hard and gentle at the right time. When a kid does something wrong, you need to be gentle but also harsh (苛刻的) to send the right message. You have to be tough when you are dealing with a bully (欺凌弱小者). I'm the only girl in Kung Fu class but the boys respect (尊重) me because they know I am as tough as any boy. These characteristics will lead me to my goal. I will never give up or do anyone wrong. I will be president when I grow up. 【1】What do the writer and her brother want to be after they grow up ? A. Teachers. B. Writers. C. President. D. Parents. 【2】What the writer has been told to do is best ? A. 100%. B. 110%. C. 90%. D. 120%. 【3】Who does the real work at school ? A. The writer herself. B. Her parents. C. Her brother. D. None of them. 【4】What are the two sides of the writer ? A. Flexible and gentle. B. Gentle and tough. C. Gentle and harsh. D. Tough and harsh. 【5】Why do the boys in Kung Fu class respect the writer ? A. Because they know she is as tough as they. B. Because they know she isn't so tough as they. C. Because they know she is as gentle as they. D. Because they know she is gentler than they.

Do you have pocket money? Students all around the world think it great to have some money in their pocket. But how much do they get? American kids and pocket money Most American children think having pocket money will help them to understand money better. Here’s what some of them say: Jacob---- I have to do 10 times of the housework a week to get pocket money. Katty---- I get $20 twice a month. I put $5 in the bank and spend $15 on new stuff Nathan, Sam---- We save half of our pocket money every week. Amy---- I get $10 a week for doing the housework. I don’t get money if I don’t do that. Amber---- I don’t save too much. I spend a lot when I go shopping. Sam, Tess----We put our pocket money in the bank, and spend our birthday and Christmas money. British children and pocket money In London, children get 10 pounds every week, children in Scotland (苏格兰) get 8 pounds, and children in Wales (威尔士) get the most, about 13.5 pounds! Also, British boys get a little more pocket money than girls. Like kids in the US, British children do the housework to earn their pocket money. That’s why British children know a lot about spending money. 7% of them spend less than ￡1 each week, 22% spend between ￡1 and ￡5, and 20% spend over ￡5 each week. What do they buy with their money? Most of them spend it on sweets, crisps (薯片) and chocolate. Is it good to have pocket money? Some parents may ask the question, the answer is: Of course yes! If children have some pocket money, they can learn to find out what things cost, save money for things that they want. There are lots of good lessons to learn: If you spend it all at once, there is no money until your next “pay day” (发薪日). If you bought the wrong thing, you’ll be more sensible (明智的) next time. If you borrow money, you have to pay it back. 【1】What do most of American children think of having pocket money?
