B(2025·江苏南京鼓楼区期末)
Every week, Brad's parents give him 12. It is not a gift. In fact, Brad makes that money himself. Each day, Brad takes out the rubbish, does the dishes and walks the dog.The problem is that Brad's money goes away so quickly. Brad buys hundreds of toys. When he wants to go to the movies with friends, he can never cover a ticket. The money seems to burn a hole(洞) in his pocket.One day, Brad's mum says to him, “You should make a budget.”“What's that?” asks Brad.“It's a plan for how you spend your money. You put the money into different parts for different kinds of things, like toys and snacks. You spend only as much as your budget allows(允许). In that way, you're sure to have money for different things,” says his dad.“Sounds great,” says Brad. “Will you help me make one?”Then, they put the money into different parts for snacks, toys, movies and books. There are also two special parts, one for helping others and the other for Brad's savings.From that day on, Brad always has enough money. At the end of the year, he gives away 80 to the old people's home. Helping those in need makes Brad feel good. He then uses some of his savings to buy a small robot. That makes him feel good too.
