Brother Bear and Sister Bear know quite a lot about Bear Country. They know where the best honey trees are. They know the best places to see a rainbow (彩虹). But they don’t know much about money. When they get some money, they run quickly to the Bear Country Mall and spend it. Sometimes, Sister puts her money in her piggy bank. But she usually spends it just a moment later. Brother doesn’t even have a piggy bank!
One day, Brother and Sister go to the mall. They see a new video game. It looks exciting. They run home to ask Papa to buy it. Papa gets angry. He shouts, “Video game! At the mall! You must think money grows on trees!” “You must make your money! Life is about working, making money and saving (存钱) for a rainy day!” Now Brother and Sister know how serious (严重的) it is. They begin to think about making money.
In fact, Brother and Sister are very good at making money. They sell flowers by the side of the road. They sell strawberries door to door. They take visitors to see the most beautiful rainbow. They take care of pets for neighbours. Sister’s piggy bank is full. Brother has to borrow Mama’s sugar bowl to keep all his money.
“I think that’s enough. Look at them!” says Papa. “Yes. In the past, they didn’t care about money. But now they care too much about it,” says Mama. “Come here, children.” says Papa. “Are you going to spend all your money?” “Yes!” Brother and Sister say together. “That’s not good,” says Mama. “You should spend only some of the money on useful things. And put some money there for a rainy day.”
Brother and Sister ask, “Where do we put our money?” “I think the Bear Country Bank is a good place, says Mama. “Good,” says Papa. “The money can be your nest egg (存款).” That day the Bear family goes to the bank and opens an account (帐户) for Brother and Sister.
1.Why don’t Brother and Sister have any money to buy the video game?
A. Because Brother doesn’t have a piggy bank.
B. Because they don’t know much about money.
C. Because their parents don’t give them money.
D. Because they spend the money when they have some.
2.What does the underlined phrase “for a rainy day” mean in Chinese?
A. 因为下雨天 B. 在下雨天 C. 一切正常 D. 未雨绸缪
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Brother and Sister know how to make money well.
B. Sister has to borrow Mama’s sugar bowl to keep her money.
C. Their parents ask Brother and Sister to save all the money they make.
D. Brother and Sister care too much about money, so they spend the money.

Several months ago, my husband and I were on an island for a long weekend with our five-year-old twin daughters. As we went back and talked about what to do next, our girls jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly museum,” said Emily and Hanna.
As soon as we walked into the main area of the museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flapped (拍打) their colourful wings.
My girls were jumping up and down, and I knew it was right for us to take them to the museum. They were having so much fun.
I turned to our museum tour guide because I was curious (好奇的) and asked, “How long do butterflies live?”
She said, “About ten days.”
“What can butterflies do in ten days?” I asked.
The guide stopped, looked at me, and said, “They make the world a more beautiful place.”
“Wow,” I said, “I never thought about butterflies like that. Thank you.”
After we said goodbye, I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to give the world with the time we have. When we put our gifts on taking care of each other every day, we can make a difference.
