How much pocket money do you get? How do you spend it? The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager Financial Study shows that social （社会的） activities now take up more of teenagers' spending. The book was about teenagers' spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spending more and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.
Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn't done anything in return, I'd have lost face,” Xia said.
Xia's experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student's pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.
Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers' financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit （R#d）. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one.

How much pocket money do you get from your parents each week? Is it growing in recent years?
If it is, then you are luckier than kids in Britain. According to reports, they are getting less and less pocket money. British researchers did a survey of 1,204 children between 8 and 15 years old. They found the average amount (平均数) of pocket money for British kids was about 5.8 pounds a week in 2010. In 2009, it was 6.2 pounds and in 2003, parents gave their children an average of 6.7 pounds a week. To the researchers’ surprise, they find that boys get more pocket money than girls. Boys get 6.9 pound every week while 6.1 is given to girls.
However, children are not too worried about it.Almost half of them believe they get the right amount. Only 42 percent say they would like to have more pocket money.

It’s always a happy moment when you get some pocket money. But have you ever thought about how to spend your pocket money wisely? Here is some advice.
Make a list.
When you get your pocket money, don’t get too excited. We all have a lot of things that we want. But do you really need them? That’s why it is necessary to make a list before you spend money. Start with the thing you want most. You can also write down how much it costs or how important it is in your life. By doing this, you will see if it is really necessary to buy it.
Help others.
How about being more selfless and using your pocket money to help others? We all know that there are many people in the world who are in need of our help. Helping others brings out the best in us and is one of the greatest joys in our lives. So consider using your pocket money to do something useful and helpful, and feel how you can make a difference.
Save as much as you can.
There is an old saying that “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” If you spend all your pocket money right away, you’ll have no money until your next “pay day”. A wallet sometimes might not be the best place to save money because it may make it easier for you to spend your money. Get a piggy bank or ask your parents to start a savings account (账户) for you. Someday when you look back, you’ll get a strong feeling of achievement by saving so much money by yourself!
1.Why should we make a list before spending money?
A. Because it can help us buy things that we want most.
B. Because it can make sure we buy everything we want.
C. Because it can help us know which thing is the most expensive.
D. Because it can help us know if we have enough money for the things.
2.What does the underlined sentence ‘Money doesn’t grow on trees.’ mean?
A. Money doesn’t come easily. B. Money is as important as trees.
C. One can make money by growing trees. D. We should use our money to protect the environment.

A. Helping others can bring us great happiness.
B. We should tell our parents before we buy something expensive.
C. Pocket money can be used to do something useful and helpful.
