Are you good with money? Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to make money? Read on to find out about British teenagers and their money! Pocket money Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. They might have to do some housework to get pocket money, including cleaning, cooking, washing dishes and so on. Part-time work A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don’t have pocket money or who want to get extra money. About 15% teenagers have a job. Only children over the age of 13 can work. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering（递送）newspapers, restaurant work and shop work. Children in Britain can work two hours a day at the most on a school day but not during school hours. During weekends and school holidays, they can work longer hours. Bank accounts（账户） Some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no age limit at which you can open a bank account, but a bank manager can decide whether to open an account for a child or a young person. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child’s bank account. Most banks have a prepaid bank card designed for young people. Mobile apps Many companies have made mobile apps for children, including GoHenry, Osper and Gimi. Parents can add money to their children’s accounts and check to see how the money is spent. Children can choose to save their money or spend it using a card. The apps suggest that kids from 8 to 13 can use the cards.

We always think that it’s OK for us to leave our plants home during our vacation as plants won’t scream like pets, right? A recent study done by a group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University has discovered that some plants will scream when they are under stress. The research was carried out on tomato plants and tobacco plants by cutting their stems（茎） and depriving（剥夺） them of water. A microphone was placed 10cm away from them. When their stems were cut, the plants started “screaming” between 20 and 100 kilohertz, and the scientists guess that this scream is probably meant to warn other plants nearby. When the tomato plants’ stems were cut, 25 ultrasonic（超声的） pain sounds were recorded in an hour, and at the same time, 15 ultrasonic pain sounds were recorded from the tobacco plants. When they were deprived of water, the tomato plants recorded even more pain sounds with 35 pain sounds in an hour while the tobacco plants recorded about 11 pain sounds. The plants also acted differently to different kinds of stresses. For example, the tobacco plants gave out a stronger “scream” when they were deprived of water than when their stems were cut. But plants that were in no immediate（立刻的）danger gave out less than one ultrasonic sound per hour. The group of scientists said that plants are not as quiet as we had always thought, but in fact their voices are so high-pitched that we just can’t hear them. Last year, another study has found out that plants feel pain when they are touched or hurt and they will give off a terrible smell.
1.What have the group of scientists at the Tel Aviv University discovered? A.Some plants under stress will scream. B.Plants in danger scream to warn others. C.Some plants under stress feel energetic. D.Plants in danger give off a sweet smell. 2.What was the microphone underlined in paragraph 3 used for? A.Cutting the stems of plants. B.Depriving plants of water. C.Collecting ultrasonic sounds. D.Testing different stresses. 3.How many ultrasonic pain sounds did the tobacco plants give out in an hour when deprived of water？ A.11. B.15. C.25. D.35. 4.What can we learn from the passage? A.Tomato plants acted the same under different stresses. B.Tobacco plants gave off a smell when they were safe. C.Plants not in immediate danger screamed most weakly. D.Plants that felt pain screamed loudly for people to hear.

A horse fair is an interesting place. There were young horses from the country, little Welsh ponies and many beautiful horses too. But there were also a lot of poor, thin horses, tired from hard work. I was very sad to see them. At the horse fair there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes. He offered 23 pounds for me, but they refused. Then a man with a very loud voice came. I was afraid he was going to buy me, but he walked off. Then the grey-eyed man came back again and said: “I’ll give 24 for him.” “Done,” said the salesman. “He’s a quality horse and if you want him for cab（出租马车）work, he’s a bargain.” Half an hour later we set off for London, along country roads, until we came to that great city. There were streets to the right, and streets to the left. We went into one of the small streets, and then into a very narrow street, with small, old houses. My owner stopped at a house. The door opened, and a woman, a little girl and boy, came out. “Is he gentle, father?” “Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a kitten; you can pat him.” Dolly, the little girl, patted my shoulder without fear. It felt so good! They led me into a comfortable, clean stable, and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep, thinking “I’m going to very happy here”. My new owner’s name was Jerry. His wife was called Polly and they had two children, Harry and Dolly. The next morning they came to see me. I loved it when they patted me and spoke in gentle voices. “Let’s call him ‘Jack’, after the old horse, shall we, Harry?” said Dolly. “Yes, let’s,” said Harry. The first week of my life as Jack, the London cab horse was very hard. The noise and the people and the traffic on the streets scared me. But Jerry was a very good driver, and that helped a lot Jerry soon found that I was ready to work hard and do my best, and he didn’t whip（鞭打）me. He kept us very clean, and gave us as much food as we wanted. But the best thing was that we had Sundays off.

Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” These are certainly words that millions of volunteers around the world could agree with. In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, to praise and thank volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to what they care about. 1. People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment of animals. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, try out new skills and explore career choices. 2. Take Andrew Makhoul, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, as an example. Andrew didn’t spend his last spring break relaxing. Instead, the 19-year-old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself. He travelled to an orphanage(孤儿院) in Guatemala in Central America. 3. And it depends on volunteers to stay open. Andrew doesn’t speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn’t a problem, “You communicated with love,” according to an article on his university’s website. And what he gave out, he got back, “4.” Andrew’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he’d be back soon — because he saw love and hope. US author Sherry Anderson once wrote, “5.” And this is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do — their work is “priceless”. A.It is in one of the poorest parts of the country. B.You could see love when you looked in their eyes. C.Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid. D.It’s a chance for poor children to get better care and support. E.Life will be difficult, but I have the confidence to live a happy, full life. F.For young adults, valuable lessons may also be learned through volunteering. G.Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.
