In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect (影响) on the poor，but once a person has a rich life，a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.
If money was everything，all millionaires (百万富翁) would have true love， true friendship，good health and a long life. However，this is not always true. Many of them are not happy, and die earlier.
Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought？I’m afraid not. Love means to give，not to take. To every person，health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well，can health and a long life be bought with money？The answer is “No”.
Of all the longest living people in the world，few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word，Where money is worshiped(崇拜)，money can cause brothers to quarrel，lovers to hate，strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have，it is still not enough to make you a happy person, if you have no one to laugh with，no one to cry for.According to the passage，which of the following do you think is right？

At an early age, we start learning how to manage money by watching our parents’ spending habits. Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits.
Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money, and that it may be used up one day. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make.
We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget（预算）. In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can’t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices.
We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal will greatly satiate us.
We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account（账户）is? If not, communicate with our parents. We can also go to the supermarket with our parents to experience how money is spent in the real world.

Mike liked dinosaurs more than anything else in the world. He also believed that there was an amazing dinosaur bone under the ground of his own village. His dream was to be the first person to find it.
