My parents give me an allowance every week．An allowance is the money I earn（赚的）when I do chores or jobs around the house．There are a loft of things I want to buy with my allowance，but I have to earn it first!There are many ways to earn money．I do chores，make my bed and empty the dishwasher．I also help my parents whenever they ask．
My parents let me choose how to spend my allowance，but they say I shouldn't use it up at once．That's why they taught me about budgets（预算）．A budget helps people buy things now and also save for things in the future．My mom says there are three ways to use my allowance．I can spend it．save it．or give it away．I want to do all three，so my mom and I make three jars．One is a"spend"jar，one is a"save"jar，and one is a"give"jar．
Spend Jar
The spend jar is my favorite!I put most of my allowance here．At the end of the month，I count up all my spending money．I use it to buy things with my friends．
Save Jar
Sometimes，there are things I want，but I don't have enough money．That's what the save jar is for．I put some of my allowance in it．It builds up more and more each week．After a while．I have enough money to buy what I want．
Give Jar
The last jar is very special．It's the give jar．I donate （捐赠） the money to charity （慈善） or another good cause My dad says that donating money helps other people and makes our world a better place．
I like putting my allowance into my three jars．It's fun to see it build up over time!Do you earn an allowance？

A “Gap Year” is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university. It is often spent travelling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills.
Gap years are popular with European and Australian students， but remain less popular in America. However， in recent years， more and more American students are preparing for college by taking a gap year. The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows：
Learn about the World and Yourself
Although you don’t have to go abroad to experience gap years， most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons. You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.
Face Challenges and Have Fun
A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation， but also a time to face challenges. Gap year students usually work， volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process isn’t always easy， but it is an important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.
Save Money and Improve Your College Admission Chances
There’s a common thought that gap years are only for rich students， but it’ s not true. Actually， taking a gap year can save your money. Gap year students often take a part-time job. Besides， at the end of a gap year， students are much more likely to know what to study in college. Clear learning goals ran keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing.
Imagine an admission officer trying to admit (录取) only one between two students. Both of them are excellent and have high grades. However， one student has much practical experience or has volunteered in his vacation. Who do you think the admission officer will choose?What does a “Gap Year” mean in the passage ?
