"Jamila，I just found one dollar sitting on the coffee table，"said Mrs．Johnson．"Is that your money？"
Jamila looked up from the book she was reading．"Oops，it's mine．I emptied my jacket pockets before I left for basketball practice yesterday．I was running late，so I didn't have time to take it up to my room．"Jamila placed it quickly in the back of her book and went back to reading．
"Jamila，you just put that money into the back of your book．I'm quite sure that you're not going to be able to find it when you need it．"her mother said．"You see，some of your money is in the pencil case on your desk．Some is in the glove hanging behind the door．I think you might also have a few dollars in your bag．You are such a careless girl．"
"Mom．I'm too busy to take care of my money．"
Mrs．Johnson smiled，"It looks like it's time for you to get your own bank account （账户）．"
"My own bank account？Is it necessary？Kids know little about it．"Jamila replied．
The next day，Mrs．Johnson took Jamila to a bank and opened an account for her．The banking manger explained how the money in the account would increase．"The longer the money stays in the account，the more it will earn（获利），"he added．
Jamila was surprised to learn that she could earn money just by keeping her money in a bank account．"I wish I had done this a long time ago．"

Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us. Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning (推理的) skills. Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.
For example，you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. To look for a cause, think to yourself, “What would make someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather. Maybe the person works in the penguin pen (企鹅圈养地) at Sea World. Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.
Now, think about a second example. The effect is a boy named Tony has to go to the head teacher’s office. What are the possible causes? Maybe he fought with another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize!
Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. Carol，13，was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit，but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. Little brothers can be very strange，but this was really much too strange. Carol didn’t know what to do. Just then, Carol’s father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. What’s the cause and effect, could you tell?According to the second paragraph，which of the following is an effect?
| A．Someone puts on a heavy jacket. |
| B．Someone works in the penguin pen. |
| C．Someone will go outside into cold weather. |
| D．Someone will go to visit an ice skating rink. |
Tony has to go to the head teacher’s office. Which of the following isn’t the possible cause?

What was Doug doing when his sister Carol tried to fall asleep?
| A．He was going outside. | B．He was reading a story. |
| C．He was sleepwalking. | D．He was looking for his dad. |
Which of the following is cause and effect?
| A．Tony got up and had a glass of water. |
| B．We came home and found him sleeping. |
| C．The ball was lost and a window was broken. |
