Liu Sanzi is an eight﹣year﹣old boy from a village in Hunan Province．He has to give up going to school．It's important for him to work on their farm because there are seven people in Liu's family and they are very poor．
Li Yinming is 14 and from Gansu Province．He stopped going to school a few years ago．His parents have been ill and he has to look after them．
Many children like Li Yinming and Liu Sanzi can't get an education because their families are poor．Now they can go to school with the help of Project Hope．In the last 15 years，this project has raised money and paid for the education of 2.5 million poor students in the countryside．People in China and abroad have given 2.2 billion yuan．With this money，Project Hope has built many schools and libraries．It has also trained teachers and has sent students go high schools．
Last year Shen，a boy from Shanxi Province，went to a school with no electricity and only a few books．But this year he's at a new school with big classrooms and lots of books．Project Hope paid for it．
Most people in China have heard of Project Hope and have given money．But 40 million children from poor families still need help．Because of Project Hope，thousands of children have better lives．Perhaps we should all ask：What can we do for Project Hope？How can we help？
56．Did Liu Sanzi finish studying before he got help from Project Hope？

Life offers so many lessons， both practical and personal， that you're never too young to begin learning them． Here are some skills to learn as soon as possible．
Money Management 
When you start receiving money of your own． It's time to start understanding your relationship with money． In a world where you can buy any and every object， the key is to save money by buying only essentials （必需品） and a treat sometimes．
Cooking 
One great way to save money is to learn to cook for yourself． Beyond that， cooking at home also helps you control your diet for better health． If you start doing this at an early age， you will not have to depend on your parents too much．
Keeping Promises： 
Promises are a matter of honesty and should be made with care． We must learn from an early age that our word must be followed up by action． When it isn't， others will quickly lose trust in us and not respect us．
Accepting Rejection （拒绝） 
Though you must． be careful not to break your word， others' promises aren't always kept． Learn about it early， and you won't be hurt easily． Also， not every job application or desired （渴望的） friendship will work out， so remember that there are more fish in the sea．
Lifelong Learning 
No matter how old you get， there will always be things beyond your understanding． It's better to learn to be modest now rather than take a proud fall later in life． Be open to new experiences and keep learning． And it's never too late to start．

（2）Which two skills can help you save money？
（3）If one of your friends breaks his promise to you， will you be angry？ Why or why not？
