Managing(管理) money is an important skill for adults. But a group of middle school students in the US have had some early lessons.On Sept 23, eighth-graders from Honey Creek Middle School in Michigan, US, had an eye opening experience called Let’s Get Real. The event aimed to help students use money properly.
“I didn’t know it costs so much money just in a month,” said Douglas Dillon, one of the students. Like other students, Dillon acted as a 28-year-old adult with a job and family. He chose to be an engineer. He could earn $5,000 (30,600 yuan) per month. But after he spent his income on essentials (必需品), including housing, taxes (税), transportation, childcare and entertainment (娱乐活动), he only had $347 left. “I really should spend it carefully and not waste it,” said Dillon.
Meanwhile,Braxton Scamihorn,another student from Honey Creek learned a greater appreciation (感激) for his parents and what it takes to pay the bills. The 14-year-old found that “kids cost a lot of money” when he learned that childcare for three children would cost $900 a month.
“It is just a necessary lesson on problems that the teens are going to face when they are about 28 years old,” said Peggy Murdoch, one of the organizers. They hoped the students learned about real life budget (预算) decisions and had more respect for their parents. The aim of “Let’s Get Real” is to .
A. Help students have a real experience.
B. Help students enjoy the fun of managing money.
C. Help students learn to use money properly. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Douglas Dillon?

A. housing and taxes
B. transportation and entertainment
C. childcare and travel Who is the organizer of the lesson?
A. Douglas Dillon
B. Peggy Murdoch
C. Braxton ScamihornWhat can we learn from the passage?

B. Many 28-year-olds will face some problems on managing money.
C. Honey Creek Middle School is in the U.K.

How do I like to travel?
Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the window. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch another one .you can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.Why doesn’t the writer like to travel by plane?
