When it comes to personal finance,our habits can really make or break us.When we’re able to adopt positive financial habits,the benefits are endless:a better credit score,less financial stress,a bigger savings account balance...Unfortunately,many of us have also taken on financial habits that could actually end up hurting us.Here are three financial habits you might want to consider breaking.
Spending more than you want to earn rewards points
Provided they’re used responsibly,rewards credit cards can be a good thing.However,if you find yourself using a credit card just so you can get more points,you might be in for a world of trouble.One way you can break this bad habit is to use your rewards card only for regular,monthly expenses.Let’s say you decide to leave your card at home and only use it to make payments on your phone bill,which you then pay back in full every month.
Ignoring your bills
Coming home to a big pile of bills is a burden,there’s no doubt about it.But tossing them onto the coffee table and ignoring them for weeks on end can have terrible consequences for your financial well-being.Whenever you find yourself faced with a bill,deal with it immediately.While it might be a bit of a struggle at first,over time you can get the rewards of having less financial stress.
Cycling your debt without fixing the real problem
While having a lower interest rate can help solve short-term problems for you,if you do it all the time you could be avoiding the possible problem.In fact,it might even be keeping you from coming to terms with the behaviours that are forcing you into a state of debt.Building a budget could help you uncover ways to cut back and save.
For most of us,changing our behaviour isn’t as simple as turning off a switch,so it may take a lot of time and effort.Starting is the hardest part but,I can assure you,it gets easier with time.

My Summer Trip
On the third day of summer holiday,July 10th,I flew to Shenzhen with my parents to have a relaxing summer trip.Located in the south of our country,Shenzhen is a beautiful coastal city.
During the 7-day holiday,I enjoyed having a walk along the beach after supper or having a swim in the afternoon.The sky is blue,the air is fresh.Wherever you go,you can always see the green trees,the neat grasses and the colourful flowers.They were really wonderful.
Forgetting all the burdens in my mind at school,I felt really relaxed and refreshed.Travelling not only relieves my pressure but also broadens my horizons.

A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department.No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve,so the shift(轮班) went to me.I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital.It was a thankless job.
At 9 p.m.,the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack.His face was pale,and he was frightened.The whole night I did my best to save his life.Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family,I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough,but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again.At 9 p.m.sharp,the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them,the man introduced himself as Mr Lee and said,“You probably don’t remember me,but last Christmas Eve you saved my life.Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me,handed me a small gift,and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group,but I wanted to see if Mr and Mrs Lee would return.This time,I volunteered for the shift.I kept an eye on the door.Once again,at exactly 9 p.m.,the Lees appeared,carrying a warmly wrapped bundle.It was their new grandchild.
Mr Lee,his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together.In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with them in the break room,where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.
Last year I saw Mrs Lee alone in the hospital with a gift for me.



I carefully opened the package and found a crystal(水晶) bell inside with the word “Friendship” engraved(雕刻) on it.

Last year I saw Mrs Lee alone in the hospital with a gift for me.Mrs Lee looked pale.She told me Mr Lee died from another heart attack two days ago.But he had never forgotten our appointment.He prepared the last gift days ago.They lived with a grateful heart and had a meaningful life for as long as 13 years.The appointment was a reminder of the fortune they got from me.
I carefully opened the package and found a crystal bell inside with the word “Friendship” engraved on it.Now,my family,my friends and I ring that bell on every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 p.m.and offer our best wishes to the man who we won’t forget.The bell always reminds us of being helpful to others and thankful to people who have helped us.第五单元过关检测

Aina was able to return the wallet to Chloe,who had forgotten the important item while trying to load her baby and groceries into the car.She couldn’t believe Aina’s thoughtfulness,so after he left their home,Chloe’s husband,Gray,used social media to give the security guard some praise.
“He rode his bicycle to return her wallet,completely full of everything important to her including cash.Nothing was so much as moved,” Gray explained.“Words cannot do this gentleman justice.He truly is what is right in this world.” From there,the power of social media took over!Gray’s post spread quickly for all the right reasons,which gave his business partner,Greg Gaudet,the idea to start a GoFundMe to buy Aina a new car!In just two weeks,they had raised over $25,000—enough to buy Aina a new car and cover his insurance and gas costs for 6 to 12 months!

The spending power of young people varies from person to person.Each,however,is faced with the same question:what to do with their money Recent headlines have shown more and more teens maxing out their parents’ credit cards on games or other online activities.
However people intend to use their money,the importance attached to managing it seems to be unparalleled among younger generations.As a result,Jerry Witkovsky and his method of using four jars to teach teenagers how to spend their money wisely caught the public’s attention.
When Jerry’s grandchildren turned 13,his present to each of them was four jars:one for Spending,one for Saving,one for Giving,and another for Investing.It was from then on that his grandchildren started to be in control of what to do with the money they receive.
The value taught with the Spending jar is that you are responsible for your own happiness.Money gives you independence and the opportunity to buy something you like.

The Giving jar is all about kindness and helping.Whether you want to help out a friend or give money to children in another country,it’s up to you.
The wider aim of the jars is to encourage teenagers to think more objectively about money and the things that it can do,so that they can grow up understanding the value of the valuable.In this way,they will be better equipped in their adult lives to make informed choices about how they use the money they have.Indeed,the small change inside their jars could mean a big change in how they manage their money.

When John Todd was a child,he loved to explore the woods around his house,observing how nature solved problems.A dirty stream,for example,often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived.When he got older,John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture,medicine,and fisheries in college,John went back to observing nature and asking questions.Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria(细菌) Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals With the right combination of animals and plants,he figured,maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did.He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge(污泥).First,he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other.Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals.He placed them in the tanks and waited.Little by little,these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem.After a few weeks,John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results.The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it!Within weeks,it had all been digested,and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years,John has taken on many big jobs.He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage(污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington.He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou,a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does.“Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says.“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening.Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”

Many people wonder what they can do to become well-rounded and competitive while increasing their rate of success.An often overlooked yet simple way to improve is to increase your knowledge by being a self-starter.
　16　 Rid yourself of assumptions and convictions so that you can be open and receptive to new information.This at times may even contradict what you have always believed to be true.You will eventually come across information that challenges your worldview.Rather than remaining in your comfort zone,use this time to stop,reflect and shed light on these ideas in a way that can develop and expand your vision.
After the mind has been ready,the next step is application.Create a to-learn list just as you would a to-do list.Learning information you can utilise in your daily life is very important to having a continuous desire to further advance your education.　17　 Reading a book on automobile repair isn’t the same as physically changing the oil or tire on your car.Reading about art isn’t the same as picking up a brush.If your knowledge can be directly applied in a functional and fun fashion,put it into practice!　18　
Surround yourself with like-minded individuals and try to always take something valuable away from your daily interactions.Many people are professionals in their field and have valuable information and insight to share.　19　 Never be too prideful,for each question you don’t ask is a missed opportunity!
Go ahead and challenge yourself today.Commit to expanding your mind,continuing your education and becoming a student of life.　20　 Remember to cultivate your mind so it is prepared to expand,blossom and grow.And share your fountain of knowledge.
A.Be willing to expand your mind.
B.Get ready to seek new information.
C.Many people learn by being hands-on.
D.Learning on the go has actually never been easier!
E.If you come across anything that confuses you,ask them!
F.Skill-based learning,for example,is useless if it isn’t applied.

My Summer Trip
On the third day of summer holiday,July 10th,I flew to Shenzhen with my parents to have a relaxing summer trip.Located in the south of our country,Shenzhen is a beautiful coastal city.
During the 7-day holiday,I enjoyed having a walk along the beach after supper or having a swim in the afternoon.The sky is blue,the air is fresh.Wherever you go,you can always see the green trees,the neat grasses and the colourful flowers.They were really wonderful.
Forgetting all the burdens in my mind at school,I felt really relaxed and refreshed.Travelling not only relieves my pressure but also broadens my horizons.

A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department.No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve,so the shift(轮班) went to me.I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital.It was a thankless job.
At 9 p.m.,the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack.His face was pale,and he was frightened.The whole night I did my best to save his life.Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family,I stopped by to see how he was doing.It was still tough,but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again.At 9 p.m.sharp,the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them,the man introduced himself as Mr Lee and said,“You probably don’t remember me,but last Christmas Eve you saved my life.Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me,handed me a small gift,and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group,but I wanted to see if Mr and Mrs Lee would return.This time,I volunteered for the shift.I kept an eye on the door.Once again,at exactly 9 p.m.,the Lees appeared,carrying a warmly wrapped bundle.It was their new grandchild.
Mr Lee,his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together.In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with them in the break room,where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.
Last year I saw Mrs Lee alone in the hospital with a gift for me.



I carefully opened the package and found a crystal(水晶) bell inside with the word “Friendship” engraved(雕刻) on it.

Last year I saw Mrs Lee alone in the hospital with a gift for me.Mrs Lee looked pale.She told me Mr Lee died from another heart attack two days ago.But he had never forgotten our appointment.He prepared the last gift days ago.They lived with a grateful heart and had a meaningful life for as long as 13 years.The appointment was a reminder of the fortune they got from me.
I carefully opened the package and found a crystal bell inside with the word “Friendship” engraved on it.Now,my family,my friends and I ring that bell on every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 p.m.and offer our best wishes to the man who we won’t forget.The bell always reminds us of being helpful to others and thankful to people who have helped us.
