A篇（6小题，每小题2分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When we think of money, we usually imagine coins and banknotes. But in different times and places, people have used many unusual things as money. This practice is called “commodity money” — using everyday objects that have value to everyone.
In ancient China, people used cowrie shells as money thousands of years ago. These small, shiny shells were rare and beautiful, so people accepted them in exchange for goods. Later, people used bronze objects shaped like shells. This was the beginning of metal money.
On the island of Yap in the Pacific Ocean, people used giant stone wheels as money. These stones could be as big as a car! Since they were too heavy to move, people simply remembered who owned which stone. When someone bought something, everyone agreed that the stone now belonged to the new owner — even if the stone never moved from its spot.
In some parts of Africa, people used salt as money. Salt was very valuable because it helped preserve food and kept people healthy. Workers were sometimes paid in salt. In fact, the English word “salary” comes from the Latin word for salt.
During World War II, cigarettes became a form of money in prisoner-of-war camps. Prisoners would trade cigarettes for food, clothes, or other services. Even non-smokers accepted cigarettes because they knew they could trade them for something else.
These examples show that money is really just something that people agree to accept. Whether it is shells, stones, salt, or paper, money works because we all believe in its value.

A. It comes from the word for stone.
B. It comes from the Latin word for salt.
C. It comes from the word for shell.
D. It comes from the name of an island.
5. Why did prisoners accept cigarettes as money even if they didn’t smoke
A. Because cigarettes were good for health.
B. Because they could trade them for other things.
C. Because the guards forced them to.

Money can buy many things, but it cannot buy happiness. This is an old saying, but is it really true Some studies have tried to ____1____ this question. Researchers have found that money does make people happier — but only up to a certain ____2____. When people have enough money to meet their basic needs, such as food, housing, and healthcare, more money does not bring much more happiness.
What really ____3____ to happiness is how people spend their money. Studies show that spending money on experiences — like travel, concerts, or learning a new skill — brings more lasting joy than buying material things. Why Because experiences become ____4____ that we can look back on and share with others. A new phone may get old quickly, but a trip with friends can be remembered forever.
Another surprising ____5____ is that giving money to others makes people happier than spending it on themselves. When people donate to charity or buy gifts for friends, they feel a sense of purpose and connection. Even small acts of ____6____, like buying coffee for a stranger, can boost your mood.

D篇：回答问题（4小题，每小题1分，共4分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Do you know where your money really goes every month Many teenagers receive pocket money but have no idea how they spend it. By the end of the week, the money is gone, and they cannot remember what they bought. This common problem can be solved with a simple habit: keeping a spending record.
A spending record is just a notebook or an app where you write down every purchase you make. Every time you buy something — even a bottle of water — you write it down. At the end of the week, you look at your record and see exactly where your money went. You might be surprised to find that small daily purchases, like snacks or drinks, add up to a large amount.
Once you know your spending habits, you can make better choices. For example, if you see that you spend 50 yuan a week on bubble tea, you might decide to cut that in half and save the rest. Some teenagers use a spending record to save for a special goal, like buying a birthday gift for a parent or a new video game.
Financial experts say that keeping a spending record is the first step toward becoming financially independent. It takes only a few minutes each day, but the benefits can last a lifetime.

VIII. 写作（范文）
题目：How to Manage Pocket Money Wisely
Dear fellow students,
Today I want to talk about how to manage pocket money wisely. This is an important skill that will help us in the future.
First, I suggest making a simple budget. Write down how much money you get each week and plan how to spend it. For example, you can save 30%, spend 50% on things you need, and use 20% for fun. Second, keep a spending record. Write down every small purchase. You might be surprised how much snacks and drinks cost!
Managing money well brings many benefits. You will never run out of money before the weekend. You can save for something special, like a gift for your parents. Most importantly, you will learn to be independent.
Let’s start today!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
