The first week was difficult.When his friends went to the milk tea shop，Jason hesitated（犹豫）.He wanted to join them，but he remembered his goal.He chose to drink water instead（代替）.Sticking to his budget became a habit.He also found a way to make more money by helping his neighbors walk their dogs.
Time flew by.Three months later，Jason opened his piggy bank.He counted the coins and notes carefully.He had 550 yuan!He not only bought the guitar but also bought a music book.He felt proud because he got the guitar in a special way.He learned that buying things with the money you make feels better than spending your parents' money.
Now，Jason tells his friends how to save money effectively.He knows that if you have a clear goal，saving money can become easier.Money is just a tool，and you are its master.It is never too early to learn financial skills.This is a valuable experience.

When was the last time you used cash？For many of us，it feels like ages.Have you ever looked carefully at RMB notes？
Today，we pay for bubble tea or meals with just a QR code or a tap of the phone.Notes seem to have disappeared （消失）.But they are a lot more than just money.Instead，they offer important windows into Chinese culture.Take the 100 note，for example.Its background pattern （图案） looks very similar to a phoenix （凤凰） design on a piece of Warring States Period lacquer ware （漆器）!
In fact，China was one of the first countries in the world to use paper money.During the Song Dynasty，people began to use notes such as jiaozi.They had detailed designs.Besides being beautiful，this made it hard to make fake money.Later，another note—baochao，appeared in the Ming Dynasty.
Today，each RMB note features a flower that plays an important role in Chinese culture.For instance，the 50 note bears the chrysanthemum （菊花）.This flower is often considered as a symbol of a person who lives alone in nature and far away from others.The most famous one is Tao Yuanming，the poet who wrote the famous line "Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence."
Another great example is the plum blossom （梅花） on the 100 note.This flower blooms in the cold of winter，so it often stands for strength，hope，and courage.It's probably the most celebrated flower in our culture and has appeared in more poems than one can count since ancient times.
RMB notes carry a cultural weight far heavier than the numbers printed on them!
32.Which picture shows the money people used in the Song Dynasty？ ______
A. B. C. D.
33.What's in common on each RMB note today？ ______
A. Each note has a phoenix design. B. Each note has a dragon design.
C. Each note has a head of a poet. D. Each note has a flower pattern.
34.Why does the writer mention （提到） Tao Yuanming and his poem in Paragraph 4？ ______
A. To show the importance of chrysanthemums in ancient China.
B. To emphasize （强调） that Tao Yuanming is one of the most famous poets in China.
C. To give an example of the symbolic meaning of chrysanthemums in Chinese culture.
D. To prove that all patterns on RMB notes come from ancient poems.
35.What does the flower on the 100 note mean？ ______
A. The spirit of long life and happiness.
B. Strength，hope and courage.
C. The beauty of life.
D. The cold of the winter.
36.What's the best title of this text？ ______
A. The History of Notes in China.
B. The Importance of Notes in China.
C. The Chinese Culture Hidden （隐藏） in Notes.
D. The Flowers on Notes.
