She was bored because there was nothing fun for a girl her age to do. Mom promised it wouldn’t be too much longer, but the trip seemed to take a very very long time.04        Then, one day, a rabbit caught Emily’s eye. Maybe she could catch it, and then she’d have a pet! Emily ran after the rabbit into a small forest behind the wagons, but it disappeared (消失). Emily looked and looked for it, but at last she gave up. She turned to go back, but nothing looked familiar (熟悉的). She started in one direction, but it was the wrong way. Emily tried another direction, but soon found that was wrong, too.        Emily was scared. What if she couldn’t find the wagons? What if they didn’t realize she was lost and just kept moving farther and farther away from her? What if some wild animals hurt her?        Emily sat on the ground and started to cry ... but wait ... did she hear voices? She stood up and ran towards them. As she got closer, she heard her mom’s voice and the voices of some of the men from the train. Then she could see them. Emily ran as fast as she could, right into her mom’s welcoming arms.        Mom carried Emily back to their wagon and put her to bed. Emily was glad she was home. Home was wherever Mom was. She’d never say she felt bored again. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 (  ) 1. According to Paragraph 1, we can know that Emily wanted to ______.

But have you ever thought about how to spend your pocket money wisely? Here is some advice. 02        Make a list.        When you get your pocket money, don’t get too excited. We all have a lot of things that we want. But do you really need them? That’s why it is necessary to make a list before you spend money. Start with the thing you want most. You can also write down how much it costs or how important it is in your life. By doing this, you will see if it is really necessary to buy it.　　04        Help others.        How about being more selfless (无私的) and using your pocket money to help others? We all know that there are many people in the world who are in need of our help. Helping others brings out the best in us and is one of the greatest joys in our lives. So consider using your pocket money to do something useful and helpful, and feel how you can make a difference.【2：217】        Save (储蓄) as much as you can.        There is an old saying that “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” If you spend all your pocket money right away, you’ll have no money until your next “pay day”. A wallet sometimes might not be the best place to save money because it may make it easier for you to spend your money. Get a piggy bank (储蓄罐) or ask your parents to start a savings account (账户) for you. Someday when you look back, you’ll get a strong feeling of achievement by saving so much money by yourself! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 (  ) 6. Why should we make a list before spending money? A.
