一、完形填空
Little Mary sees her mum spend money on daily needs. She sees her dad buy new tools. She thinks it's great fun.
"Money is just some paper," Mary thinks. "Why do my parents get the things from others after they
the paper?" Then she has an idea. She
her big box of crayons. She colours some paper and cuts out pieces in the
of the 100-dollar bill (纸币). She takes her paper money to the
shop to buy a doll.
The shopkeeper(店主) is very
and says, "Sorry, my girl. That's not real money. You can't use the paper to buy things."
Mary asks her dad about money. He answers, "Money is a
type of paper. You have to work to get money. That is the only paper you can use to buy other things."
"Can I work and get some money?" Mary asks.
"Yes," says her dad. "Wash the car for me, and I will pay you
your work."
Mary keeps washing the car from eight to ten o'clock in the morning. Then she gets six dollars for that. She happily goes back to the shop and buys the doll. "The work is so
, but spending the money is so easy," Mary thinks. Now, she knows
her dad and mum work every day for money. She decides to spend money in a
way in the future.
