Ⅹ. Read and choose.(阅读短文,选择正确答案。)
Jim loves basketball. His basketball is old, so he wants to buy a new one.
One day, Jim goes shopping with his grandmother. He asks his grandmother to buy him a new basketball, but his grandmother says no.
His grandmother says, “I didn’t bring enough money, so we can only buy what we need today. Needs are things that people can’t live without. For example, we need milk and bread for breakfast. We need meat and vegetables for lunch and dinner because our bodies need them. We need houses to live in.”
“But my basketball is old. I want a new one,” says Jim.
“I know you really want a new ball. You may also want a hat or a new toy. You want to have them, but you don’t need them to live. We can’t have everything we want. Sometimes we have to make choices(选择).”
“I see, Grandma,” Jim says with a sad face.
“But maybe you can use your pocket money to buy it. How much money do you have?” she asks.
“I don’t have enough pocket money now. I will save up for it next month,” Jim answers.
