Starting good money habits now will put you ahead for the rest of your life.
Understand the power of time.
You probably aren’t making much money right now, but that doesn’t matter. ___ 16___ Let’s look at an example: At the end of your summer job, you have $1,000. You put your money in the bank. The bank will pay you interest (利息) at an annual rate of 5%. You don’t use one cent for 50 years. At the end of those 50 years, you will have $11,467.4.
____ 17____
The power of habit is almost as important as the power of time when it comes to money. If you start the habit of saving money now, that habit will always be with you. Every dollar you get, whether it’s a gift, an allowance (零钱), or pay from a job, get into the habit of saving it. ___ 18___ But if you started saving much more than that at an early age, it wouldn’t seem hard to you because it’s just a habit.
Avoid FOMO.
FOMO is fear of missing out. When you’re a teenager, it’s easy to think everyone is having more fun than you are. And sometimes, people are having more fun than you. That’s true no matter how young or old you are. ___ 19___
If you ask people older than you what their biggest financial (经济的) regret is, a lot of them will tell you that they wished they had started getting serious about money much earlier than they did. ___20___
A ．Time flies.
B ．What matters is time.
C ．Start a money saving habit.
D ．Start now so you don’t have that same regret.
E ．The older you get, the harder it can seem to save your money.
F ．What’s the most important is to save money as much as possible.
G ．It’s important, though, not to give up what you want most for what you want now.

____22____ Make it a habit to put down the things that you’re thankful for. “Set up a timer. I like writing in my journal in the morning because that sets my day up best. Or do it on your phone. Make it as easy as possible,”
says Costa.
Write a letter. Think of someone in your life who you have not had the chance to thank, says Costa. “Why are you grateful for that person Think of a specific example when they helped you. Then send them a letter, an email. ____23____”
If you’re having trouble finding someone to thank, think small. “The smaller you start, the more you will start seeing things you’re grateful for.” says Costa. Say “____24____ You think, I’m going to write about this later in my gratitude journal. I’m so grateful to him.”
There’s a difference between saying “thanks to” and “thanks for.” “Make sure you are giving thanks to something and not for something.” says Moore. ____25____ Being grateful “to” something or someone indicates a direct relationship. It reminds you of your connection with and responsibility to that person or thing.
A ．Start a gratitude journal.
B ．Use your phone to record gratitude.
C ．But experts say it doesn’t have to be so hard.
D ．Or even better, deliver the letter in person and read it to them.

Understand the power of time.

(2023 春 ·广东清远 · 高一阳山县南阳中学校考阶段练习) How similar are language and music
Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. ____46____ Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities.

We can read the ideas or hear the composition (作品) of someone who lived hundreds of years ago.
____48____
You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation.
Both share emotion.
____49____ Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. ____50____ I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics (歌词).
