No, the author mainly talks about his/her opinions on the library instead of giving readers as much information as possible.
Exercise 2 Read the text and answer the questions.
Do you ever see something cool in an advertisement and buy it immediately Many of us do this. However, smart shopping is about making wise choices. First, always ask yourself: “Do I really need this ” Second, compare prices in different stores or online. A similar item might be much cheaper elsewhere. Also, avoid buying things just because they are on sale. Saving money on something you don’t need is not a real save. Remember, being a smart shopper helps you save money for things that truly matter.

3. (答案不唯一)
1）I think the intended audience is young students or teenagers. Because they often see cool ads and might spend their pocket money without thinking. The language is simple and direct, just like talking to a young person.
2） The text is for anyone who wants to manage their money better, but especially for people who sometimes make quick buying decisions. The author uses “you” to speak directly to the reader, making it personal.
Unit 8 Reading Strategies: Making inferences
Exercise 1 Read the text and answer the questions. Then fill in the table below.
Smart shopping is more than just buying cheap things. It means thinking carefully before you spend money. A low price might seem good, but if the item is of poor quality, it is not a good deal. Good quality products might cost more at first, but they last longer. This saves your money and reduces waste. Remember, a wise shopper buys useful and long-lasting things, not just whatever is on sale.
1. What might be wrong with a low price
2. How does buying a long-lasting product help the environment

Text Information (Find a clue from the text) Your Knowledge (What you know from life or experience) Your Inference(What you can figure out)
Q1: A low price might seem good, bit is the item is of poor quality, it is not a good deal. Cheap, low-quality things often wear out or break easily. Buying cheap things does not help some money because you will have to keep buying the same item again and again when it breaks.
Q2: Good quality products might cost more at first, but they last longer. This saves your money and reduces waste. The more thing we throw ,the more rubbish there will be. It helps the environment because we throw away fewer broken items, and it means less trash and pollution.
Exercise 2 Read the text and answer the questions. Then fill in the table below.
Needs vs. Wants
To manage your money well, you must know the difference between needs and wants. Needs are things you must have to live, like food and water. Wants are things you like but can live without, like the latest video games. Before you buy something, stop and think: Is it a need or a want Buying too many wants can use up your money quickly. By focusing on your needs first, you can save for your future goals and avoid unnecessary stress.

2. What may future goal include in the text
Answer Key:
Text Information (Find a clue from the text) Your Knowledge (What you know from life or experience) Your Inference(What you can figure out)
Q1: Buying too many wants can use up your money quickly. If you don’t have money for important things like food or school things, it can cause worry and problems. The stress might come from not having enough money left to pay for important things you truly need, making life difficult.
Q2: By focusing on your needs first, you can save for your future goals and avoid unnecessary stress. Students often need money for bigger things when they grow up, like going to college, buying a car, or traveling. Paying for university education, a new laptop for school, or a special trip.
Exercise 3 Read the text and fill in the blanks.
Be a Smart Ad Detective
Advertisements are everywhere, trying to make you buy things. They often use famous people or words like “big sale” to make products look cool and popular. A smart consumer is like a detective. Don’t believe everything you see in an ad. Ask questions: “Is this product really as good as they say Do I need it, or just want it because of the ad ” Taking a moment to think can help you make smarter choices with your money.
