It helps teenagers learn to say no. For example, choosing between delicious snacks and a great book helps teenagers practise the skill of making choices. And this skill helps them understand what matters more to them.
It gives a sense of independence. They feel proud when they can buy something with their own money.
Teenagers aren't good at dealing with money. They might not know how to use money wisely. They may spend it on something they don't really need.

Have you ever heard of "conscious(清醒的) spending"? According to Ramit Sethi, conscious spending is all about spending as much as possible on the things you love and cutting costs as much as possible on the things you don't need. It's about knowing what you really want and then spending your money on the things you love.
The term "conscious spending" suggests that people often experience unconscious spending nowadays. It's almost like unconscious eating. We're just going without a plan, and we're not really paying much attention, especially when using credit cards to pay.
The most important way to deal with unconscious spending is to ask yourself some questions. Where has my money been going? What do I love spending money on and why? How much do I need for the things I must have? How much do I want to save and why? How much do I want to set aside for unimportant buys?
Answering these questions can help you feel excited and clear about your money, know what you care less about, and live according to what's important to you. "Then, it's a lot easier to cut down your spending in areas that you don't need so much," Klontz said.
Your answers to these questions agree with what Sethi calls your "rich life"—the life that is special to you and not influenced by what anyone else thinks you should do. When you've already thought about what you really want, you will no longer have to feel anxious or doubtful about how you spend your money.
(1)、What is conscious spending?A、It means spending money as much as possible. B、It means cutting the cost of the things you like. C、It means spending money on the things properly. D、It means buying a lot of things you really like.(2)、The writer develops his idea in Paragraph 3 by ____.A、explaining differences B、listing numbers C、giving examples D、raising questions(3)、What does the underlined word "anxious" probably mean in Chinese?A、兴奋的 B、放松的 C、焦虑的 D、无聊的(4)、Where can we probably read the text?A、In a travel guide.

Every year, people around the world celebrate International Panda Day. This special day was started by the World Wide Fund (WWF). It is a time to learn about pandas and help protect them.
Pandas are called "living fossils (化石)" because they are very special animals. They have lived on the earth for over 8 million years. They are also China's national treasures. Pandas are famous for their black and white fur and their love for bamboo. In fact, pandas eat bamboo almost all day long. They need a lot of bamboo to get enough energy.
In the past, pandas were in great danger. There were only about 1, 100 pandas in the wild because of hunting and losing their homes. But now, thanks to many people's hard work, the number of pandas has increased. According to reports, the wild panda population has increased from about 1, 100 in 1988 to nearly 1, 900 in 2024, while the number of captive (圈养的) pandas worldwide has reached 728. They are no longer "endangered" but "vulnerable". This means they are still in danger, but things are getting better.
On International Panda Day, people do many things to celebrate. Some people visit zoos to see pandas up close. Others make art or take part in events to learn more about pandas. In 2024, in Hangzhou, there was even a big show of panda sculptures (雕像) to help people learn about protecting wildlife.

B、It's hard to change the situation pandas face now. C、More and more people are joining in protecting pandas. D、People's hard work has paid off, but there is still a long way to go.(3)、How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 4?A、By showing some numbers. B、By describing people's opinions.
