How much should you save? You may be able to save 100% of your money. Does that mean you should? Not at all. The best way to develop good saving habits is to make saving a regular part of your life, along with spending.

Here is the rule you should remember: save before spending. Whenever some money gets into your hands, from a job or your pocket money or whatever, take your savings out immediately, before spending any of the money. The beauty of this system is that if you take away your savings, you are free to spend the rest.

Here are some more suggestions on how to successfully get into the saving habit from teens. Let’s see!

Tony,13: I put my money in a bank instead of my wallet, so the money is not there. And I have to take an extra step to get it.

Bill,14: When considering a major purchase(购买), wait a week or so, at least. This will help you make sure if you still want it, and the price might go down.

Dick, 13: Carry very little money always. You can’t spend money if you don’t have it. A cake would be nice, but without a dollar, you can’t get it. Little things like that really add up quickly.

Steve,16: I used to be weak when it came to money. I bought something whenever I went into a store. I’m glad I’m not that person now. I taught myself discipline by keeping a $20 bill in my pocket while waking around the mall all day and not buying anything. Now I have no strong wish to buy things when I go into a store. It works for me.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）

If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them .If you don’t, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.    

Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends. Let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place. That’s the most important thing you should do.  

There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. Give them a signal(信号)outing or whistling three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help.     

Keep on shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. they will give two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.    

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house---cover up the hole with branches with lots of leaves. Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.

When you need some water, you have to leave your little branches house to look for a stream. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in order to find the way back.
