The school held an activity called "Making Money" last weekend. About 200 Junior l and Junior 2
students were divided int0 30 teams. They went out to make money by selling things.
What did they choose to sell? Some sold newspapers; some chose bottled water; some sold
environmentally-friendly shopping bags and bamboo baskets.
Hu Qing"s team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought
parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management
officers (城管). The officers asked them to leave. "We played hide-and- seek (捉迷藏) with the officers
for the whole morning," said Hu. "Finally we had to give up."
Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didn"t meet any officers. But few people
were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying "For Country Kids". It
worked. More people came to their stall (小摊). A foreigner even gave them 100 yuan. "He didn"t want
any change. He said he wanted to help the children," said Wang. "We were touched." Later that day they
gave the 100 yuan and more to the "Project Hope" office.
Meng Zhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5
yuan and getting back 80 yuan. They made 40.5 yuan. "It was not easy to make the money," said Meng.
"Some people just looked. Others just tasted but didn"t buy. Now I know how hard it is for our parents
to make the money we need to lead happy lives."

Young people are often unhappy when they"re with their parents. They say that their parents don"t
1 them. They often think their parents are too strict with them. 2 often find it difficult to win
their children"s trust (信任). They seem to forget how they themselves felt when they were 3 , so
they can"t quite understand young people now.
For example, young people like to do things without much thinking. It"s one of their ways to 4
that they have grown up and they can do 5 any difficult things. And 6 people worry more easily.
Most of them usually 7 what they will do carefully, while young people don" t.
Young people often make their parents angry by clothes they 8 , the music they enjoy and
something else. But they don"t mean to cause any trouble. 9 just feel that in this way they can be
far away from the old people"s 10 and they want to make a new culture of their own. And 11
their parents don"t like their music or clothes or their way of speaking, the young people feel very
12 , because sometimes they even don"t want their parents to say "Yes" to what they do. They
13 to stay at home alone and do 14 they like.
I think young people should try to 15 their parents to understand them. If so, they can get on
well with each other.
