Every week, Brad's parents give him 12. It is not a gift. In fact, Brad makes that money himself. Each day, Brad takes out the rubbish, does the dishes and walks the dog.The problem is that Brad's money goes away so quickly. Brad buys hundreds of toys. When he wants to go to the movies with friends, he can never cover a ticket. The money seems to burn a hole(洞) in his pocket.One day, Brad's mum says to him, “You should make a budget.”“What's that?” asks Brad.“It's a plan for how you spend your money. You put the money into different parts for different kinds of things, like toys and snacks. You spend only as much as your budget allows(允许). In that way, you're sure to have money for different things,” says his dad.“Sounds great,” says Brad. “Will you help me make one?”Then, they put the money into different parts for snacks, toys, movies and books. There are also two special parts, one for helping others and the other for Brad's savings.From that day on, Brad always has enough money. At the end of the year, he gives away 80 to the old people's home. Helping those in need makes Brad feel good. He then uses some of his savings to buy a small robot. That makes him feel good too.

B（2025·江苏南京鼓楼区期末）
每周，布拉德的父母会给他12美元。但这不是一份礼物。事实上，这笔钱是布拉德自己挣来的。每天，布拉德都会倒垃圾、洗碗和遛狗。
问题在于布拉德的钱花得太快了。布拉德买了数百个玩具。当他想和朋友去看电影时，他却总是买不起一张电影票。钱似乎在他的口袋里烧出了一个洞（意即钱花得很快）。
有一天，布拉德的妈妈对他说：“你应该做一个预算。”
“那是什么？”布拉德问道。
“这是一个关于你如何花钱的计划。你把钱分到不同的部分，用于不同种类的东西，比如玩具和零食。你只花预算允许范围内的钱。这样，你肯定会有钱用于不同的事情。”他的爸爸说。
“听起来很棒。”布拉德说，“你们会帮我做一个吗？”
然后，他们把钱分到不同的部分，用于零食、玩具、电影和书籍。还有两个特殊的部分，一个用于帮助他人，另一个用于布拉德的储蓄。
从那天起，布拉德总是有足够的钱。在年底，他捐了80美元给养老院。帮助那些有需要的人让布拉德感觉很好。然后他用自己的一些积蓄买了一个小机器人。这也让他感觉很好。
（ ）4. 布拉德通过_________挣钱。
A. 卖掉他的旧玩具
B. 做家务
C. 向他的父母求助
D. 在电影院工作
（ ）5. 布拉德为什么要做预算？
A. 因为他有太多的钱。
B. 因为他花钱很快。
C. 因为他的口袋有个洞。
D. 因为他的口袋对于钱来说太小了。
