What do you do with your money? Let’s see how Cindy and Li Yu manage their money.
Cindy, aged 16, Australia
In the past, I spent most of my money on clothes, snacks and phones. I ran out of money very quickly and couldn’t buy anything else.
I’m always interested in China. My parents have agreed to take me to China this summer, but I’ll have to pay for my own air tickets. How exciting! So I’m starting to save money. I also work at a supermarket. Every Tuesday and Thursday after school, I work as a cashier (收银员) for two hours.
I’ll work harder and make more money. I can make my dream come true!
Li Yu, aged 15, China
Usually, I do some housework to make pocket money. My parents tell me to manage my money well.
I spend some of my money on books, snacks and school things. I save the rest in the bank for special things. This year, I want to buy my mother a silk scarf for her 40th birthday. Luckily, I have enough money for it.

解析：
1. 定位原文介绍Cindy的内容部分，原文说明她的父母同意今年夏天带她去中国旅行，但她需要自行承担机票费用，由此可得出她存钱的用途。
2. 原文提到Cindy每周二和周四放学后做收银员，每次工作2小时，计算可知每周总工作时长为4小时。
3. 定位介绍Li Yu的第一段内容，可以直接找到她赚取零花钱的方式。
4. 原文提到Li Yu会把日常开销之外剩下的钱存入银行留作特殊用途，到妈妈40岁生日时已经攒够了买丝巾的钱，据此可以给出回答。
5. 结合两人合理规划零花钱、为目标努力、攒钱做有意义的事的故事内容，写出符合文意的正向感悟即可。
