I also learned from Steve that personal property(财产) is a sacred(神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to the loser although it had little value (价值). He also reminded (提醒) me of how sad I was when I lost the small dog my father made from a bit of cheap wood. At last, I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids. I still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on the shoulder.
Yet of all the lessons Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow bird in the garden with a gun. Excited with my accuracy, I asked Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “Even if it hurts you first, you should think a long time and then decided whether you will kill it or not.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.

Needs are what you must have in order to live, like food and water, Wants are things you would like to have or do, 78 you can still live without them. For example, Ds and cartoons.
3. List what you spend on needs---and if there is money left over, you will save for the things you really want. This is called a budget.
4. If you don’t have enough money for what you need and want, you may have to 79 one for the other.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)(12分)
A bookstore chain “Popular Bookmall” introduced their special style of book distribution (分销) in Shanghai back in November. This experimental store offers books at very low prices, and there is no staff to require customers to pay before taking books away. Sounds like a book lover’s paradise!
Popular Bookmall had already set up such a shop in Nanjing. The organizers of the Nanjing
store report that it was a great success; enough customers voluntarily paid for their books. But most older “honesty stores” in China did not receive enough honest customers. For example, a self-service restaurant opened in Fujian province years ago. It allowed customers to pay whatever they chose, but about one-fifth of customers paid nothing. The organizers of the “honesty stores” say that their goal is to encourage people in China to remember how important honesty is.
Many Chinese are worried about dishonesty in China. Even at Popular Bookmall, not everybody chose to pay for their books. Is it a good way to solve it by law? Maybe not. We should listen to our conscience (良心). This has deep roots in Chinese culture. Confucius (孔子) taught Chinese to be conscientious and honest.
But there is also a great rational (理性的) reason for “honesty stores” : the more honest people there are in society, the more reasons we have to trust others. And if people trusted each other, they’d be more willing to share. For example, in a “sharing economy”, we do not have to think about saving or spending money all the time. We should try to help other people. In brief, society is built on trust, not only trade (商业).
