Do you want to get pocket money or do you want to learn the value of money? Starting your own business is an excellent way to learn skills that will last all your life.
If you are more business minded, choose what you want to do to make money and then ask your parents for support. Here are some ways for kids to make money with their own business.
●Housing Cleaning: This is a good job for older children. Practice on your own house first. Then you’ll have some experience.
●Mother’s Helper: If you are too young to baby-sit(照看孩子), think about being a mother’s helper. This means that you look after the kids while their mother gets some work done in another place.
●Plant Watering: If you know of someone going on a trip soon, offer to water their plants for a little money. You should learn which plants need to be watered every day and which prefer to stay drier.
●Pet sitting: Someone leaving on a trip might also need you to look after their animals. They should show you where the food is and how much to feed the pets each day. For dogs, you will need to walk them and spend some time playing with them. And don’t forget to let them out or go to the bathroom!
●Toy renting(租): Do you have lots of old toys that you don’t need any more? Rent them out to families with children who are tired of their own toys, or to grandparents who have children visiting.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. Remember to be friendly with the customers(顾客). Good luck!

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One time in the middle of the night, an old lady in her 80s took my taxi. She gave me an address, and then asked: ―Could you drive through downtown?‖
―It’s not the shortest way,‖ I answered quickly.
―Oh, I don’t mind,‖ she said. ―I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.‖
I quietly shut off the meter (里程表). ―What route would you like me to take?‖ I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived, the place where she danced as a girl. As the sun was rising, she asked me to go to the address she had given me.
―How much do I owe you?‖ she asked, reaching into her purse.
―Nothing,‖ I said.
―You have to make a living,‖ she answered.
―There are other passengers.‖
―You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,‖ she said. ―Thank you.‖
I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly (漫无目的地), lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run?
29. What did the woman want to do that night?
A. She wanted to take a taxi. B. She wanted to see her husband.
C. She wanted to go through the city. D. She wanted to talk with the driver.

How can you buy a meal for lunch without any money in your pocket？Students in Class 9，Grade 8 at Mountain and Lake Middle School in Chengdu, Sichuan, have their ways. They give out flyers(传单), draw portraits(人物素描) and work as waiters.
The class, working in eight groups, finished the activity. Experiencing Life for Seven Hours, on March 18, ―I found students waste their food in the dining hall,‖ the class teacher, Deng Guiyong said, ―So I held this activity to help them understand how hard it is to make money.‖
Jiang Yao, 15, and his group members stood in the streets giving out flyers for about two hours and got the money for their lunch. Then they worked as waiters in a pizza restaurant cleaning the floor and toilets and getting food for guests. ―We were busy all along, so we were terribly exhausted after the day’s hard work.‖ said Jiang. ―We each got a pizza as a prize, which tasted much better than one I ate with my parents before.‖
When Xie Ni’s group didn’t make any money in three hours, the members became nervous about their lunch. The 14-year-old girl came up with the idea of drawing portraits to sell. ―I sold four portraits and one tourist even paid us 100 yuan for his portrait,‖ said Xie.
Xie realized that life is really hard. ―We have to work hard to get the money to pay for even a simple meal.‖ Xie said, ―We must value the happy life today.‖
On top of making money, each group was asked to do at least five good deeds(行为) during the seven hours. Students helped the old
cross the road, gave directions to tourists and turned in a lost bus card.
