18、ave on their road maps wide-open spaces between towns.Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is some-thing yet to be learned from one-rOom schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today.

25、save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert, then probably keep your money somewhere in your room.If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money?One place to save mo
26、ney is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank(猪形储蓄罐), one year later youll still have the same amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account, one year later, youll have more money than you
27、 put in. Why?When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.
