2．Candy comes in many flavors.Some taste like fruit.Some taste like flowers.Some are chewy，like taffy （太妃糖） and gum.Hard candies are，well.jye.ai!So，they last a long time.
But，in spoken English，there are some types of candy that you cannot eat.For example，you can't eat eye candy.Eye candy is a person-man or woman-who is very good-looking.So，looking at this person is a treat for the eye，just like candy is a treat for the taste buds.
Do you hear of candy coat？Of course it is not a coat made of candy.But you can say I don't candy coat the truth.What does candy-coating something mean？Well，some pills are covered with a coat of thin，sweet candy.The coating makes swallowing the pill easier，and it may hide a bad taste.So，candy coating a difficult truth or situation means you don't directly discuss its bad parts.
After talking about candy you may want to eat some candies.However，some people dislike things that are very sweet，especially adults.But even if you do not like candy，you can still be called a kid in a candy store.This expression means a person is very happy to do something or to simply be somewhere.Imagine a child going from one candy display to the next，not knowing which candy to choose!
Talking about children brings us to another expression：as easy as taking candy from a baby.Think about a small helpless baby holding a piece of candy.Taking it would be very easy-mean，but easy.So，use this expression when you are talking about something that may be simple to do，but probably not right.
（1）What kind of girl can be described as "eye candy"？
A．Beautiful.
B．Optimistic.
C．Hardworking.
D．Warmhearted.

D．Candies' Different Flavors组卷：2引用：4难度：0.5 -
3．What do you do with money？Do you spend it or save it？Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to earn money？
Pocket money
Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents.They might have to do chores to get their pocket money，helping at home with tasks like cleaning，cooking，washing up，taking out the rubbish and ironing.
Different families give different amounts and the average for eight-to-fifteen-year-olds in the UK is about ￡6（53 yuan） a week.A report found that many children save at least a quarter of their weekly pocket money and that more boys than girls save their money.
Part-time work
A part-time job is an option for teenagers who don't have pocket money or who want to earn extra money.About 15 percent of teenagers have a job.Only children over 13 can work but there are some exceptions，for example，for actors.Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting，delivering newspapers，shop work and restaurant or café work.
There are strict government laws about children working.They can work a maximum of two hours a day on a school day but not during school hours.At weekends and during school holidays，they can work longer hours.As for wages，the national minimum wage for under-18s is around ￡4 per hour and it increases every year.Its minimum wage is higher if you are older.
Banks
In Britain，some children and teenagers have a bank account.There is no legal（法定的）age limit at which you can open a bank account，but a bank manager can decide whether to allow a child or young person to open an account.Parents can put pocket money directly into their child's bank account.
So，many teenagers are getting experience of working part-time，dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money.These are all steps towards becoming a financially independent adult and earning and looking after your own money.

A．8- to 15-year-olds get about £6 a month as their pocket money.
