Zack Hocking,the head of Child Trust Funds,said:"It's possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that's financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty."

Recently our class has conducted a survey about"The growth of post-90's generation".People have different opinions on it.Some people think that the post-90's generation are confident,ambitious and independent in thinking.They are fond of new things,ready to accept and try them.What's more,they have many new ideas,which makes them more creative.It's especially worth mentioning that they are enthusiastic and caring.They treasure friendship and are good at communicating with others.
However,others argue that the post-90's generation are too self-centered and dependent on their parents in life or teachers in study.They tend to live a comfortable life but are less able to overcome frustration.Besides,some of them lack the sense of responsibility and don't know how to show gratitude to others.Worse still,many are so weak in controlling themselves that they are often addicted to the Internet.

5.請閱讀下面文字,并按照要求用英語寫一篇150 詞左右的文章.
A netizen wrote on Weibo on Sept 11regarding a couple's shameful behavior of carving their names on a 300-year-old vat at the Palace Museum and called for the museum to report the case to the police.
The post caused a heated discussion online.Some criticized the offending behavior,saying,"I don't want to visit the Palace Museum only to find relics being carved by immoral tourists."Others said it is common that ancient relics in Palace Museum are being damaged and laws should be introduced.
Apart from random carvings,the Palace Museum has met several cases of shameful behaviors this year.In March open-air relics were trampled(踩踏) and in May unclothed models were photographed riding on ancient relics in the museum's courtyard.
Similar incidents take place every year.In 2013,a visitor named Liang Qiqi cut"Liang Qiqi has come here"on a vat in the tourist attraction,causing a mass internet hunting.Worse still,in 2013,a Chinese boy carved his name on a stone sculpture at an ancient temple in Egypt and produced widespread reaction worldwide.
