(2021·滨州模拟)
A first-year undergraduate student in Chengdu, recently complained online that her mother refused to raise her monthly allowance to 4, 500 yuan ($ 633) even when she said her current allowance 2, 000 yuan was not enough to cover her expenses, sparking a debate on how much money a college student needs per month. One expert shares his views on the issue with China Daily: Students should pursue education, not comfort.
Even for a college student studying in a first-tier city in China, 2, 000 yuan is enough to cover all his or her monthly expenses. In fact, for a college student in Chengdu a monthly allowance of 2, 000 yuan is more than enough. According to a survey conducted by a bookkeeping platform, the average monthly expense for an undergraduate in cities other than Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2, 000 yuan in 2019; for Chengdu, it was 1, 900 yuan.
Claiming that she can hardly afford new clothing and cosmetics with her 2, 000
yuan monthly allowance, the undergraduate student in Chengdu criticized her mother
for refusing to raise her pocket money. Her “meager” allowance, she said, prevented her from buying branded goods that her hostel-mates enjoyed.
By the time a person enters a college, she or he should have developed a healthy consumption habit. And a youth should adjust her or his consumption according to her or his family income. On a deeper level, the money they spend in college should depend on how much they value their parents’ hard work. Besides, some college students could take UP part-time jobs to meet their monetary needs if they feel their parents don’t or can’t send them enough money. In this way they can also learn to meet the requirements of life in the future and develop healthy consumption habits. More importantly, they should always bear in mind that education is their top
priority in college.

【知识拓展】 长难句分析
A first-year undergraduate student in Chengdu, recently complained online that her mother refused to raise her monthly allowance to 4, 500 yuan ($633) even when she said her current allowance 2, 000 yuan was not enough to cover her expenses, sparking a debate on how much money a college student needs per month. (第一段第一句) 分析:本句是主从复合句。A first-year undergraduate student in Chengdu, recently complained online that是主句, 后面含有complain的宾语从句。宾语从句中when she said her current allowance 2, 000 yuan was not enough to cover her expenses, 是when引导的时间状语从句, 状语从句中含有said的宾语从句。sparking a debate on how much money a college student needs per month是现在分词短语作结果状语, 后面how much money a college student needs per month是on 的宾语从句。
翻译:一个在成都一年级的本科学生, 最近在网上抱怨她的母亲拒绝提高她的每月津贴至4 500元(633美元), 即使她说她目前津贴2 000元不足以支付她的费用, 引发讨论大学生每月需要多少钱。

It’s no secret that there’s an abundance of fascinating places to visit in Japan. But as you plan your trip, don’t overlook the all-important question: What do I want to do?
Find the themed cafe of your dreams
You might dislike the common cafes, but Japan’s are in a different league altogether. There’s a cafe or restaurant for every interest. Maybe you want to pet cats, eat while surrounded by your favorite cartoon characters, or dine in a prison cell.
Wear a kimono(和服)
These elegant pieces of traditional clothing are often passed down through the generations of a family, and new ones cost thousands of dollars. Luckily for tourists, more and more rental shops are turning up in traditional districts in Tokyo.
