Successful savings depend on the ABCs of saving.
Aim: setting a goal
The first step towards savings is deciding on a goal that you want to save for.
Things that don’t cost much money and take a short time to save for are called short-term goals. Saving money to go to the movies or to buy a small toy are short-term goals.
Things that cost more money and take longer to save for are long-term goals. Saving for a bicycle or a video game player are common long-term goals for kids. A long-term goal for adults might be a new house, a car, or paying for college.
Bank: creating a savings place
Next, you need to create a place where you will put your savings. If you need to save a lot of money for a long time, you can ask your parents to help you set up a savings account(账户) at a bank.
Coins and Currency: making savings a habit. Now you are ready to start saving. Do you get money by doing chores（家务活）? If you do, make it a habit to put some of the money in your bank before you want to spend it. When you get money as a gift, put it in your bank, too.

When something becomes fashionable very quickly, we say that it’s a “craze”. In the 20th century a lot of crazes started in the USA and then became popular in other parts of the world. American youth culture has spread through tourism, TV, films, magazines and music videos.
One of the biggest crazes was the hula hoop(呼啦圈). Hula hoops are not popular now, but in the 1950s they were a sensation. An American company started to make plastic(塑料的) hoops as toys, and in the USA the company sold 100 million hoops in a year.
Frisbees(飞盘) were another Wham-O product(产品). Two businessmen made a plastic type of the flying pans, and sold their products to Wham-O.
Most crazes come and go, but sometimes they survive. When the big skateboard started in California in 1965, many parents and governments said that the boards were dangerous, and they were not allowed in some areas. But the boards became popular again and they are still an important part of youth culture today.

A study suggests that the United States needs to work on training and keeping scientists.
Since 1980, the number of jobs that need science and engineering (S&E) knowledge has increased (增加). And each year in the US, the number of jobs that need S&E skills increases by 5%.
In the next 20 years, many talented people with S&E knowledge will retire (退休), Therefore, to have enough talented people, universities need to train students in S&E. Yet fewer and fewer students are choosing jobs in S&E. so there will be a gap (缺口) in the future.
In the past, the US filled this gap with foreign talented people. These people came to the US to study and got their doctorates (博士学位) from American universities. Many of them lived in the US to use their science skills . In 2001, foreign talented people not more than half of the doctorates in S&E in this country.
But the US can’t only depend on foreign talented people. In order to have more Americans with doctorates that work in jobs in S&E, more students need to go to university. However, even though the US is starting to support science, and middle school students are deciding to become scientists, these students will not finish their studies until 2018 or 2020.
