听力原文及参考答案：

Every month Catherine receives 50 dollars from her parents. It is not given to her as a present but as pocket money. Catherine must do something for her family to earn the pocket money. On weekdays, she helps her mother with cooking after school and washes the dishes after dinner. At weekends, she takes out the rubbish and cleans the yard around the house. She doesn’t have to pay for her food and clothes with the money she has earned. She can use the money to buy something that she likes, such as books, flowers, chocolates and CDs. If the thing she wants is expensive, she will save up for it. If she doesn’t work because she forgets it or wants to be lazy one day, her parents will take away five dollars from her monthly pocket money. In order to earn the money every month, Catherine has to keep on helping her mother with the housework every day. Sometimes she really wants to give up because she would like to spend more time watching TV and DVDs or playing games with her friends. But if she does, she will not earn any money to buy what she likes. Gradually, she understands what “No pain, no gain” means.
