2. in a local supermarket as a cashier，95 Australian dollars a week在當地超市做收銀員工作，每周可以得到95澳元。由下文如何花費可知，他的消費總數為45澳元，所以95-45=50故選B。

3. yuan for taking photos with classmates。5元用來與同學們拍照�？芍�，故選B。

4. 9 yuan for breakfast* 9 yuan for Coke and other drinks，9元吃早餐，9元用來買可樂或其它喝的�？膳懦鼳。根據The mobile phone bill 10 Australian dollars，10澳元支付手機費，可排除B。根據列表可知分別來自于兩個國家的男孩在得到與支配零花錢的方式上是不同的。故選C。
