单选题
That summer I drove west with a friend, and we ______ a little money doing odd jobs and as much as possible visited his relatives.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] 考查词组辨析。pick up可指“得到”，pick up a little money doing odd jobs意为“靠做零工挣到点钱”。step up 意为“加紧”，不能与money搭配。put aside “储存”和set aside “留出”这两个词组虽然都可以和 money一起连用，但从该句的角度去理解不合题意。
