      EAT YOUR VEGETABLES.Wash your hands. Always say  “please” and “thank you”. We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.

      Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:

      Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投资)it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she’s 65,she would have $980,983!

      Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.

      Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.

      Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving.  “For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot,” says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.

      Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo,co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don’t want to buy it.” You might say, ‘I’d rather save that money for your education,’” advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don’t spend money, you have a chance to share your values.

67.The writer gives some basics to help          in a proper way.

        A. parents teach their children how to deal with money

       B. children follow their parents ’instructions

       C. children manage their money

       D. parents save their money

68.The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parents should          .

       A. give him some regular pocket money

       B. encourage him to put money away for it

       C. explain to him the importance of investment

       D. tell him to save some money by using a credit card

69.The underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 6 means           .

       A. honor                  B. praise                   C. excitement           D. encouragement
70.What leads the writer to write this article?

       A. Parents want to know how to educate their children.

  B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.

       C. He thinks money management the most important for children.

       D. Parents care Little about their children’s management of money.

 

67.A.

解析:从整篇文章来看,是写给父母的建议.

68.B.

解析:细节题.从Teacher Patience这一节可以得出答案.

69.D.

解析: 词义推测.从文章For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot .可以看出,这里应该是”鼓励,激励”的一种措施.

70.D.

解析:推理题.根据文章的一段可以看出作者写着篇文章的原因和目的.B 太过笼统.

Jonny Jones was a nice and popular boy, who everyone loved.He was so much fun, so good and so kind to everyone that they treated him wonderfully. But as everything he needed was given to him without asking, Jonny became a weed. He was so spoiled by everyone that he couldn’t stand any hardship.

One day Johnny heard a mother saying to her son “Come on, my boy, get up and stop crying. You are behaving like Johnny Jones.” That made Johnny feel very ashamed. But he was sure that he would prefer to be known as a good boy rather than a fool. Worried, he spoke to his father about all this, though he was afraid that maybe he would be laughed at for having such worries. His father, far from laughing at Johnny, told him that a teacher had taught him a secret trick to turn him into the toughest boy off all. “Eat a candy less, study a minute more, and count to five before crying.” Johnny asked, “Just that? ” “Yes, just that,” said his father, “It’s very simple, but I warn you that it won’t be easy.”

Johnny was happy like a bird, ready to follow the advice. He went to see his mother, and she noticed how happy he was when she offered him candies. “One candy less”, thought Johnny, so he only took one. That afternoon he had another chance to put it into practice by studying one minute more. The result was that he missed the first minute of his favorite program! But having achieved this gave him a great feeling of satisfaction. The same happened when he ran up against the corner of the kitchen table. He only managed to count to four before crying, but that was left deeply in his mother’s memory.

Over the following days Johnny kept using the motto in his life as his father told him. And the more he put this into practice ,the easier it got. Before long he realized that he could also do things that would seem impossible before.

1.The underlined word "weed" in the first paragraph refers to ____.

    A.a person with a strong v/ill

    B.a person with a weak character

    C.a person who isn't popular with everyone

    D.a person who changes his behavior according to the situation

2.What made Jonny Jones decide to change himself?

    A.A mother's words.               B.Others' attitude to him.

    C.His father's advice.            C.His teacher's warning.

3.What is the key point of the advice from Jonny's father?

    A.Eat fewer candies than before.

    B.Count to five before crying.

    C.Talk with parents and follow their advice.

    D.Learn to control oneself and keep using the motto in life.

4.What message does the writer want to convey through the story?

    A.One should be brave to face his mistakes.

    B.Nothing is difficult as long as you set your mind on it.

    C.Spoilinga child too much may result in his selfish behaviors.

    D.A strong will can be developed by small but consistent efforts.

STRANGERS parties go wild these days. The main idea of them is to never let the people know who their matches are until the last minute. These are some popular practices that are storming the world’s youth on this V-day.

Speed dating

It’s exactly what the name implies. Complete with a timer, a whistle and 50 willing singles, speed dating is not the traditional dinner and a movie type of first date. Singles pay US $35 for three minutes with more than two dozen future dates. They ask questions and try to get to know each other. At the sound of a whistle, they do the same thing all over again―25 times in all.

Lock and key party

Women are given a lock and men are given a key, upon arriving at the party. Each key and lock has several matches. One can hunt for his/her later-to-be sweetheart in various groups, and try out the key or lock. Each time a lock and key match the pair are entered into a ballot (票数) for top prizes!

Dinner in the dark

Waiters wearing night vision glasses guide the guests through the pitch-black dining room. They are seated at the table and familiarized with the wine glass and plate. Food is handled with the fingers. People will not see the food they are eating or the guests at their table until the dessert course. At that moment, dining partners will appear.

Message party

Have A Cocktail, Leave A Message! When you arrive, you get a tag with a number and a pad of post-it notes. If you see someone you like, write a message on the message board. But wait… You’ve got a message… Go and collect it! You can make new friends and win lots of gifts. The more messages you leave on the bulletin board, the more chances you have of winning prizes.

1.What do you think the similarities of these parties are?

   A. All the parties have very strict rules for their members.

   B. If you want to go to any of the parties, you have to buy a ticket.

   C. All the parties are aimed at strangers who want to be lovers.

   D. All the parties are suitable not only for the young but for the old.

2.In which party does a participant have to be careful with the time?

A. Speed dating.                          B. Lock and key party.    

C. Dinner in the dark.                    D. Message party.

3.If you go to the Dinner in the dark, ________.

   A. you have to eat with your hands

   B. you have to wear night vision glasses

   C. guests eat all the courses in the darkness

   D. your dining partners will help you choose the food

4.How many of the parties offer gifts or prizes?

   A. 4.                  B. 3.              C. 2.              D. 1.
