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!zxxk
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(缠结在一起),　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.

Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you’ll know they’re actually the latest in teenage footwear.

　 But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.

　 Here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers’ shoe choice.

　 KEDS/VANS

　 Slip-on shoes with elastic (弹性的)sides are particularly popular among teenage boys—with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.

　 The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.

　 BALLET PUMPS

　 The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans. However, ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.

　 “As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait(步法), which leads to short-and-long-term problems such as calluses(茧子), heel and knee pain. ”

　 WEDGES AND STILETTOS

　 These shoes can also cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so high that they can force the wearer’s body weight forward, making them very unstable.

　 Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain.

　 SCHOOL SHOES

　 So what do podiatrists(足科医生)have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?

　 Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark’s, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.

　 If your teen insists on wearing “bad” shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器) in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot, and properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage.

68. Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?

A. Marks & Spencer. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Wedges and Stilettos.

C. Keds/Vans. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Ballet Pumps.

69. Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list?

70. The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _______ .

A. increase　　　　　　　　　 B. worsen　　　　　　　　　　 C. stop　　　　　　　　 D. cure

71. In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?

A. Sports. 　　　　　 B. Science. 　　　　 C. Health. 　　 D. Shopping.

　　As I travel across China, I hope to learn as much as I can about the Chinese people, your history, and your dreams for the future and I hope to help the Chinese people understand more of America's history, the lessons the American people have drawn from it, and the dreams we hold for the 21st century.

The steps we take over the next week can lead to far greater strides for our people in the years ahead.

　　Here in this city of your magnificent history, we must always remember that we, too, are ancestors(祖先). Someday our children and their children will ask if we did all we could to build just societies and a more peaceful world. Let our monument be their judgment that we did that. Let our progress include all people, with all their differences, moving toward a common destiny.
