Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.
Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.
77.For children who receive allowances, they’d better not ________.　　
A. waste money to buy gifts for their parents or friends　　
B. buy their favorite clothing or electronics for themselves　　
C. save money like their parents or other adults　　
D. ask for the next allowance before the decided date.
78．Many parents give children an allowance regularly to ______.　　
A. meet children’s basic need for life       
B. give control over their children　　
C. see whether they have financial mistakes  
D. help children learn how to manage money
79.If children are required to save their allowance, they ______.　　
A. can experience three things related to money　　
B. can understand the relation between goals and sacrifice　　
C. will do more work around the house　　
D. help themselves found the basis for their future life

What makes a good teacher? Generally speaking, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 　36 the attention and interest of your students; you must be a 　37 speaker, with a good, strong, 　38 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 　39 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. 　40 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 　41 his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 　42　 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listening to him, you will 　43 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 　44 according to what he is 　45 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t 　46 that he will indeed be able to act 　47 on the stage, for there are very important 　48 between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the 　49 words each time he plays a certain part; 　50 his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually 　51 before hand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 　52 on the stage. A good teacher 　53 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 54 : they ask and answer questions; they obey orders; and if they don’t understand something, they will say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 　55 it as he goes along.
