　    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 think 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. A saving 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.

14. 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

15. 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.

16. If children are required to save their allowance, they ______.

   A. can experience the 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

17. What does the underlined phrase “compound interest” mean?

   A. The interest based on the original money and unpaid interest.

   B. A way of helping children earn two percent interest.

   C. The interest intended for children to earn money.

   D. A saving account opened for children’s allowance.

18. What would be the best title for the text?

   A. How to Give Children an Allowance

   B. Spend Your Allowance within a Budget

   C. Allowance Helps Children Learn about Money

   D. Doing Housework Earns Children Allowance

This Mother’s Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother. She passed away less than a month before Mother’s Day in the year 2000. She had been ill for almost two years, and I didn’t cry when she died, or at her funeral, but on that first Mother’s Day without her. On that day, I realized that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever.
She still lives in family memories, in the thoughts of her friends and co-workers, in the values she had instilled(灌輸) in her children, and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended.
She loved her gladioli and irises. Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of the soil and carefully wrap them in paper. The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted. It seemed like a lot of effort to me, but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before. She put the same hard work into caring for her family, instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play, compassion, and strong moral values so that we blossomed.
Share anecdotes about your mother’s life at your Mother’s Day party. Too often, we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away, fearful that we will unearth sad feelings. It doesn’t have to be that way. Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds（捆綁）the family together.
My mother passed away when her oldest grandchild was only eight years old. Children will enjoy sharing pictures and stories of the grandmother they may have never known or have little memory of. Sharing anecdotes to pass on to the next generation will give children a feeling of family history and continuity, and may be one of the best ways to honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us.
【小題1】What does the underlined words “passed away” ( in Paragraph 1)mean?

A．diedB．continuedC．startedD．lasted
【小題2】On the first Mother’s Day after mum died the author realized_______ .
A．mum had been dead for a long time B．mum had suffered a lot from the illness
C．it was true that mum had been dead D．it was impossible to depend on mum
【小題3】From the third paragraph we can infer that mum_______ .
A．loved her gladioli and irisesB．showed kindness to all her children
C．taught the children to plant patientlyD．had a good influence on the author
【小題4】At the Mother’s Day party people don’t mention their lost mums only because_______ .
A．they are simply afraid of causing sad feelings
B．they have forgotten their mums completely
C．they don’t love their mums any longer
D．they think their mums have passed away
【小題5】In order to show honor to our mothers and grandmothers we can _____ .
A．spend the Mother’s Day with our children
B．share the stories of them with the children
C．hold the Mother’s Day party every year
D．plant beautiful flowers in the family garden

A T-shirt a day has kept unemployment away for an American man who is making about $85,000 a year by selling advertising space on his shirt．

Jason Sadler, 26, was once a former marketing expert from Florida. In 2008, he founded his own company, “iwearyourshirt”, with the idea to wear a T-shirt supplied by any company and then use social media tools to develop the company . Sadler charges the “face value”of  the day for his human billboard (廣告牌) service. So January 1 costs $1, while December 31 costs $365. He said this may not sound like a lot, but it adds up to $66,795 a year if he sells out every day, which he did this year. He also sells monthly sponsorships(贊助) for $1,500, adding another $18,000 to his income.

“I walk around, take photos, wear the shirt all day … I blog about those photos, I put them up on Twitter, I change my Facebook introduction…and then I do a Youtube video. I made about $83,000 this year,” he told Reuters Television. The average U.S income is about $615 a week or about $32,000 a year ,according to the U.S government.

Sadler has already begun to plan for his year 2010. He is making services larger by hiring another person to wear a shirt a day on the west coast of the United States.

1．What is Sadler’s “face value” of the day December 30?

A．$364.       B．$365.       C．$615.       D．$1,500.
