14、Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money)． The purpose isto let children learn from experiences at an age when financial (财务的) mistakes are not very costly．
How much money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish is quite different 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 (预算)． Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance． The object is to show young people that a budget requires a choice 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 children for work around the home． These jobs are a normal part of family life． Paying children to do other 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 do with money． They can share it in the form of gifts or giving a good cause． They can spend it by buying things they want． Or they can save it．
Saving helps children understand that costly goals sometimes need to give up something． You have to cut costs and plan for the future． Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing． Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance． A saving account (账户) is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest (复利息)．
Compounding works by paying interest． So， for example， one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will get two percent of one dollar and two cents， and so on． That may not seem like a lot， but over time it adds up．
1．Parents give their children allowance in order to ______．
A．let them make more money
B．pay for the housework they do
C．let them learn the value of money
D．help children manage family finance
2．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The time to give allowance．
B．The way to spend allowance．
C．How much allowance given to children．
D．Considerations taken to give allowances．
3．Why are parents advised to offer children allowances as planned?
A．To have children save money for larger costs．
B．To give them more allowances next time．
C．To help children learn to make a budget．
D．To let children make fewer mistakes．
4．What does the writer try to tell us?
A．The ways of limiting allowances．
B．The advice on a better family budget．
C．Offering allowance to children properly．
D．Teaching children to use allowances wisely．

15、Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to another with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have money to pay for food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a horse farm.
When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper about his dream. He wrote a seven-page（页）paper. He wanted to have a horse farm one day. He even drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.
The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with the words “See me after class”. So the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not come true for a young boy like you. You need a lot of money to own a horse farm. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a simpler dream, I will give you a good grade.”
After school he thought hard about it. At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”

16、Wang Ling, a middle school girl, felt angry with her parents after getting a boy’s phone call. “A classmate called me to discuss homework. We talked for just a few minutes before my parents got mad,” said the girl. “They asked whether I liked the boy. I’m sad Ididn’t, but they wouldn’t believe me.”
Wang’s trouble is not strange at all because puppy love becomes a big headache for both parents and schools. They worry that puppy love will be bad for their study. Her school makes it a rule not to allow any talk or any________between one boy and one girl alone.

17、Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki’s bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
The bed is connected to an alarm clock(闹钟). First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. Shewhisperedin a soft voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” After minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, “Wake up at once, or you’ll be late!”
If you don’t get up after the second recording, a mechanical(机械的) “foot” in the bed will kick you in the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide(滑落) off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed awake!
　　Hiroyuki’s bed is not in stores. There is only one bed — the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest(比赛). Maybe someday a company will make Hiroyuki’s bed and sell it in stores.
