Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. One main purpose is to let kids learn how to manage their own money. 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 weekly pocket money.
First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget.
In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. They believe helping at home is a normal part of family life.
Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by buying things they want. They can save it for future use. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.
A. Others get monthly pocket money.
B. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause.
C. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount?
D. Some children are not good at managing their pocket money.
E. Learning how to get money is very important for every child.
F. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that.
G. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the right time.
【答案】C;A;G;F;B
【解析】本文主要讲述了孩子得到零花钱后的正确处理方法。
(1)根据下句:一个主要的目的就是让孩子想法自己挣钱。由此可知上句应该是一个问句,“问什么父母之给孩子一定数量多的前?”所以答案是C。
(2)根据上句:一些孩子得到每周的零花钱。与之相对应的是:另一些孩子得到每月的零花钱。some...others...,一些...另一些...。所以答案是A。
(3)根据上句:年轻的孩子在收到钱不久就会花完所有的钱。可知父母不能提供给他们更多的钱,直到合适的时候。所以答案是G。
(4)根据上文:为了鼓励孩子做家务,只要他们在家帮忙,一些父母给零花钱。根据下句:他们认为在家做家务是家庭生活的一部分。此处的they应该指的是“Some experts",说明很多人认为给钱让孩子做家务是错误的,因为在家里帮忙是孩子家庭生活的一部分。所以答案是F。
(5)根据上句:零花钱可以让孩子们有机会体验三件事。再根据后面的:他们可以花钱买他们想要的东西。他们可以保存供日后使用。由此可知B. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. (他们可以给它一个很好的原因花钱。)符合题意。所以答案是B。
