But music is not all that matters.(38)F In a comedy show,Adele was shown to be the one who could make quarrelling relatives at the Thanksgiving dinner table put their differences aside.She collected many life-long fans with her girl-next-door charm.
(39)B Jillian Mapes wrote about this on the New York magazine site Vulture:"Adele is among the first plus-size female cultural idols(偶像)to reach the highest level of success without having to make herself the butt(笑柄)of fat jokes…She's shaped like me and like two-thirds of American women."(40)A

14.Children who are given pocket money are less likely to save up as adults than those who have part-time jobs,according to a report by economists.They said parents could shape their children by encouraging them to carry out some paid work such as delivering newspapers,babysitting or washing a neighbour's car.
The research team from the University of Sheffield in the UK asked 3,200 local children whether they had a part-time job or relied on their parents for pocket money,and then they compared spending habits of the two groups.The research found there was a distinct difference in the influences of these two different sources of children's income on their saving behavior.
The research concluded:"The magnitude(重要性)of the effect of a 1 percent increase in the child's allowance(零花钱) is associated with a decrease in the probability that the child saves by 21.8 percentage points.In contrast,the weekly pay that the child receives from part-time work is positively associated with the probability of saving."The research also found that working had positive long-term effects on the likelihood that a child will grow up to be good with money,"Whether the individual saved during childhood has a large effect on the probability of saving in adulthood,"according go the report.
Children are legally allowed to work from the age of 13,with the exception of children who are paid for modeling or acting in TV shows and theatre productions.Adrian Roper,from the National Federation of Retail Newsagents,said"delivering newspapers is a wonderful opportunity for children looking for a first job,because it is simple and safe,although the income may not be so high."But he added that new rules had made it more difficult for children to do this type of work,such as only being allowed to do one hour's work before school and not before 7am.
21.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the research?B
A.Children from other countries also participated in the research.
B.It was conducted by a researcher from the University of Sheffield.
C.It was conducted to study the amount of pocket money children have.
D.Those 3,200 children were studied based on their sources of pocket money.
22.We can infer from Paragraph 3 thatC.
A.parents should stop giving their children pocket money              
B.parents should not give their children too much pocket money
C.children will save more if they are given a bigger allowance        
D.children tend to spend all the money earned from part-time jobs
23.According to the last paragraph,in the UKC.
A.children aged 15 are forbidden to work          
B.children get no payment for acting in TV shows
C.it's against the rules for children to deliver newspapers at 6 am      
D.it's easier for children to deliver newspapers than before
24.The passage is mainly about the relationship betweenC.
A.children's study and their future
B.children's growth and their worries
C.children's pocket money and their saving behavior
D.children's pocket money and their parents'income.
