The Loss of Innocence

Innocence is such a precious gift.It’s explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing.Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt free mind.Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood.

What would the world be like if innocence were never lost?One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred (仇恨)among the world.During youth,there may be an occasional argument,even a little physical fight,but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being.And children are blind towards the racial differences of others.A kid will hang out with any other kid.It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise.Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure.With very little if any time at all for fun,the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults.If innocence were kept alive,these ambitions would never depart from our lives.

However,other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting forever.They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general.A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn,work,and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive.Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence,people would not have the desire to succeed,get a good job in life,or provide income for their families,which would hurt the lives of children.

The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy.As long as innocence is kept alive,no one would be terribly angered at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace,resulting in a strong decline in production and quality of needed goods.

Maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocence.It sure is a nice thought,though.Perhaps innocence was meant to be lost.It was god’s will to make things the way they are,and there is a good purpose for everything.All that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts.

1.The author believes that the loss of innocence in adulthood should be _______.

A.avoided

B.condemned

C.accepted

D.inspired

2.Lifelong innocence would be beneficial to society in that _______.

A.proper education would be provided

C.more happy families would be guaranteed

A.motivational will

C.adventurous ambitions

D.needed goods

Children’s allowance. Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(零用钱). The purpose is to let them learn from experience at an age when financial (财政的;财务的;金融的)mistakes are not very costly.

In any case, parents should make clear what 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 so, they’ll 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. It is to show them that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.

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 what they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or give it 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: They 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 learn about personal finance.

1.Giving children an allowance can mostly help them ______.

A. cut their living costs

B. learn to plan for the future

C. earn a living when young

D. get some financial knowledge

2.By receiving an allowance, children can learn ______.

A. how to spend money from experience

B. when to avoid making mistakes

C. what they should do next at a young age

D. what they can do with money earned

3.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Allowance, a great way to educate children

B. Allowance, a costly burden for children

C. Give allowances to children at once

D. Develop children’s allowances
