【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Money Matters

Parents should help their children understand money. 【1】 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

1. The basic function of money

Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). 【2】 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex (复杂的) ways of using money.

2. Money lessons

Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 【3】 If you must say NO to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy cars for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”

3. 【4】

Begin at the grocery store(杂货店). Pick out two similar brands（商标） of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 【5】 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to buy another one with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for buying others.

A. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.

B. The value of money

C. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest

D. Permit the child to choose between them

E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you

F. Tell your child why he can or can’t have certain things

G. Wise decisions

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述了家长如何帮助孩子们理解有关金钱的问题，教给孩子怎样花钱，怎样做出选择。

【1】C 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下一句是讲让孩子了解钱的最好时机是当你的孩子对钱显示出兴趣比如买东西的时候，故E项“教孩子关于金钱的最好时机是当他表现出兴趣时”承上启下，故选C。

【2】A 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。孩子想买东西让他自己去交钱，借此让孩子了解钱的功能。F项“孩子在买玩具后告诉他怎样用钱买东西”与上文承接，故选A。

【3】F 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上句说：一定要开诚布公地给孩子们普及关于钱的功课。D项“告诉他们可以或不可以拥有某种东西的原因”承接上文。故选F。

【4】G 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下文内容可知，主要讲了怎样选择便宜的商品以便于省下更多的钱买其他的商品。A项“明智的选择”符合本段意思，故选G。

【5】D 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。此处讲教给孩子选择商品，D项“允许他们在这些之间选择”符合上下文。故选D。
