The basic function of moneyBegin 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). 2When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.2. Money lessonsApproach money lessons with openness and honesty. 3If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, — You have enough toy trucks 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. 4Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands 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. 5If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved.

【题目】An interesting study posted on Facebook recently shows how men and women develop new interests as they mature(成熟).

While women tend to take exercise seriously from the age of 34, men will wait until their 45th birthdays before working hard to get in shape.

The average woman spends more time talking about sports, politics, career and money as she gets older.

Women’s interest in books reaches its peak(顶峰) at the age of 22, while that of men does so when they are in their 50s.

Men start to change their focus from the workplace to other things after age 30, while women do not do so until eight years later. Both, however, care most about fashion at age 16.

The research used anonymous(匿名的) data donated by thousands of Facebook users, recording the statuses, ‘likes’ and ‘interests’ they had posted on their profiles.

It found the average woman talks about television most at 44, while men peak much younger, at age 31.

Men are also most likely to see a film in a cinema at age 31, while women go out to see films most when they are only 19.

Men are most interested in travel at 29, women at 27, while women talk most about food and drink at 35, and men at 38.

And if you are middle aged, a safe topic for anyone is the weather, which is a key interest for many as they reach 60.

Stephen Wolfram, the British scientist who carried out the research, says, “It’s almost shocking how much this tells us about the changes of people’s typical interests.

“People talk less about video games as they get older, and more about politics.”

1When do women love books best?

A. At the age of 22. B. At the age of 50.

C. At the age of 30. D. At the age of 15.

2Men tend to ______ once they are 45.

A. gain more and more weight

B. be less interested in their jobs

C. do more exercise

D. pay more attention to their appearance

3What are men and women both interested in when they are 16?

A. Getting in shape.

B. Going to the cinema.

C. Popular style of clothing.

D. Food and drink.

4What does Stephen Wolfram think about the result of the research?

A. People’s interests are different from each other.

B. People’s interests change greatly with age.

C. It is normal for people to change their interests.

D. It is not good for people to change their interests.

Pearls of wisdom in Proverbs

Out of sight, out of mind. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.1. Each of the phrases mentioned above teachers a common truth. But what exactly is a proverb? It’s a short statement that contains a general truth. It is popularly known and often repeated.

Every culture has proverbs.2. For example, many cultures value old people for their wisdom and experience. This idea can be found in proverbs. A Chinese proverb says, “An old horse will never get lost.” And a Portuguese proverb states, “An old pan is the one that makes good food.”3. The English say, “Good and quickly seldom meet.” The Chinese say, “Think three times before you act.” A Russian proverb exclaims, “Take your thoughts to bed with you, for the morning is wiser.”

There is a saying: To truly know a people, learn their proverbs. Proverbs contain a culture’s values and morals.4. People in Saudi Arabia value books and learning. One of their proverbs says, “A book is a garden carried in the pocket.” The French say. “There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.” So that culture thinks that being honest is important. Egyptians know that value of friendship. One of their proverbs says, “Friendship doubles joy and halves grief.”

In Africa, many proverbs also use images familiar to Africans. For example, “The best way to cat an elephant in your path is cut him up into little pieces.”5Or “A roaring lion kills no game.” This means that one cannot achieve anything by sitting around and talking about it. One must get out and strive for it.

Learning proverbs in another language is fun. You can make a good impression with your language ability. But remember, proverbs are usually used in spoken language. They are rarely used in writing. If you use a lot of proverbs when you write, people will think you don’t have original thoughts

AWhat is your favorite proverb?

BHave your heard any of these proverbs before?

CMany culture also agree that acting in a hurry is not a good idea.

DAnd while some are special for one culture, there are common themes.

E. In other words, the best way to solve a problem is to work on it bit by bit.

F. There are also proverbs such as “get your ducks in a row.”

G. So you can learn what is valued in different cultures through their proverbs.

【题目】Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day.

【题目】One day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter(仲裁人). I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(气压计). ”The student had answered; "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”

The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read:“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula(公式)to calculate the height of the building.”

At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, "Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.”,

Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.

The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.

【1】The student got a zero at the beginning because _____.

A. the teacher wasn't satisfied with him

B. his answer wasn't complete or correct

C. the teacher didn't fully understand his answer

D. his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics

【2】We know from the passage that _____.

A. the student knew the expected answer

B. the administrator told Bohr the height

C. the author preferred Bohr's last answer

D. the teacher was a very stubborn person

【3】We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. instructors can teach students how to think

B. arbiters can help students to get high scores

C. students should be given more freedom in thinking

D. teachers should make students use physical formulas

【4】What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?

A. Optimistic B. Critical C. Approving D. Neutral
