 F 根据前一句Why do their parents just give them a certain amount?那么这一句应该是对此做出回答，故F项正确。

 B 根据下两句Some children get weekly pocket money． Others get monthly pocket money．说明有些人的零用钱是每个星期给的，有的人的零用钱是每个月给的。故B项，给零用钱的时间也要考虑。故B符合上下文。

 G 本段主要讲述的孩子花自己的零花钱的时间，要在合适的时间去花自己的钱， Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time说明G项符合上下文。

 C 根据上一句Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that．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。故C项符合上下文。
