Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. Parents often give their children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.

A child may receive an allowance each week or each month. The amount is not so important. But 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 they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be given.

Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.

Many people who have written on the subject 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 home, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.

Allowances give children a chance to experience three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.

Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you 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 free savings accounts for young people with small amounts of money.

1.The functions of allowances given to children are the following EXCEPT ______.

A. they can save more money for their future business

B. they can give them to charities

C. they may spend them on what they like

D. they can learn to deal with money

2.The underlined word "sacrifice" in the last paragraph means "_____".

A. 牺牲 B. 计划 C. 选择 D. 放弃

3.What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Children should save part of their allowance.

B. Don’t pay your child for work around the home.

C. Allowance helps teach children early about money.

D. Parents should allow children to spend money as they wish.

4.How many advantages of saving has the passage mentioned?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Children are advised to buy anything they wish to with the allowance.

B. Parents should offer children more money if they spend all of their allowance soon after they get it.

C. It can be useful to pay children to do extra work around the home.

D. It is unnecessary for the children to save part of the allowance.

Last April, on a visit to the new Mall of America near Minneapolis, I carried with me a small book provided for the reporters by the public relations office. It

included a variety of “fun facts” about the mall, for example, 140,000 hot dogs are sold each week, there are 10,000 full-time jobs, 44 sets of moving stairs and 17 lifts, 12,750 parking places, 13,000 tons of steel and $ 1 million is drawn weekly from 8 ATMs. Opened in the summer of 2005, the mall was built where the former Minneapolis Stadium had been. It was only a five-minute drive from the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport. With 4.2 million square feet of floor space ----- twenty-two times the size of the average American shopping center –the Mall of America was the largest shopping and family recreation center under one roof in the United States.

I know already that the Mall of America had been imagined by its designers, not only as a marketplace, but as a national tourist attaction. Eleven thousand articles, the small book informed me, had been written about the mall. Four hundred trees had been planted in its gardens, $ 625 million had been spent to build it, and 350 stores were already in business. Three thousand bus tours were expected each year along with a half-million Canadian visitors and 200,000 Japanese tourists. Sales are expected to be at $ 650 million for 2008 and at $ I billion for 2009. Pop singers and film stars such as Janet Jackson and Amold Schwarzenegger visited the mall. It was five times larger than Red Square and it included 2.3 miles of hallways and used almost twice as Knott’s Camp Snoopy.

60. We know from the text that the Mall of America is _________.

A.near an old stadium B.close to an airport

C.higher than the Eiffel Tower D.bigger than most American parks

61. Why are the pieces of information provided by the Mall of America referred to as “fun facts”?

A.They are largely imagined. B.They are surprising figures（数字）

C.They give exact descriptions. D.They make people feel uneasy.

62. Why does the author mention popular stars who have been to the mall?

A.To show its power of attraction.

B.To show that few rich people like to shop there.

C.To tell the public about a new movie being made about it.

D.To tell people that they have chances of meeting famous stars there.

63. We can infer from the text that _______.

A.Japanese visitors are most welcome to the mall

B.Canadian visitors would spend $ I billion at the mall

C.Knott’s Camp Snoopy was next to the Mall of America

D.the Mall of America was designed to serve more than one purpose（目的）
