题目内容

Odiand remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver．The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman．

．Thirty years have passed, but Odiand can' t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman' s kind reaction．She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odiand, “It' s OK．It wasn' t your fault．" When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter．

Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, " I could buy this place and fire you," or "I know the owner and I could have you fired．" Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power．

The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson．He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson' s Unwritten Rules of Management．

"A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person," Swan-son says．" I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables．"

1．What happened after Odiand dropped the ice cream onto the woman' s dress?

A．He was fired． B．He was blamed．

C．The woman comforted him． D．The woman left the restaurant at once．

2．Odiand learned one of his life lessons from ______．

A．his experience as a waiter B．the advice given by the CEOs

C．an article in Fortune D．an interesting best-selling book

3．According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about _______．

A．Fortune 500 companies B．the Management Rules

C．Swanson' s book D．the Waiter Rule

4．From the text we can learn that _______．

A．one should be nicer to important people

B．CEOs often show their power before others

C．one should respect others no matter who they are

D．CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants

An allowance is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. Children remem??ber and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.

How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to re??gion, and from family to family.

To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. "If you make the child responsible for these ‘ ills’," says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, " he or she will learn to budget for nec??essary expenditures."

Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out.

It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Ste??phens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch." If you lose your money," Brooke’s mother told her, "you walk home."

One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. " Mom made me walk home," recalls Stephens, now a financial planner in Brook??lyn. " At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson. "

Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied di??rectly to a child’s daily chores. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative.

Which of the following is the possible title of the passage?

A. How to develop a child’s initiative.

C. How to teach a child to save money.

D. How to teach a child about money.
