【题目】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 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 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. 4

Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product—a namebrand butter and a generic(一般的),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 make another purchase with the money saved.

【题目】Do you like what’s on the menu in the cafeteria? In 2010, the government passed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. Since then, lunches have been a topic of debate.

The purpose of the act was to make school lunches more healthy. But critics say the government’s standards are too strict. Some students refuse to eat what is offered.

At one time, lawmakers considered a nutritious lunch essential to the good of the nation. At the end of the 1800s, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Boston, Massachusetts, were the first two cities to offer school lunches for students.

In the 1930s, the federal government became involved in school food programs. The government hoped to accomplish three goals. It wanted to help farmers earn money, give people jobs, and feed hungry children. By 1941, school meal programs operated in every state plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. More than 2 million lunches were served daily.

During World War Ⅱ, the number of school meals declines. So in 1946, Congress passed the National School Lunch Act. It said the health of the nation’s children was a matter of “national security.” The act guaranteed aid to states for “providing an adequate supply of food.”

In 1966, milk and breakfast programs were added. But in 1981, the government cut lunch spending by $1.5 billion. Gradually, profit-based businesses became more involved in providing school meals.

Those in favor of the current plan say it is working. Kids are getting more-nutritious meals. Still, the debate continues. The original role of school lunch was to ensure children are well-fed and healthy so they can grow, learn, and help the country. Surely we can all agree on that.
