EAT YOUR VEGETABLES. Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you ".We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:
Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000,invest(投资)it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she's 65,she would have $980,983!zxxk
Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.
Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.
Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. "For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot, "says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.
Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined(缠结在一起), says  Eilleen  Gallo, co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don't want to buy it. "You might say, 'I'd rather save that money for your education,'" advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money, you have a chance to share your values.
【小题1】The writer gives some basics to help ____ in a proper way.

A.parents teach their children how to deal with money
B.children follow their parents 'instructions
C.children manage their money
D.parents save their money
【小题2】The underlined word "incentive" in paragraph 6 means ____.

  We are going on a long train journey.Out of the windows, we can see cars running on nearby highways, children waving at a crossing, cattle grazing on a distant hillside, smoke pouring from factories, village houses and city skylines.

  But   1   in our minds is the final destination.On a certain day at a certain hour, we will   2   into the station.Bands will be playing and flags   3  .Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will   4   and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a(n)   5   jigsaw puzzle(拼图).How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道), damning(咒骂)the minutes for waiting, waiting for the station.

  “When we reach the   6  , that will be it!” We cry.“When I   7   18.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!” “When I put the   8   kid through college.” “When I have   9   off the debts!” “When I get a promotion.” When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live   10   ever after!”

    11  , we come to realize that there is no such station as we arrive at once and for all.The   12   joy of life is the trip.The station is only a dream.It   13   leaves us behind.

  “Cherish the moment “is a good   14  .It is the burdens of today that drive us to keep on   15  .And it is the regrets over yesterday that motivate us to overcome the   16   and look forward to the future.

  So   17   pacing the aisles and counting the miles.  18  , climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more   19   swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less.Life must be lived   20   we go along.The station will come soon enough.

  “Calling tower,” the pilot's voice crackled.“This is all emergency!” The radio operator in the control tower looked at his watch.It was 3:15 p.m Lieutenant Charles Taylor and five Navy bombers were in trouble:“We are off course.We cannot see land…repeat…we cannot see land.''

  Taylor had over 2, 500 hours of flight time.What Was happening?

  The tower called back:“Assume bearing(方位)due west.”“We don't know which way is west, ”Taylor replied.“Everything is wrong…strange … we cannot be sure of any direction…Even the ocean looks odd…”the radio operator told Taylor to fly north “With the sun on the left” until he reached a Naval Air Station.Anyone could find the sun, especially a good pilot like Taylor.Soon the radio crackled again."We have just over a small island,” said the pilot.“No other land in sight.”That was the last message Flight l9 sent to the radio tower.Five Navy bombers were lost.They had left the Naval Air Station for a routine training flight at 2∶00 p, m., December 5, 1945.Each plane had enough fuel to fly more than a thousand miles.The weather was sunny and mild.Pilots from other flights had not seen anything strange there.So what happened?

  Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.”

  How   1   they were!Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into   2   and strangers into friends.

  “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.It is the paste that helps you   3   there when the situation gets tough.It is the inner voice that   4   “I can do it” when others shout, “No, you can’t do it.”

  It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be   5   accepted.Yet she didn’t stop doing her experiments.Work was such a deep   6   for her that she never thought of stopping.

  We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic   7  -as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the hurrying of a beetle.

  It is this   8   wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.At 90, cellist(大提琴演奏家)Pablo Casals would start his day by   9   Bach.As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulder would straighten and joy would   10   in his eyes.Music, for Casals, was what made life a never   11   adventure.As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, “Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the   12  .”

  We cannot afford to waste   13   on “might-have-beens”.Just as the saying goes, it’s no use crying over spilt milk.We need to live each moment   14  , with all our senses-finding pleasure in the fragrance of a backyard garden, the crayoned picture by a six-year-old, or the charming beauty of a rainbow.It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes and   15   the wrinkles from our souls.
