Question

【题目】阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）

Researchers from two universities at Chicago discovered 550 children, ages three to six, to learn about how money affects children. The result proved money makes children work harder, but it also makes them less giving.

To avoid raising a selfish generation, parents should talk to their children about money in the following ways according to the Money Advice Service.

Start young

With a five-year-old son or daughter, parents can start talking to them about different types of coins and let them pay for things when out shopping, so they get used to using money.

Open a savings account

Opening a savings account for your child is a great way to show them how their money can grow. It will also start to teach them the very basic ways to invest(投资) and save money.

Provide chances to earn money

Provide chances for your kids to earn money. Encourage them to work for it. From a young age, offer payment for “extra” work around the house and yard.

Make it step by step

Parents should introduce their child's education about money step by step.

If parents haven't spoken before about savings and how to use money, don't jump in with one long chat, as it will become boring with money grows.

Be consistent（坚持的）

Although most parents give their children pocket money, only 36% of parents say they do so regularly. Being irregular can actually make it harder for children to learn about using money.
