The practice of taking a gap year developed in the UK in the 1960s．During a gap year，a student might travel，take part in volunteer work overseas or undertake a working holiday abroad．
In 1978，the Prince of Wales John Blashford-Snell began a gap year voyage around the world．In the United Stares，the gap year idea was promoted by Cornelius H．Bull in 1980．
In recent years，the gap year has grown very popular among students in the UK，Australia，New Zealand and Canada．A trend for gap years is to participate in international education programs that combine language study，homestays，community service，and independent study．

14．Shanghai Children Prove Money Smarts
Shanghai，the financial center of China，sure has raised some money-savvy children．
Ninety-two percent of Shanghai primary school students who took a recent test of their money smarts showed an understanding of financial management，and some even knew a thing or two about stocks （股票） and debts．
The FQ，or Financial Quotient test was conducted on Wednesday at three primary schools．It was designed to measure the students'ability to handle money，their understanding of spending and saving，and their knowledge of family finances and investment （投资）．
One 8-year-old could identify six ways to make money-including investing in the stock and real estate （房地产） markets，selling old toys and getting good grades，said Xu Ting，head of the FQ Lab at Ant Fortune，the mobile financing platform of Alibaba Group Holding．
The students scored 73percent on average，surpassing the organizer's expectations about what children might be expected to understand about money management，Xu said．Twenty-six percent of the 200test takers，who were aged 8to 11，scored over 80points，and only 8percent notched under 60．
Asked about managing a New Year's money gift，61percent of the students said they would deposit the money in the bank，while 31percent said they would give it to their parents for investment．One student said he would lend the money to relatives to buy property-and charge interest．
Not all of the students who were tested had received financial education，although it is studied at the primary school affiliated （附属的） with the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology．Money education there is made into classes to teach students responsibility，teacher Xue Lei said．
"It's mostly to help the students to manage their pocket money，"Xue said．
Lao Kaisheng，a professor of education at Capital Normal University，shrugged off （耸肩表示蔑视） the test as more commercial than scientific．But it's clear that modern parents are conscious of money management and want their children to spend-and save-wisely．

A．Shanghai students pay off their own debts

7．I was thirteen when my father got hurt．Looking back over the years，I sometimes wonder what I could have done differently that day．Spit twice over my shoulder when I saw the single magpie （喜鹊），maybe．But that's the thing about superstitions （迷信）．You don't know how much power they have until you break them．
We lived in a dark shabby house in Bucks．Wood blocks laid over dirt on the floor．That part of England was full of cherry trees．Chalky soil．
The rice had caught in the bottom of the pot that morning at breakfast and all I could smell was burned rice．Even now when I think of that day I have the taste of burned rice in my mouth．
"I'm going to cut down the old cherry tree，"my father announced．
"You've been saying that for years，"said my mother lightly touching the end of her nose． Her nose ran all year long．Her arms rested on the table，a cup of tea placed between her hands，steam rising into the air．"You'll never get round to it．"
My stomach，balled into a tight little knot （结） relaxed itself．
"Millie's going to cry if you cut it down，"said my younger brother，Simon，his eyes bright as a fox．"Silly Millie，silly Millie．"
"Hold your noise，"said my father patting Simon on the head．"And put back that butter．That's a week's ration（限额） you've got on your plate．"
"The war's over，"said Simon in a low voice．"We haven't had rationing for ages．"Simon was right．Even sugar had come off points．However，we still occasionally received food parcels from distant cousins in Canada．
My father glared at him and then went on．
"Pigs．Burt says he'll come and help me take the tree down if he can have some of the wood．"
"No，"I said springing to my feet．"You can't do it．That's my tree．Always has been． Always will be．I won't let you．"
Tom，took a piece of toast，watching my reaction．My older brother，he knew what the tree meant to me．
"Now then，Millie，"said my father softening his face．"That tree's wild．It's in the way．"

4．At the top of a three-story brick building，Sue and Johnsy had their studio．One of the girls was from Maine； the other from California．They had met in an Eighth Street restaurant，and found their tastes in art，chicory salad and bishop sleeves so much in tune that the joint studio resulted．That was in May．
    In November，a cold，unseen stranger，whom the doctors called"pneumonia"，stalked about the district，touching one here and there with his icy fingers．Johnsy was among his victims．
    One morning the busy doctor invited Sue into the hallway with a bushy，gray eyebrow．
"She has one chance in ten，"he said．"And that chance is for her to want to live．Your little lady has made up her mind that she's not going to get well．Has she anything on her mind？"
"She wanted to paint the Bay of Naples some day，"said Sue．
"Paint？Bosh!Has she anything on her mind worth thinking about twice？A man，for instance？"
"No，doctor； there is nothing of the kind．"
"Well，"said the doctor．"I will do all that science can accomplish．But whenever my patient begins to count the carriage in her funeral procession，I subtract 50 per cent from the power of medicines．"After the doctor had gone，Sue cried．
Johnsy lay，scarcely making a movement under the bedclothes，with her face toward the window．She was looking out and counting-counting backward．
"Twelve，"she said，and a little later"eleven，"and then"ten，"and"nine，"and then"eight，'and"seven，"almost together．
    Sue looked out of the window．What was there to count？There was only a bare，dreary yard to be seen，and an old，old ivy vine climbed half way up the brick wall of the brick house．The cold breath of autumn had blown away its leaves，leaving it almost bare．
"Six，'said Johnsy，in almost a whisper．"They're falling faster now．Three days ago there were almost a hundred．It made my head ache to count them．But now it's easy．There goes another one．There are only five left now．"
"Five what，dear？"
"Leaves，on the ivy vine．When the last one falls I must go，too．I've known that for three days．Didn't the doctor tell you？"
"Oh，I've never heard of such nonsense．Don't be so silly．Why，the doctor told me this morning that your chances for getting well soon were ten to one!Try to take some soup now，and let Sue go and buy pork chops for her sick child．"
