Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the ‘wash up’. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.
　At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(減法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.
　Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month — the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.
　As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft(透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.”
　The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations. It does seem odd that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.
【小題1】The passage is mainly about _____________.

A．how to manage school lessonsB． teaching young people about money　
C．how to deal with the financial crisisD．teaching students how to study effectively
【小題2】It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that __________.
A．laws on financial education have been effectively carried out
B．pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract
C．students have been taught to manage their finances
D．the author complains about the school education
【小題3】The website and the consumer campaigner joined to _________.
A．instruct the pupils to donate their pocket money
B．promote the connection of schools and families
C．a(chǎn)sk the government to dismiss the parliament
D．a(chǎn)ppeal for the curriculum of financial education
【小題4】A poll is mentioned to ___________.
A．show the seriousness of the financial recession
B．stress the necessity of the curriculum reform
C．make the readers aware of burden of the parents
D．illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal

Welcome to my Message Board!
Subject Slimming down classics?
Mr.
Handsome

2007-5-12&24
AM
Orion Books,which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics(經(jīng)典著作)，is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L.Tolstoy,M.Mitchell and C.Bronte.Now,each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to   40  per cent of the original,with words,sentences,paragraphs and,in a few cases,chapters removed.The first six shortened editions,all priced at ￡6.99 and advertised as great reads “in half the time”,will go on sale next month,with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow.The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions.
Mr.
Edwards

2007-5-12
9:40 AM
Well,I’m publisher of Orion Group.Thanks for your attention,Mr.Handsome.
I must say,the idea developed from a game of “shame”in my office.Each of us was required to confess(承認)to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading.I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times.One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping(跳讀)Jane Eyre.We realised that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones.
As a leading publishing house,we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it’s not as if we’re withdrawing the original versions.They are still there if you want to read them.
Ms.Weir

2007-5-12
11:35 AM
I’m director of the online bookclub www.lovereading.co.uk.
Mr.Edwards,I think your shortened editions is a breath of fresh air.I’m guilty of never having read Anna Karenina,because it’s just so long.I’d much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book.I am looking forward to more shortened classics!
Mr.
Crockatt

2007-5-124:38 PM
I’m from the London independent bookshop Crockatt & Powell.
In my opinion,the practice is completely ridiculous.How can you edit the classics?I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work,and that is why you have to develop as a reader.If people don’t have time to read Anna Karenina,then fine.But don’t read a shortened version and kid yourself it’s the real thing.
【小題1】According to the message board,Orinon Books_______.
A．opposes the reading of original classics
B．is embarrassed for cutting down classics
C．thinks cut-down classics have a bright future
D．is cautious in its decision to cut down classics
【小題2】In Mr.Edwards’ opinion,Orion Group is shortening classics to_______.
A．make them easier to read
B．meet a large demand in the market
C．increase the sales of literary books
D．compete with their original versions
【小題3】By describing the shortened classics as “a breath of fresh air”,Ms.Weir_______.
A．speaks highly of the cut-down classics
B．shows gailty of the original classics
C．feels guilty of not reading the classics
D．disapproves of shortening the classics
【小題4】Mr.Crockatt seems to imply that_______.
A．reading the classic works is a confusing attempt
B．shortening the classics does harm to the original
C．publishing the cub-down classics is a difficult job
D．editing the classic works satisfies children’s needs

C
Fix it on your own
Did you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if you drop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what's wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad (geelsquad.co.uk) have made a gadget(小機件) rescue guide. So, let’s take a look at some of their useful advice.
● How to get more juice out of your phone battery（電池）
If your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warm it under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone – but use it quickly.
● What to do if your gadget gets wet
First, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner isn’t at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your we gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. Don’t forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it.
● What to do if your TV remote control stops working
If replacing the batteries doesn’t work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens(鏡頭). When you press a button on the remote, if it's working then the glass bobble(小球) at the front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (紅外線), even though your eyes don't. If the glass bobble doesn’t light up, the remote is broken. If it does, the receiving device is broken.
43．If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can         .
A．warm it up under your arm.       B．put it into the uncooked rice.
C．press it with both of your hands.    D．remove the battery after you dry it.
44．Why can a phone be used to prove the TV remote control works well?
A．Because it can receive infrared ray.
B．Because it can reflect infrared ray.
C．Because it can improve the TV remote control.
D．Because it can picture the TV remote control.
45．In which section of a newspaper can we possibly read this text?
A．Entertainment     B．Finance        C．Culture       D．Life
46．The purpose of the passage is to give people        .
A．professional guides     B．necessary warnings
C．practical tips              D．personal opinions
