Children’s allowance. Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(零用錢). The purpose is to let them learn from experience at an age when financial (財政的;財務(wù)的;金融的)mistakes are not very costly.

In any case, parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If so, they’ll learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget(預(yù)算). Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. It is to show them that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.

Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.

Allowances give children a chance to experience what they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or give it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: They have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children learn about personal finance.

1.Giving children an allowance can mostly help them ______.

A. cut their living costs

B. learn to plan for the future

C. earn a living when young

D. get some financial knowledge

2.By receiving an allowance, children can learn ______.

A. how to spend money from experience

B. when to avoid making mistakes

C. what they should do next at a young age

D. what they can do with money earned

3.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Allowance, a great way to educate children

B. Allowance, a costly burden for children

C. Give allowances to children at once

D. Develop children’s allowances

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend (易于) to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.

According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed (擠出) between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.

After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.

In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity - or extreme overweight - among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject (拒絕) older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% - and is growing.

1.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?

A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.

B. They regard eating as a key part of their life style.

C. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.

D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.

2.This text is mainly about the relationship between ______.

A. children and adults B. Americans and the French

C. life style and obesity D. fast food and overweight

3.Where does this text probably come from?

A. A health report B. A book review

C. A TV interview D. A food advertisement

The flying car has been talked about for many years, but now it appears to become a reality.

An international company has built a two-seater plane that, at the touch of a button, transforms into a car perfectly suitable for driving on public roads. It takes 15 seconds to switch between flying and driving. With its wings fully open and the propeller(螺旋槳) spinning, it can take off from any airfield.

Flying cars are quicker than traditional ones, and they can run on ordinary fuel. Another big advantage is that they are cool, like something you would see in an action film. At the moment, however, the flying car’s wheels are illegal to leave the ground. That is not because of technical reasons or problems with the design. It is because the various road and aircraft authorities simply cannot agree on whether it is a car or a plane.

Nevertheless the company hopes to produce and deliver its first flying car soon. The company already has orders for 40 of them. The majority potential customers are older and some are retired. There have even been orders from some people who have no pilot’s license.

The flying car will cost around $ 200,000. “For an airplane, that’s a very reasonable price, but for a car, it’s quite expensive,” explains Alan. “But it just is not possible to make a $ 10,000 flying car yet.”

This latest means of transport will not become a mass-market item in the near future, but in the long term it has the potential to change the way you travel. It will become no more expensive than driving your car on the motorway. Travel time could be reduced by more than half.

So the next time you are told to fasten your seat belt, it may be to prepare for take-off.

1.We know from the passage that the flying car .

A. has to run on special fuel

B. will replace traditional planes

C. is popular with the rich

D. can shift between two forms

2.The flying car is presently forbidden to take off because .

A. many people think driving is not very safe

B. it’s hard to decide whether it’s a car or a plane

C. the government and the authorities accept it

D. there are still some technical problems to be solved

3.According to the passage, we can learn .

A. in the future few people will be able to afford a flying ear

B. owning two kinds of driving licenses is of great importance

C. because of the appearance of the flying car, traffic jams will disappear

D. flying cars may share the market in the future

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Your Car Is Ready for Take-off

B. Flying Car Will Be the Leading Means of Transportation

C. Affording a Flying Car Is a Necessity

D. The Advantages of Flying Cars
