Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial (财务的) mistakes are not very costly.
How much money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish is quite different from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, 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 they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget (预算). Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget requires a choice between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your children for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do other 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 the three things they do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals sometimes need to give up something. You have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A saving account (账户) is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest (复利息).
Compounding works by paying interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will get two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot, but over time it adds up.

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
If you are reading this article in class, you are probably trying to read it quickly. You have been taught to skim and scan, to look for key words so as to understand the main idea and the important points in the article. Skimming and scanning is a good way when you are taking an exam. But, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading.
Now something called the “slow reading movement” has become popular. The idea is that people should shut off their computers and mobile phones for half an hour or forty-five minutes each day and enjoy the pleasures of reading a good book—slowly! In many cities there are even slow reading clubs where members go to a café, sit quietly, drink coffee and just read.
Researchers have found that reading slowly, helps people concentrate and relax. Reading, of course, isn't easy. You have to sit still, for one thing. And it can seem boring when compared to the excitement of playing video games. But, for me, reading has been an enduring pleasure in my life. From the age of ten, when I got my first library card, I’ve enjoyed thousands of interesting people I would have never met in real life. Reading helped me to understand the world around me. It was an education in a classroom that had no walls.
In your classroom, you have learned to read “fast”. Outside the classroom, you should try to learn to read “slow”. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it.

When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story went, one book was saved. It was not a valuable book, and so a poor man who could read very little bought it for a few coins. Between its pages there was something very interesting. It was a thin paper on which was written the secret of the touchstone!
The touchstone was a small pebble(卵石) that could turn any common metal into gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while common pebbles were cold.
So the man camped on the beach and began testing pebbles.
He thought that if he picked up common pebbles and put them down again, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea.
He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone.
The days became weeks and the weeks into months. One day, however, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.
So it is with chances. Unless we are careful, it’s easy to fail to catch a chance when it is at hand. And it’s just as easy to throw it away.

Qi Haoran is a Junior One student in Harbin. He was quite busy over the past winter vacation─ not just busy with his homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volu
nteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign.
The eleven students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” “Nearly 100 million people only earn about 865 yuan a year in China. They even cannot afford a cup of tea.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January this year. It calls on people to reduce food waste.
China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten up all the food.
Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many people. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner will give the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home. Cheng guangbiao , a very famous person not only wanted to rename himself Cheng guangpan, which means “Clean Your Plate”, but also took his staff to some restaurants to eat leftovers. More and more customers are willing to wrap up their leftovers to take home.
To reduce food waste is a big task and it needs time. It’s important for everyone to do their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?
