"How should I give my children pocket money?" is one of the most common questions asked by parents. "Should kids receive pocket money when they get high marks at school, or lose pocket money if they don’t help with the housework?" are also common questions.
Giving pocket money is an excellent way to develop children’s independence. Children should receive pocket money as their small share of the family wealth, and they should share in doing the housework as well.
Here are some ideas to help you use pocket money to develop your children’s independence.
Give pocket money regularly. Like adults, children should have a payday every week or two.
Link pocket money with ages and needs. Provide spending guidelines; don’t be afraid to let them know what you expect them to buy, and what not to. A child in preschool and lower primary school is sure to spend money on candies and other such things. But older children can be expected to buy their own lunches or bus tickets.
Teach kids to set their goals. Encouraging children to save money for big things like bikes can help them learn about planning ahead.
When given wisely, pocket money is an excellent way to develop children’s independence. But at some time, perhaps when a child turns fifteen, it needs to be reduced or eliminated in order to encourage the child to get a part-time job and begin to earn his own pocket money.
What is the author’s attitude towards giving children pocket money?
A.Positive. B.Indifferent(中立的
).
C.Negative. D.Worried.
小題2:According to the author, giving pocket money to children ______.
A.is an excellent way to encourage them to study hard
B.makes them learn to be more independent
C.makes their parents worry less about them
D.is a good way to make them do a lot of housework
小題3:When giving pocket money to children, parents should ______.
A.give them lots of money so that they can share the family wealth
B.give it to them at regular times
C.give every child the same amount
D.let them spend it as they please
小題4:What do we learn from the passage?
A.Only children who help do the housework should get pocket money.
B.Parents usually give more money to younger children.
C.Parents should let children spend money on their own when they have money
D.Children should find part-time jobs when they get old enough.

Today most Chinese teenagers are happy to be favored by two parents and four grandparents in their families. But have you ever thought about how to take care of four to twelve old people when you grow up and get married? This could be a problem for most Chinese youths as China is entering a new stage of an aging society.
An aging society refers to one where 10 percent or more of its population is over 60. By the end of 2007, Chinese over 60 years old have made up 11.7 percent of the nation’s total population. “China is getting old before becoming rich,”said Cai Chuang, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The population increase that has powered Chinese growth for three decades will give way over the next ten years to a rapid aging of the society. This will lead to weaker economic growth, because of a lack of labor resources.
As a result of the family planning policy, it is expected that the country’s total working population will decrease after 2015.
China is not the only country getting old. More that 60 countries have become aging societies and one in three people in the European Union is a senior citizen.
However, experts said that China doesn't have a highly developed social security network to support the old. Social security is an insurance program protecting those in need, including the old, the disabled and others.
小題1:An aging society is a society that _________. A.less that 10% of its population is over 60 B.10% or more of its population is over 60 C.there are four old people in a family D.most of its population is over 60
小題2:If China enters an aging society, __________. A.there will not be enough labor resources B.the family planning policy will be ended C.everyone needs to take care of four to twelve old people D.China will have a highly developed social security network
小題3:What does Cai Chuang mean by saying“China is getting old before becoming rich.”?A.China will be an aging society, then be a developed country. B.China will be a rich country before being an aging society. C.An aging society will affect Chinese economy development. D.China will stop developing because of its aging problem.
小題4:The passage mainly talks about .A.a(chǎn)n aging society B.Chinese social problem C.family panning policy D.a(chǎn)ging problem in China

Famous centenarians (百歲老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility: "It's down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others."
Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens.
Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation.
Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas: After a gallbladder (膽囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic.
Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role".
Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She's convinced that humans grow on challenges.
With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers.
小題1:From the first two paragraphs, we can see ______. A.being active at 102 is achievable for everybody B.Oliveira owes his long life to his mother’s help C.being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character D.social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior
小題2:How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage?A.4 B.5 C.6 D.7
小題3:By saying "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?” in Paragraph 5, Heesters shows us he ________.A.wants to sit or lie in comfort B.is waiting for people to pick him up C.is willing to work till he dies D.prefers to give performance at home
小題4:In the passage so many examples were given to show ________.A.old age is a big problem if you want to succeed B.a(chǎn)s a senior citizen, you have to be open-minded and optimistic C.old people should never think of themselves as old D.old age cannot prevent a great person from achieving a lot
小題5:In the writer’s opinion, the architect Oscar Niemeyer is not ________.A.intelligent B.pessimistic C.positive D.diligent

Young people and older people do not always agree with each other. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.
Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.
There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or painting. Others sit around and talk to sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.

If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship require effort and commitment(責(zé)任,義務(wù),承諾).
Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal (敘舊) with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.
Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!
Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could depend on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?
If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?
If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities(優(yōu)先考慮的事) in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?
If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material joys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say ‘‘No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?
Examine whether the way you are now spending your time exactly reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule enough time for the things that are truly most important to you.
If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.
小題1:In this passage the author mainly discusses ______.A.how to balance friendship and work B.how to spend our spare time C.whether we should keep friendship D.whether we should invite friends to dinner
小題2:What does the underlined word “delegated” probably mean?A.a(chǎn)ppointed (分派) B.replaced C.reduced D.handled
小題3:The reason why you have become too busy for friends may be the following except that ______.A.you spend too much time seeking material joys in your life B.you feel it difficult to keep friendship C.you stick to doing everything all by yourself D.you never refuse whatever other people ask you to do
小題4:Which would be the best title for the text?A.Too busy for Friendship? B.Too busy with work? C.How to Spend Your Time D.How to Make New Friends

“I never expected that I would be so busy. Why can’t there be 25 hours in a day?” complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid-term exams were going on.
The 18-year-old was Shandong Province’s top scorer in this year’s college entrance examination. After graduating from Tai’an No.1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong(香港中文大學(xué)) , although both Peking University and Tsinghua University promised her a place.
“I want to experience a more international school and social life in Hong Kong. I’m majoring in journalism, so Hong Kong will surely help widen my horizons,” Liu said.
It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning, because of the food and language problems.
“The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but it’s convenient to cook for ourselves in our dorm if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English,” Liu explained.
Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.
“I’m happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn,” she said.
Liu has 18 credit hours(學(xué)分) of classes every week and 23 non-credit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. Essays, book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare. And , of course, there are various parties to attend.
“I wasn’t a party animal before, but that may be interesting part of college. I sense myself changing,” Liu said.
小題1:Liu Ran chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong, because___________.A.she couldn’t be admitted to Peking University B.Hong Kong is a good place C.she wants to be far from her homeland D.the Chinese University of Hong Kong can widen her horizons
小題2: According to the last paragraph, we can infer______________________________. A.now Liu Ran is an animal B.Liu Ran hates the busy life in the Chinese University of Hong Kong C.Liu Ran likes the food there D.the busy and full life makes Liu Ran feel good
