Many children first learn the value of money by planning the use of an allowance (零用錢(qián)). The purpose of it is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend differs from one family to another. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make it clear what their child expects to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowances soon after they receive them. If they do this, they will 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.
The object is to show young people that budgeting means making choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible (有責(zé)任感的) enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Sometimes paying children to do extra work around the house can be useful.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or use it to do good things; they can spend it by buying things they want; or they can save it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice (舍棄) — 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 finances.
For example, one dollar invested at two percent interest (利息) for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.

You finish a workout and feel great. Then you get up the next morning and your exercised muscles feel sore. You find it hard to lift your arms and brush your teeth, or bend down to pick up a book. What has happened?
Scientists call this soreness 24 to 48 hours after your exercise “delayed onset (延遲發(fā)作) of muscle soreness”, or DOMS. It is caused by microscopic damage to muscle fibers, which releases chemicals. The chemicals irritate (刺激) nerve fibers and cause pain.
Muscle soreness is a good sign. It means that you have challenged your muscles and are getting stronger. Everyone experiences it, even the best athletes. But it can be avoided by using the right exercise methods. Here are some tips:
* Warm up before you work out. This is helpful to avoid muscle soreness, but more importantly to avoid injury. It starts circulation to the muscles and warms the muscles and tendons, getting them ready for exercise.
* Stretch after your workout. After exercising, make sure you stretch your muscles for 15 to 20 seconds before they cool down. They will be warm and elastic (彈性的) so they will stretch well.
* Don’t do too much too soon. Whether it’s jogging, running, whatever workout routine you are starting, just do half of the exercise volume the first week to introduce your muscles to the exercises.
If you are already feeling muscles soreness, here are some ways to help relieve it.
* Get a massage (按摩). Lightly massage the sore muscle and gradually increase the depth of the massage. It might be painful in the beginning but it will gradually ease the muscle soreness.
* Take a hot bath. Nothing beats a long soak in a hot bath for muscle soreness. The heat will increase circulation and provide a soothing (舒緩) effect.
* Flush your muscles. Run hot (as hot as you can bear) water over the sore muscles for two minutes and then immediately switch to cold water for 30 seconds. Repeat this process five times. This has the effect of opening and closing your blood vessels (血管). It will flush the acid (酸物質(zhì)) from them and ease the soreness.
* Exercise gently. Go for a slow walk and breathe deeply. This helps reduce muscle soreness by increasing blood flow to the sore muscles.
72. What is the purpose of this article?
A. To tell readers to exercise more for fitness.
B. To warn readers of the side effects of exercise.

73. The article suggests that before exercise we should ______.
A. stretch our muscles                   B. have a massage
C. have a hot shower                   D. warm up our muscles
74. From this article we can conclude that muscle soreness is caused by ______.
A. damaged muscle fibers               B. damaged nerve fibers
C. a bad circulation to the muscles        D. exercise injuries
75. Judging from the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Only beginners get muscle soreness.
B. Muscle soreness means you have physical problems and should stop exercising.
C. Muscle soreness is a good sign because it means that the muscles are getting stronger.
