Ways to Teach Kids How to Manage Money
As adults, we've had a lifetime to learn how to manage our money. Finance may seem like a grown-up concept.　1． 　 Here are ways to teach kids how to budget (预算) and value a dollar.
Firstly, help children understand that everything costs money. Your children need to know the value of their money compared to the value of the things they'd like to buy. When they want a new toy, point out the cost and remind them how much they have to spend.　2． 　 Take the money from their jar, bring it to the store, and hand it to the cashier. They'll clearly see their amount of money shrink, though they'll get a toy in return.
As your kids decide how to spend money, teach them to start from something important. If they spend all their savings on one item, they won't have the money to spend on other things they might want. Because they don't have enough money to buy everything they'd like, they need to figure out what's most important to them.
In addition, show them how to shop smart.　3． 　 From buying products to doing cost comparisons, adults try to make their budgets stretch as far as possible — and you can teach your kids to do the same with their money. If your children want to buy a new toy, help them check the price at Target Toys at different stores.
　4． 　 Your kids watch what you do, so practice the same smart financial habits you're teaching them. It gives them context for the choices they see you making. One way to teach your children about finance is to involve them in your own financial decisions. For example, if you tell them you can't afford something they want, then turn around and buy a new television, which sends mixed signals. But if they know you've been saving up for a new television — that the entire family can enjoy — they're more likely to understand.
A. While everything costs money, some options cost less.
B. You should give your kids sufficient money to manage.
C Finally, adults should try to set a good financial example for kids.
D. When children get cash of their own, they need to decide how to spend it.
E. When they're buying something with their money, make the process visual.
F. However, it's never too early to start teaching your children about managing money.
G. Parents are the mirror of their kids.

More Clarity Needed on Wage Debate
These days, the minimum wage has become something of a big issue in America. 　1． 　For supporters. 16. 5 million low-wage workers could see an increase in their weekly earnings and 900, 000 people could rise above the poverty line.
Gap Inc, has decided to increase the minimum hourly rate it pays employees to $9 this year and then $10 next year. The company's announcement will effect 65, 000 Gap employees by 2017. Clearly Gap officials believe the money they invest in higher wages will pay off in increased sales and customer satisfaction. There's certainly nothing wrong with that. 　2． 　
Also last week, Wal-Mart found itself at the center of the wages gossip when it was reported that the company was looking at supporting an increase in the minimum wage. 　3． 　
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said the company remains neutral on the idea of a minimum wage increase, but "obviously it's something that we look at closely, as any other company would". She said that more than 99 percent of company associates are paid above the current minimum wage. It has been discussed how increased income for low-wage workers might translate into increased spending. So it's reasonable to say that a company like Wal-Mart could see a jump in sales if the minimum wage rose.
　4． 　
"That is assuming that consumer behavior would be, 'If they have more money, they'll spend more money," she said. "That isn't always necessarily true. 5. _________ But you just can't. "
A. That turned out to be not exactly correct. B. But Buchanan warned against such an assumption. C. But a number of business organizations say it should remain untouched. D. But what works for a clothing company might not work for a different one. E. Raising the minimum wage is identified as a key way to address the income gap. F. For opponents a wage increase, increasing the minimum wage could reduce total employment by about 500, 000 jobs. G. If we had a crystal ball, we could guess what consumer behavior would be in the future if a minimum wage increase goes through.

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Throughout the centuries, pink has assumed a range of guises (表现形式). The way it is sensed by society has also changed over the years.
In the West, pink first became fashionable in the mid-1700s, when European aristocrats (贵族) were dressed in pink as a symbol of class. Madame de Pompadour loved the color so much that, in 1757, French porcelain manufacturer Sevres named its new shade of pink "Rose Pompadour" after her.
Pink was not then considered a girls' color — infants of both genders were dressed in white. 　1． 　The color's more recent association with femininity (女性气质) started around the mid-19th century, according to Valerie Steele, editor of the book Pink: The History of a Punk, Pretty, Powerful Color. She explained, "Men in the Western world increasingly wore dark colors, leaving brighter options to females 　2． 　"
By the turn of the century, pink had entered the mainstream — and its status shifted in the process. The advent of industrialization and mass production led to comparatively cheap dyes (染料). Pink went from luxury to working class.
Its guises continued to change throughout the 1900s. 　3． 　 By the 1950s, pink had become more gender-coded than ever. The branding and marketing in post-war America that used it as a symbol of super-femininity, strengthened a "pink for girls, blue for boys" stereotype.
Pink did not regain its popularity until the 1960s, when public figures such as Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe adopted it as a mark of luxury. In more recent decades, pink has also been accepted as a color of protest and awareness for various communities. For example, _ 4.__________

C. Pink was regarded as simple, because of its association with women, who have been traditionally looked down upon.

第五篇
1.__________ The increase in the exchange of knowledge, trade and capital around the world, driven by technological innovation, brought the term into the spotlight.
Some see globalization as a good thing. The United Nations has even predicted that its forces may have the power to eliminate poverty in the 21st century. Others disagree. They may have a point. The International Monetary Fund admitted in 2007 that inequality levels might have risen as a result of foreign capital (资本) investment in developing countries.
However, economic historians suggest that the question of whether the benefits of globalization outweigh the disadvantages is more complicated. 　1． 　 But why does it matter whether globalization started 30,300, or even 3,000 years ago Because it is impossible to say how much of a "good thing" a process is in history without first defining for how long it has been going on.
Although Adam Smith, known as the Father of Economics, never used the word, globalization is a key theme in The Wealth of Nations (《国富论》) , his most important work that remains a classic in economics today. His description of economic development has as its basic principle the integration (融合) of markets over time. As the division of labor enables output to expand, the search lor specialization expands trade.　2． 　
The trend is nearly as old as civilization. Primitive (原始的) divisions of labor, between hunters and shepherds, grew as villages and trading networks expanded to include wider specializations. Eventually, armorers (军械工) to craft bows and arrows, carpenters to build houses, and seamstress to make clothing, all appeared as specialist artisans. They traded their wares for food produced by the hunters and shepherds. 　3． 　
This process that Smith described sounds a lot like "globalization" even if it was more limited in geographical area than what most people believe the term suggests today.
Globalization has not always been a one-way process. Evidence shows that (here was also "deglobalization" in history, like during the interwar (两次世界大战之间的) period in the 20th century.
　4． 　 It has a history that stretches back for thousands of years, starting with Smith's primitive hunter-gatherers trading with the next village, and developing into the globally interconnected societies we know today. Whether you consider globalization to be a "good thing," it appears to be an essential element of the economic history of mankind.
A. This gradually brings communities from different parts of the world together.
B. However, it is clear that globalization is not simply a process that started in the last three decades.
C. For them, the answer depends on when you believe the process of globalization was effectively started.
D. Globalization has enriched the world scientifically and culturally, and has benefitted many people economically as well.
E. Some modem economic historians dispute the argument that the discovery of the Americas accelerated the process of globalization.
F. As villages, towns, countries and continents started trading goods that they were efficient at making for ones they were not. Markets became more integrated.
G. "Globalization" has been a buzzword of the last three decades.
第六篇
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we're frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.1.

Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Then life would begin.3.　 　"
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness.4.　 　So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you share it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with...and remember that time waits for no one.
So, stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you retire, until you get married, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until you're off welfare, ...until you die, until you're born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.

Despite the benefits, the Royal Horticultural Society is deeply concerned that the houseplants might not be good for the environment. 4.　 　 These foreign plants might be very harmful to our environment. It is also worried about the plastic pots that hold the plants and the type of peat (泥炭) that the plants are grown in.

第八篇
Besides being fun, well-managed festivals and events offer a host of economic and social benefits to communities. 1.　 　 There are risks and costs related to the effort.
Festivals attract visitors and boost the economy. 2.　 　 On-site spending includes admission fees, parking fees, food, beverage and souvenir sales — and more. But off-site spending related to festivals brings income for communities, too. For example, visitors stop at local gas stations, souvenir shops, and restaurants — the list goes on. Festivals also provide free marketing and advertising for local businesses as visitors talk about their fun experiences when they go back home. If visitors post comments and photos about their experiences on Facebook or other social media, so much the better. The economic benefits of successful festivals affect local tourism and non-tourism-related businesses alike.
3.　 　 Planning and conducting festivals involves many members of the community, which produces a number of social benefits. “The best thing about being involved with festivals and events is the opportunity to help build a community, develop a sense of pride within a community, and engage a community,” says Chris Romano, a business consultant with Thrivent Financial Services. “Honestly, in my professional career, I've never found something outside a community festival that can do that to the same degree.” Experts agree that hometown pride is a critical factor in the development and improvement of any community. People with community pride are more likely to speak positively about their town to others and to volunteer with organizations and activities that support the common good.
Festivals will teach visitors new things. Whatever a festival's theme, it's bound to be instructional and visitors are bound to learn from it. Of course, education is another social benefit of festivals.

G. This educational experience helped visitors connect to the area,

"It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar," says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have diabetes. Why "　2． 　" says Johnson.
