五、阅读短文,回答问题。
My mum was (and still is) a fast-food cook. My dad worked in a factory. When I was a little girl, my sister and I saw them come home very tired night after night. We knew how hard they worked and we appreciated (感激) everything we received.
On the other hand, my kids see me work at the computer in the comfortable home. We live in a town where most children get pretty much everything they want. Heartfelt thanks are few. So how do we make sure the kids understand the value (价值) of all that they have
◆ It’s important to explain (解释) to them why you can’t buy expensive presents. Today’s newspapers and TV programs seem to be calling on children to ask for everything, so it helps to discuss what’s really possible and what’s not.
◆ It’s also necessary to show them not all presents come from a shop. For example, next holiday they can make cakes for all their friends and decorate the boxes themselves.
◆ Give older children chances to serve in kitchens, tell them about people who have nothing on cold wet nights and tell them about parts of the world where food cannot be found.
◆ Encourage (鼓励)them to give some of their pocket money to others. Give away unwanted clothes and toys to those who need them.
◆ Set time to have them write down things they are thankful for. Then they will know all they have. And teach them to say thank you for any present they receive.
◆ In the end, the most important thing is you should do everything you ask your kids to do.

2. Who is the passage written for
