14.(10分)Parents and children often face the challenges of money.Common topics include setting pocket money,learning to save,and deciding to buy expensive things.The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to deal with money wisely.The goal of most kids is getting money to spend.How can families achieve these goals?
The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids make some money.Their son,Ryan,17,has been watering in the garden since he was 8.He owned his own tools with the help of his parents.Now he has saved $7,800.Besides,he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system.And he is going to buy a car next year.
Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult.David Brady manages a company toward children and young adults. "They shouldn't be always thinking of spending money." Brady warns."Instead,they should understand basic rules for making money,saving money,and managing money."
That knowledge is greatly needed.Over the past ten years,most Americans aged 18 to 24 borrowed nearly $3,000 on credit card(信用卡).Among high school seniors,four out of five have never taken a class about money.
Giselle Lopez,17,of New York City,learned the hard way.She owed(欠) $2,000 on her first credit card.Her parents refused to pay,so Giselle got a job.Then she paid the money off slowly by herself. "Now every time I use money,I know that it comes from my own pocket, "Giselle says. "That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions. " Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money.Teaching them how to use money doesn't have to mean setting strict rules.When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider,they can learn to set those rules themselves.
(1)What is the goal of most parents about money?
A.To set kids' pocket money.
B.To get money to spend.

15.(10分)New York City is home to some of the tallest buildings on Earth.Recently,a new skyscraper joined them.This time it's the thinnest in the world.
After years of development,Steinway Tower is now complete(完成的).The height of the building is 435 meters.But it's just 18 meters wide.The width﹣to﹣height ratio(比例)is 1:24.That makes the building look very thin,like a chopstick sticking up(竖起)from the ground.For context(供参考),CITIC Tower,known as China Zun Tower in Beijing,stands at 528 meters,but is 84 meters wide.
Secret superpower
You don't need to worry that the building may break in half during a storm.According to SHoP Architects,the designer(设计者)of the building,it was made with the world's strongest concrete(混凝土).However,the building may still move in strong winds.That would cause loud noises,and people inside may feel dizzy(晕眩的).
Many modern tall buildings have a secret tool inside to help them stand still.It's called a damper(风阻尼器),usually a huge steel(钢的)ball that weighs hundreds of tons.For example,the Steinway Tower has a damper of 800 tons.It swings(摇荡)back and forth inside the building to balance(平衡)the force of the wind.
Why is taller better?
There are many people living and working in New York City.Land there is very expensive.Skyscrapers are a great choice for saving land.Meanwhile,designers wanted to make the Steinway Tower a landmark(地标).Part of the building is the 96﹣year﹣old historic site of Steinway Hall.It was famous for concerts in the 20th century.The special design of the skyscraper may help people remember the past glory(辉煌)of Steinway Hall.
(1)What do we know about the Steinway Tower?
A.It is the world's tallest building.
B.No other building is as thin as it.
C.The building work started this year.
(2)What would make people feel dizzy?
A.The sounds of strong wind.
B.The breaking of the building.
C.The swinging of the building.
(3)What helps the Steinway Tower protect itself from wind?
A.Swinging slowly in the wind.
B.Having a big steel ball inside.
C.Standing near other tall buildings.
(4)Why do people build skyscrapers in New York City?
A.To save land.
B.To show off their skills.
C.To welcome more people.
(5)What can we learn about the design of the Steinway Tower?
