【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述孩子们从父母那里得到零花钱，讲述孩子们处理他们的零花钱的三种方式以及对孩子们的好处。
97．句意：父母给他们的孩子多少零花钱取决于不同的家庭。名词“families”用形容词修饰，根据“How much pocket money parents give to their children”可知表达父母给孩子的零花钱因家庭不同而有差异，用形容词different。故填different。
98．句意：一些孩子每周得到零花钱，而另外的孩子每月得到零花钱。根据“ Some children”可知句子用“some…others…”表示“一些……另一些……”。空处填不定代词others，表示另一些孩子。故填others。
99．句意：通常，孩子们处理他们的零花钱有三种方式。介词“of”后接名词或动名词作宾语。根据“ with their money: they can…”可知表达的是处理钱的方式，用动词短语“do with”，空处填do的动名词形式doing。故填doing。
100．句意：他们可以用礼物的形式分享钱，可以买他们想要的东西来花钱。或者它们可以攒钱。根据“ they can share it in the form of gifts, they can spend it by buying things they want”及“they can save it”可知表达的是三种不同的处理钱的方式，是选择性的，用连词or表示“或者”。故填or。
101．句意：当他们年纪大一点，他们可能变得有点经验,为了他们大一点的目标去攒钱，比如衣服或者电子产品。根据“save money”及“their larger goals, like clothing or electronics”可知表达的是攒钱的原因，用介词for表示“为了”。故填for。
102．句意：因此省钱帮助孩子们明白:预算意味着花钱和节省之间的选择性。动词“means”后缺宾语，根据“between spending and saving”及“They have to think about whether they spend all the money at once or save some for the future plan”可知表达的是二者的选择性，用复数名词choices。故填choices。
103．句意：尽管这真的很难，但是大多数孩子也学会有计划的用钱。根据“ learn to use their money with a plan”前文讲述孩子们学会预算，句子讲述还学会了有计划的用钱，放在肯定句的句末表示“也”用副词too。故填too。
104．句意：如今，很多银行为孩子们提供服务，因此孩子们能从银行得到利息。句子缺谓语动词，句子是一般现在时。根据“services for children”可知表达“给某人提供某物”用“provide sth. for sb.”。故填provide。

105．句意：事实上，你可以做很多事情来改善你的记忆力。根据“A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, while a bad memory as something that cannot be changed.”和后文介绍可知，是提升、改善记忆的方法，可用improve表示，用于不定式结构中表示目的，故填improve。
106．句意：这就解释了为什么男生很容易记住足球比赛的结果，却很难记住历史课上的日期。此处与“struggle（挣扎）with dates from their history lessons”形成对比，表示轻易记住比赛结果，用于句中修饰动词remember，故填easily。
107．句意：让自己更感兴趣的一个方法是问问题——越多越好！根据“Develop an active interest in what you want to remember.”可知，对你想要记住的东西培养积极的兴趣，说话对象是“你”，此处表示“让自己对……感兴趣”，所以用其反身代词形式，故填yourself。
108．句意：短时间内记住东西的最好方法是把事情分成小块重复。根据“For example, remembering a phone number for a fewer seconds.”可知，记住几秒钟是短时记忆，故填short。
109．句意：但是，重复地把它们分成“组”或“块”看，它就会变得容易得多：149 217 8919 318 483。根据“Grouping numbers may help you to remember them.”可知，分组号码可以帮助你记住它们，此处与“chunks”构成并列，所以使用名词复数形式，故填groups。

119．句意：后来我发现，在日本文化中，把筷子插在饭里就意味着死亡！分析“Later, I discovered that leaving your chopsticks in your rice…death in Japanese culture!”可知，此处解释把筷子插在饭里的意思，可用mean表示，本句陈述客观事实，可用一般现在时表示，主语是“leaving your chopsticks in your rice”，所以用动词三单，故填means。
