B
Students all around the world think it great to have some money in their pockets. But how much do they get
American Kids and Pocket Money
In the US, a little pre － school( 学龄前的 ) kid may get a dollar or two, but older children get more. A lot of American parents give pocket money to their children, but their children have to do chores.
Most American children think making pocket money will help them to understand money better. An American boy Jacob said, “I get $40 every month. I put half of them in the bank and spend the remaining money on new things that I need.”
British Kids and Pocket Money
In Britain, kids in primary school get 4 or 5 pounds each week. When they enter middle school, they get about 9 pounds. Also, British boys get a little more pocket money than girls.
Like kids in the US, British children do chores to get their pocket money. That's why British children know a lot about spending money.7% of them spend less than ￡ 1 each week, 73% spend between ￡ 1 and ￡ 5 each week, and 20% spend over ￡ 5 each week. Most of them spend money on sweets, crisps( 薯片 ) and chocolate.
6. Jacob puts________ in the bank every month.
A. 10 dollars B. 20 dollars
C. 30 dollars D. 40 dollars
7. In Britain, most kids spend________ every week.
A. less than ￡ 1
B. between ￡ 1 and ￡ 5
C. between ￡ 5 and ￡ 10
D. more than ￡ 5
8 . Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. British boys get a little more pocket money than girls.
B. Most American children think making pocket money will help them understand money better.
C. In the US, a little pre － school kid may get one or two dollars.
D. British kids in primary school get about 9 pounds each week.
9. What do most kids in Britain spend their pocket money on
A. Clothes. B. Books.
C. Snacks. D. Toys.
10. We know that most kids both in America and Britain________.
A. do chores to get their pocket money
B. put all their pocket money in the bank
C. use up their pocket money every month
D. would like to use their pocket money to have a party
6 . 【答案】B 【解析】点拨：由文中 Jacob 说的话 “I get $40 every month.I put half of them in the bank...” 可知， Jacob 每月有 40 美元的零花钱，他会将一半存入银行，也就是 20 美元。
7 . 【答案】B 【解析】点拨：由最后一段中的 “7% of them spend less than ￡ 1 each week, 73% spend between ￡ 1 and ￡ 5 each week” 可知， 73% 的英国孩子每周会花费 1 至 5 英镑的零花钱，这是大多数英国孩子的花费，故选 B 项。
8 . 【答案】D 【解析】点拨：由文中 “In Britain, kids in primary school get 4 or 5 pounds each week.” 可知，英国的小学生每周能得到 4 或 5 英镑的零花钱，故 D 项与原文不符。
9 . 【答案】C 【解析】点拨：由短文最后一句可知，大部分英国孩子会将零花钱花在糖、薯片和巧克力这些零食上。
10 . 【答案】A【解析】点拨：由文中对英美两国孩子与零花钱的介绍可知，在美国和英国，大多数孩子是通过做家务来赚取零花钱的，故选 A 项。

And she needs to help do the dishes and help clean the table after supper. She also helps Daddy look after our pet; she can get water and food for the dog, for example. She told me she wanted to mop (用拖把拖) the floor, but I'm not ready to get her to do it. If she is good and does all that she needs to do for the week, she gets 5 dollars and a movie.
My three-year-old daughter, Anna, has to clean up her toys, her bedroom, and any mess(混乱) that she makes. If she is good and does all that she needs to do for the week, she gets 3 dollars and a movie.

12．根据文章第二段中的“if she is good and does all that she needs to do for the week, she gets 3 dollars and a movie”可知，如果Ann表现好，一周之内都做了她需要做的事情，她会得到3美元和一部电影，故填3 dollars and a movie.
13．根据文章第一段中的“Ella, has to clean up her toys and her bedroom”和第二段中的“Anna, has to clean up her toys, her bedroom”可知，Ella和Anna都必须清理她们的玩具，打扫她们的卧室，故填They both have to clean up their toys and bedrooms.

Life is always full of stress these days. How do you usually solve your stress Do you know doing housework is helpful in solving stress In fact, doing something like washing dirty clothes may really make people relaxed.
“Doing some housework such as folding clothes or cleaning the room is a good way to face our stress without taking any medicine,” says Carol Clark, a successful psychologist(心理学家) in New York. She often advises people who are under lots of stress to try doing housework every day. “While washing something,” she says, “you can imagine you're washing away some trouble in your life.”
Do people all agree with her idea Here are some ideas about it.
“Housework is the main reason for the stress in my life,” says Linda in France(法国). “Get me out of doing the housework and then I'll really be relaxed.”
Gary is a single(单身的) father. “So, a man pays a psychologist $200 an hour for his problem about stress. However, he is just told to go back home and do some housework. I really don't know who is crazier, the psychologist or the man!”

Most of them spend money on sweets, crisps( 薯片 ) and chocolate.

Mrs. Read is an American housewife. Now she is talking about her children: five-year-old daughter, Ella, has to clean up her toys and her bedroom. And she needs to help do the dishes and help clean the table after supper. She also helps Daddy look after our pet; she can get water and food for the dog, for example. She told me she wanted to mop (用拖把拖) the floor, but I'm not ready to get her to do it. If she is good and does all that she needs to do for the week, she gets 5 dollars and a movie.
My three-year-old daughter, Anna, has to clean up her toys, her bedroom, and any mess(混乱) that she makes. If she is good and does all that she needs to do for the week, she gets 3 dollars and a movie.
