Parents should help their children understand money. 16 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
The basic fun_ction（功能）of money
Begin explaining the basic fun_ction of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It's important to show your child how money is traded for the thing he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier (收银员). 17 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic fun_ction of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
Money lessons
Deal with money lessons with openness and honesty. 18 If you must say no to a child's request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
19
Begin at a big store. Pick out similar brands (品牌) of a product -- a famous brand and an ordinary brand, for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money, 20 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A. Wise decision.
B. Tell your child why he can or cannot have certain things.
C. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
D. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.

In each year, millions of people go abroad to work, study, or travel. 16 B. It's a great way to find out what life is like in another part of the world! You're probably hoping to make new friends and learn about the culture in your host country everything from attitudes and beliefs (信仰) to social customs and popular foods. But constantly having to deal with new situations can be upset, even stressful. ?
Homesickness, stress, fear, and confusion are all parts of culture shock (文化冲击). At first, you may feel like getting on the plane and heading home. 17 The following are some tips to help you handle the challenges that you will face.
18 You may feel frustrated that you have culture shock, especially since you probably spent so much time preparing for your trip. No matter how much information you read, or how well you speak the host language, it is natural to have much pressure in such a different country.
Have an open mind. While it's certainly OK to feel disappointment of loss in your new culture, try not to form an opinion about the new culture too soon. 19 It’s just different -- you'll be more ready to try new things. Take part in. This is easy to understand, but everybody needs to be reminded. Just watching life go on around you isn't good enough. 20 Don't worry about making a mistake; people in your host country will generally be very understanding and willing to help if you ask for help.
Your study abroad experience is a special time in your life, one that you'll never forget. If you follow our suggestions, your life will go well.
A. Don't think of the host as better or worse.

You arrive at the mall anxious to buy your favorite CD or the coolest computer game. Nothing will stop you, not even the price — even if you don't have enough money, Mom or Dad will use a credit card (信用卡) to pay. But wait! Is using a credit card really that simple? There are some things you should know about using credit cards before you go shopping.
16 Credit card companies lend you money, which you are expected to pay back. They don’t lend you money just to be nice, however. In fact, they make billions of dollars this way. You spend 45 dollars buying a pair of jeans on a credit card, then about a month later, the credit company sends you a bill for 45 dollars. 17 But what if you can’t pay the whole bill? Usually, you are allowed to pay part of it. Let’s say you pay $10 the first month. Now the credit card company begins to get money from you. They charge extra money, called interest (利息), on whatever part of the money you didn't pay.
Now the $35 you still have on your bill begins to grow. Even if you don’t buy anything more, by the time you get your bill the following month, you will have more than $35 to need paying back. And every day, interest keeps adding up. 18
But the good news is that a credit card is convenient. 19 Besides, the credit card companies also offer extra services. For example, if something you bought online with your card stops working in a short time, the company may give your money back.
20 They spend more money than they can afford to pay back. Knowing how to use credit wisely will be necessary and help you to be a smart shopper.
A. It is sometimes the only way to pay when you shop over the Internet.
B. Using a credit card is a way of borrowing money to buy things.
C. Some people get themselves in trouble with credit cards.
D. If you pay the whole 45 dollars back right away, it won’t cost you anything.
E. So actually those jeans will end up costing you more than $45.

Sleep is like food for the brain. 16 However, many Chinese do not sleep well, and many do not pay enough attention to sleep. According to the index (指数), nearly a quarter of Chinese people don’t sleep well. 17 and 15 percent people have trouble falling asleep.
Ye Jingying, a sleep expert at Beijing Tongren Hospital, says,“If people often wake up during the night, or always feel weak and tired in the day, they should pay attention to their sleep pattern (模式).”
18 The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep. Other reasons include stress and bad moods.
19 Above all, get enough sleep. Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is perfect for an adult, and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager. Having good sleep habits is important. The report suggested that people need to keep away from digital devices (数码产品) for at least an hour before sleep.
20 Other suggestions include: try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays, and do the same relaxing things before bed each night, like listening to soft music.
A. Many people play with their cell phones or iPads before sleeping.
B. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop.
C. How to sleep well?
D. The lights keep their brains excited for a long while.
