Many children first learn the value of money by planning the use of an allowance (零用钱). The purpose of it is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend differs from one family to another. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make it clear what their child expects to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowances soon after they receive them. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget (预算). Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that budgeting means making choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible (有责任感的) enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Sometimes paying children to do extra work around the house can be useful.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or use it to do good things; they can spend it by buying things they want; or they can save it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice (舍弃) — you have to cut costs and plan for the future.
Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finances.
For example, one dollar invested at two percent interest (利息) for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.

People who speak or perform before the public sometimes may suffer from “Stage Fright. ” Stage fright makes a person nervous. In the worst case(情况) it can make one"s mind go back and forget what one ought to say, or to act. Actors, musicians, dancers, lawyers, even radio show hosts(节目主持人) have suffered from stage fright at one time or another.
Diana Nichols is an expert in helping people free from stage fright at a medical centre in New York City. She helps actors learn to control themselves. Miss Nichols says some people have always been afraid to perform before the audience. Others, she says, develop stage fright after a fearful experience.
She offers them ways to control the fear. One way is to smile before going onto the stage. Taking two deep breaths also helps. Deep breathing helps you get control of your body.
Miss Nichols persuades her patients to tell themselves that their speech or performance does not have to the perfect. It"s all right to make a mistake. She tells them they should not be too cautions(谨慎的) while they are performing. It is important that they should continue to perform while she is helping them. After each performance, they discuss what happened and find out what advice helped and what did not. As they perform more and more, they will fear less and less as much as 50%. Miss Nichols says the aim is only to reduce stage fright, not to eliminate it completely. This is because a little stage fright makes a person more cautious, and improves the performance.
1 One who is suffering stage fright may .
A. forget one"s part before the audience
B. smile all the time on the stage
C. make a speech fast than ever
D. be cautious to improve his performance
2 The underlined word “eliminate” in the last paragraph means .
A. keep B. reduce C. change D. get rid of
3 The wrong way to overcome stage fright is .
A. to smile before going to the stage.
B. to take two deep breaths to calm oneself
C. to pay less attention to one"s mistakes in performance
D. to perform less and to watch more
4 Which of the following statements is right?
A. We can get rid of stage fright completely.
B. A little stage fright can make actors perform better.
C. We can reduce stage fright as much as one third.
D. A little stage fright leads to complete failure. |
