Money Matters Parents should help their children understand money. 1 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example. 1.The basic function of money Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things 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). 2 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money. 2. Money lessons Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 3 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." 3. 4 Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product-a name-brand butter and a generic(无商标产品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 5 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 decisions. B. The value of money. C. Permit the child to choose between them. D. Tell your child why he can-or cannot-have certain things. E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you. F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store. G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest. |

Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US. For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2011 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases (购买) were women. "It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming", said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending. Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic increases in the online gift-buying population this time around. However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2011. They worried about credit card security(安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals. "But even if shoppers don"t buy online, websites are becoming promotion tools for stores," said Dan Hess, vice president of Comscore Networks Inc. Hess said that actually most stores" websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time. "It"s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable." Hess said. |

When you are talking to somebody at a party, do you focus entirely on the person you are speaking with or does your attention keep jumping around the room to all the other people there? General1y, if the person is someone you really want to talk to, you will focus on him. Most other people will only get about half of your attention. You may think that this is OK, because if you don"t really want to talk to him, then what does it matter if you don"t give him your full attention? Consider two things. First, you may just not realize the importance of that conversation. If you are at a networking meeting and you hope to meet the CEO of Company X, but you end up talking to someone who has a low-level job at a different company, then you may let your attention wander (走神) as you speak to him. But maybe you don"t realize that this person has already met the CEO and could introduce you. Do you think he will do that if he feels you don"t really care about speaking to him? This doesn"t mean you need to spend the whole time talking to him. Five or ten minutes of real attentive (专心的)conversation can be worth 30 minutes to an hour of partial attention. Second, whether you want to speak to someone is based on the situation. You can love your wife, but if she tries to talk to you while you are watching something you like on TV, where is your attention going? Make your own decision, but if you want her to feel valued, give her your 100% attention. The nice thing is that in many cases you can give her your attention for a few minutes and then return to what you were doing. You miss very little, she feels valued, and all is good. |
1. The author"s opinion is made believable mainly by ________. |
A using figures B. giving examples C. asking questions D. description |
2. The second paragraph mainly tells you that ________. |
A. you should be interested in everyone at a party B. you can refuse to talk to someone you don"t like at a party C. you should focus on whoever you are talking to D. you should be patient with everyone at a party |
3. A person who has a low-level job probably ________. |
A. would like to talk to you B. is well worth focusing on C. wants to make friends with you D. is the one you"re looking for |
4. If your wife wants to talk to you when you are busy, you should ________. |
A. decide what to do according to the situation B. go on with what you are doing C. stop doing anything immediately D. finish what you are doing with her |
5. What is the main idea of this passage? |
A. Always be friendly to others at a party. B It is important for you to be active at a party. C You should respect your wife at any time. D Improve your communication skills by focusing on others |
