21、At primary school in New Zealand, I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks. When our money box was full, we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter. As a reward,we could choose our next money box from a small variety, and start the whole savings routine again. Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and “make ends meet”. Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.
Later, as a university student, I managed on an extremely small student allowance. Students were ignored by banks then, because we were so poor, and there was no way I could have gotten credit, even if I had tried. We collected our allowance three times each year, deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.
When our daughter, Sophie, began to walk, we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely. We often comment when the TV tells us “You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"—to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up? Now, as a 12-year-old child, it’s almost embarrassing to see her tight “financial policy”,and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.
I agree that financial education in schools is very important. But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.
【1】What did the author learn from her parents?
A. How to become a banker.
B. Where to open a savings account.
C. Where to choose a money box.
D. How to make ends meet.
【2】How did the author manage the student allowance?
A. He applied for a credit card.
B. He spent it three times a year.
C. He put it in the bank.
D. He seldom withdrew it.
【3】What reflects Sophie’s tight “financial policy”?
A. Reducing her savings.
B. Buying things on sales.
C. Canceling holiday plans.
D. Borrowing money from banks.
【4】What’s the text mainly about?
A. Parents,money problems.
B.Students' school performance.
C. Children’s saving behavior.
D. Children’s financial education.
22、Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to sixteen received a full financial education got lost in the “wash up". An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.
At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account-let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.
Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to sixteen should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the children,schools and families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called ¨wash-up" earlier this month-the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum.
As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven to ll-year-olds are savers but by the time they get t0 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit or overdraft(透支)as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have been fallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school".
The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations. It does seem odd that-unless parents step in-young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents.
【1】The passage is mainly about
A. how to manage school lessons
B. how to deal with the financial crisis
C. teaching young people about money
D. teaching students how to study effectively
【2】It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that
A. the author complains about the school education
B. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract
C. students have been taught to manage their finances
D. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out
【3】The website and the consumer campaigner joined to
A. instruct the pupils to donate their pocket money
B. promote the connection of schools and families
C. ask the government to dismiss the parliament
D. appeal for the curriculum of financial education
23、Four Books About Animals
Who Lives Here? Polar Animals by Deborah Hodge
This is a fact book about animals who live in the extreme cold. Each page talks about a different animal in a couple, easy to understand sentences that are accompanied by cute pictures. Along the side are additional facts that you can choose to share or not depending on your child’s interest. This book had some favourite animals-snowy owls and penguins!
The Magical Snow Garden by Tracey Corderoy
A little penguin named Wellington, who lives in the snow, dreams of his own flower garden. His best friend, Rosemary, helps him create his own flowers out of bits of paper, springs, gears, and other things that can be repurposed. Together, they create a beautiful garden. Sadly, a snow storm destroys the beautiful flowers. Wellington’s friends won’t let him give up, and together they rebuild the garden better than ever. Preschoolers will adore the cute illustrations in this book. And everyone can benefit from the message, “We don’t know until we try.”
Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester
Here’s a bird who grows well in the snow-meet Tacky, the funniest penguin! He can’t sing, dive, or march the way other penguins do; Tacky does everything his own way. At first this seems to be a bad thing, but when the hunters come looking for penguins, Tacky’s odd behaviour drives them away! It turns out that being yourself is pretty great.
Here is Antarctica by Madeleine Dunphy
This book shows us lots of animals that survive in the cold in Antarctica. The reader gets to learn about both water and land creatures. The animals who live on the land, live in snow year round. These include three types of penguins, leopard seals and the southern giant petrels (海燕).
