Ⅳ.阅读理解（30%）

A

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance.The purpose 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 as they wish differs from family to family.Timing is another consideration.Some children get a weekly allowance.Others get a monthly allowance.

In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything，the child is expected to pay for with the money.

At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget.Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.

The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics.

Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home.These jobs are a normal part of family life.

Paying children to do extra work around the house，however, can be useful.It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.

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 giving it to a good cause.They can spend it by buying things they want.Or they can save it.

1．What is special about children learning financial management by experience?

A．They learn more quickly.

B．They are not as likely to make mistakes.

C．Their mistakes won't matter so much.

D．They have plans made by their parents.

2．When the writer says some young children “will learn the hard way that ...”， he means________.

A．they will know how hard it is to learn budget

B．they will have an easy time learning the lesson

C．what they will learn is absolutely true

B

Growing up in the USA, I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English.Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly.People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well.When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her.I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her.One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人)．I said in a young voice that was not very convincing，“This is Mrs.Tan.”

And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly，“Why he don't send me check already two weeks late.”

And then, in perfect English I said, “I'm getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago，but it hasn't arrived.”

Then she talked more loudly.“What he want？I come to New York tell him front of his boss.”And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can't tolerate any more excuse. If I don't receive the check immediately, I am going to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York.While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan，was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager, my mother's broken English embarrassed me.But now, I see it differently.To me, my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural.It is my mother tongue.Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom.It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
