【解析】

试题分析：本文属于教育类阅读，主要讲述如何教育孩子形成正确的金钱观。

1.D 根据下句so you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example可知当我们的孩子对于买东西、糖果和玩具表示出兴趣的时候，正是我们教育他们金钱观的时候。选项中只有D项符合上下文串联。

2.G 根据本段中心句第一句Being explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services.通过展示人们是如何用金钱交易货物和服务，向孩子们解释金钱的作用。接着以孩子买玩具为例子证明这，选项中G项：离开玩具店以后和孩子谈论金钱是如何购买东西。符合本段主旨大意。

3.F 根据本段第一句Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.开放诚实地向孩子解释金钱方面的问题。F项：告诉孩子为什么他能够或不能够做的事情。和本段中心句的意义相一致

4.E 根据本段第三句You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.要向孩子展示如何在不同的商标之间做出选择，以此来节省钞票。也就是告诉孩子要做出明智的决定。故E正确。

【名师点睛】

七选五题型对阅读理解提出了更高层次的要求，即不仅要有阅读速度，要对所读文章的主旨要义、具体信息要有所了解，尤其重要的是要掌握作者的写作意图、观点，区分出论点和论据，并且能够把握文章的写作结构和脉络层次，只有了解了这一切，才能比较准确地确定应该选择哪个选项。

做题顺序为：1． 阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词 在阅读文章的开始部分、明确文章的基本话题以后，要阅读五个空自的前后句，并将前后句中的解题线索，即关键词标记下来。关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组），专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。 2． 阅读各个选项，尤其是选项的首句，标记关键词 3． 比较并匹配上述两类关键词，确定答案 4． 将确定的答案代入原文，看读起来是否通顺。

结合本文第5题，首先我们看前一句You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.你可以向孩子展示在不同的品牌之间做出选择，以此节约。在后一句If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved.如果孩子选择了便宜的品牌，那么允许孩子用节省的钱买其他动词，考生可知中间这一部分必然是与孩子的选择有关，那么只有C项符合上下文串联。
