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 , says,  “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（无商标商品）, 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.

【解析】

试题分析: 文章第一段提出了要解决的问题即“家长如何教会孩子理财”，然后从三方面提供解决问题的方法分别为解释钱的功能，教会理智花钱及做出明智选择。

1.G 考查对上下文语境的理解。“So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.。 ”可知，应该在孩子对买糖果，玩具等感兴趣时和他们谈论金钱，这里选C（教孩子有关金钱的最好时间是他们感兴趣的时候。）与上下文一致。

2.F考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是;让孩子把钱递给收银员。所以这里选F（离开玩具店之后告诉孩子是如何用钱买到玩具的。）与上下文一致。

3.D 考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是：如果你必须对孩子要花钱的请求说不的话，可以这样解释“你已经有足够多的玩具卡车了。﹍”。所以这里选D(告诉孩子他为什么可以或不可以得到某些东西。）与上下文一致。

4.A考查对上下文语境的理解。﹍so that you can save money.可知这里讲的是教会孩子在不同的商品中做出选择。所以这里选A（理智的选择。）与上下文一致。

5.如果他选择了耿便宜的商品，允许他用省下的钱买别的商品。所以这里选C（允许孩子自己做出选择。）与上下文一致。

考点：考查七选五短文。
