【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了父母应该教孩子认识钱并正确花钱购物。

1.根据后一句“so you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example”可知，所以，当你的孩子对买东西、糖果或玩具表现出兴趣时，你可以开始谈论钱。G项“教孩子关于钱的最好时机是他表现出兴趣”与下文紧密衔接，G项中的“when he shows an interest”与后面的“when your child shows an interest”相呼应，符合语境。故选G项。

2.根据前一句“If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier.”可知，如果他想要一个玩具，把钱给他，让他把钱交给收银员。F项“离开玩具店后跟你的孩子说说用钱怎么买东西”与上文紧密衔接，F项中的“the toy store”与前面的“a toy”“the cashier”相呼应，符合语境。故选F项。

3.根据后两句“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.””可知，如果你一定要拒绝孩子花钱的要求，解释一下，“你现在有足够的玩具卡车了”或者，如果这个要求是为了很多不同的事情，说，“你得在这个玩具和那个玩具之间做出选择”。D项“告诉你自己什么东西对你来说最重要”与下文紧密衔接，符合语境。故选D项。

4.空格处是该段的小标题。根据该段第三句“You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.”可知，你可以教你的孩子如何在不同品牌的产品之间做出选择，这样你就可以省钱了。A项“明智的选择”概括了最后一段的中心内容，适合做该段的小标题。故选A项。

5.根据后一句“If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved.”可知，如果他选择更便宜的品牌，允许他用省下来的钱再买一个商品。C项“允许孩子为什么他能或不能拥有某些东西”与下文紧密衔接，C项中的“Permit the child”与后面的“allow him”相呼应，符合语境。故选C项。
