Teach Children the Value of Money

As we're moving towards a more cashless society and real pocket money is becoming increasingly unpopular, children increasingly no longer understand the value of physical money and simple tasks such as working out how many coins are needed to buy a toy or sweets will become out-of-use. Education around money management and establishing healthy money habits at a young age have become even more vital.

1. Start with planning an activity together and then define a budget. Then, research what things you will buy, work out which items may be better to buy. As you carry out each part of the activity, make sure to save all the receipts, and then evaluate if you managed to stay within, or broke your budget. 2.

Giving your children or encouraging them to suggest a regular chore can be rewarded with some pocket money. 3. For example, 14-year-olds are often making their own beds, so introducing a reward for such a "chore" is not a good idea, however, emptying the dishwasher might be just right for a nine-year-old. These types of chores will help them to get an understanding of earning money and the relationship between time, effort and money. Educate children through encouragement by paving the way for them to act on their own curiosity and interest. 4.

Coming up with and doing activities or day to day tasks together with your children, is not only much more enjoyable for your children, but it also helps them to become more confident and decisive about making their own decisions about savings, interest rates, or allowances. 5. That is bound to pave the way to breaking the trend of financial illiteracy.

A.That is one of the most important factors for learning.

B.Involve them in everyday money management activities.

C.This can be done with real-money or a digital piggy bank.

D.Giving your child regular pocket money, big enough to cover basic wants.

E.They will become more financially independent and wiser to online spending.

F.Such a chore beyond what is considered to be done at a certain age is the best.

G.This practice of setting a budget is very useful and fun for both parents and children.

 

1.B 2.G 3.F 4.A 5.E 【解析】 这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了在现金支付不再是主流支付方式的社会,应该如何教孩子意识到金钱的价值和教育孩子学习关于金钱管理的方法。 1.前一句说到,教育孩子金钱管理和建立良好的金钱习惯变得更加重要。下一句说,从和孩子一起计划一个活动,制定一个预算开始。可知此空承上启下,应该表示通过使孩子参与到相关活动中,教育他们进行金钱管理。故选B。 2.根据此空前一句:当你们实施活动的每一部分时,确保留下所有的收据,然后评价你们是否成功做到(花费)在预算之内,还是超出了预算。可以看出这个过程对准确地进行预算有帮助。此空承接上文,因此,应该表示这么做的好处是什么。故选G。 3.此空前一句建议让孩子做家务,然后给他们零花钱。此空后一句举例,14岁的孩子常常整理自己的床铺,因此为这样的家务提供奖励不是一个好主意,然而,清空、整理洗碗机可能对9岁的孩子刚好合适。此空承上启下,应该表示建议孩子承担什么样的家务,根据下一句可知,稍微超出孩子本可以做到的家务是好的。故选F。 4.由前文可知,稍微有难度的家务可以帮助孩子理解赚钱的意义和时间、努力与金钱之间的关系。要通过鼓励教育孩子,为他们根据自己的好奇心和兴趣采取行动创造条件(铺平道路)。此空承接上文,因此,此空应该解释这种做法对学习金钱管理的意义。故选A。 5.此空前一句讲到,和孩子一起实施活动,做任务,对孩子们来说不仅是一种享受,也帮助他们变得更加自信,使他们能果敢地决定有关存款、利率或者免税额的问题。此空承接上文,应该继续讲这个方法对培养孩子金钱管理方面的好处。故选E。

    A mind-reading chip that lets you control a computer by just thinking has been made public at a conference in China. Named Brain Talker, the chip could be used to control computers, smart phones and other devices, its creators say. It has been jointly developed by Tianjin University and China Electronics Corporation.

This kind of brain-computer interface (接口) is designed to let a person control a computer, a smartphone or other electronic devices using his/her brainwaves alone-without needing any forms of verbal orders, movements, or button pressing. Brain interfaces would not only allow for the faster operation of various technologies, but also be used to assist people with disabilities, for example by letting an individual drive an electric wheelchair just by thinking.

“Brain-computer interfaces hold a promising future,” said Dong Ming. "The Brain Talker chip advances brain-computer interface technology, allowing it to become more portable, wearable and accessible to the general public.

The brain decoding (解码) chip works by picking out minor neural (神经) electrical signals in the brain and rapidly translating them into a form that the computer can understand. “This brain-computer chip has the ability to identify minor neural electrical signals and decode their information efficiently, which can greatly enhance the speed and accuracy of brain-computer interfaces” said Dr. Dong.

Recent technology advances have allowed researchers to develop the Brain Talker chip, so it is smaller and operates faster, more precisely and with greater efficiency than existing brain-computer interfaces. Although it is not clear exactly how the device will be worn, most brain-computer interface devices are worn on the outside of the body, rather than being fixed directly into the users’ brain. Cheng Longlong, a data scientist, said that the research team will attempt to improve the performance of the Brain Talker. One day brain-computer codec chips will contribute to medical treatment, education, self-discipline, security as well as games and entertainment.

1.Why do the creators develop the Brain Talker?

A.To improve the quality of a smartphone

B.To create more efficient electronic devices

C.To make the computer portable and accessible

D.To assist people to faster drive electronic devices

2.What does Dr Dong expect of the Brain Talker?

A.It has an uncertain future B.It can record people's brainwaves

C.It can be widely used by the public D.It will advance public entertainment

3.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A.How the chip controls computer.

B.How the brain works with a computer.

C.How the brain processes information

D.How the chip picks out neural electrical signals.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.The chip will be worn inside the users’ body

B.It's too challenging to improve the Brain Talk

C.The performance of the Brain Talker is satisfying

D.Some patients will benefit from the Brain Talker

    What will you get if you ask middle schoolers to show you their city through a camera? There may be images of flowers and friends, street scenes and sneakers, and trees and trains. It can also include colorful images featuring their favorite people, places and things. Such photographs made up an exhibition that was the end result of a special citywide photography lesson called “Everyday DC”.

“DC is a place where people can all come together and be free and be with everyone that they love,” said Lauryn Tharpe, one of the four student curators (馆长) who worked with their art teacher at Brookland Middle School to put the exhibition together. “There’s more to DC than big buildings and important people.”

“Everyday DC” was inspired by a popular Instagram feed called Everyday Africa, which was started by two professional photographers who noticed the personal photos of Africa, from their perspective (视角) showing a different story than their professional work. The goal of the online photo “exhibition” was to show viewers what it’s like to live in Africa, as opposed to what people outside of Africa see in the news.

In Washington DC, students took photos to reflect their lives there. Twelve middle schools each submitted about 10 student photographs, from beautiful portraits to action shots and images of the students’ favorite foods. Tharpe and another three students were selected to be curators by their art teacher, Maame Bawuah, who coordinated (协调) the project for DC Public Schools.

“I have a lot of amazing students, although the four of them are quite exceptional,” said Bawuah, who chose the students to be curators because of their interest in both photography and museum management.

A curator is someone who collects, organizes, cares for and displays anything in a collection. To get ready for the exhibition, the curators had to take care of many tasks, including taking their photos according to different themes.
