Always say “please” and “thank you”. We are full of advice for our children, but when it es to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money. Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives： Show them the future. If your 13173。year173。old girl were to save $1,000, invest(投資 ) it at 8% and add $100 every month, by the time she39。s 65, she would have $980,983! Be careful of credit(信用 ). Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash. Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside, say, $15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks. Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. “For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot， ” says Cathy Pareto, an expert in money planning. Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo, co173。author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don39。t want to buy it. “You might say, ‘I39。d rather save that money for your education ， ’” advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don39。t spend money, you have a chance to share your values. 28． The writer gives some basics to help ________ in a proper way. A． parents teach their children how to deal with money B． children follow their parents39。 instructions C． children manage their money D． parents save their money 解析： 通過文章第一段中 “We are full of advice for our children, but when it es to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.”及第二段 “Here are some basic s that will help guide them their entire lives” 可得出正確答案為 A。 答案： A 29． The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parents should ________. A． give him some regular pocket money B． encourage him to put money away for it C． explain to him the importance of investment D． tell him to save some money by using a credit card 解析： 閱讀文章第五段可推斷答案為 B。 答案： B 30． The underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 6 means ________. A． honor B． praise C． excitement D． encouragement 解析： 通過 “For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot...” 可看出是利用鼓勵的方式，所以選 D。 答案： D 31． What leads the writer to write this article? A． Parents want to know how to educate their children. B． He wants to share his good ideas about money matters. C． He thinks money management the most important for children. D． Parents care little about their children39。s management of money. 解析： 通過文章第一段可看出，家長關心孩子的衛(wèi)生習慣和文明禮貌，卻沒有教他們怎樣理財，作者針對這一問題，給出了幾點建議，可得出答案為 D。 答案： D D Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family39。s last vacation. It was my six－ year－ old son39。s winter break from school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $ 400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn39。t mean my husband and my son couldn39。t stay. I took my nine－ month－ old and took off for home. The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes， I encouraged— okay, ordered— them to wait it out at the airport to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh? Now some people may think I39。m a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big－ time bargain hunter, I know the valu
