How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not a right amount. Actually amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family.
To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work out a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures(花费) such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these bills,” Says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”
Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peer’s can feel left out.
It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten, her mother gave her $1, 75% of which for bus fare and lunch. “If you lose your money,” Brooke’s mother told her, “you walk home.”
One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. “Mom made me walk home.” recalled Stephens, now a financial planner. “ At first I was angry, but I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”
Experts advise that an allowance not be tied directly to child’s daily chores(日常家务).
Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home that can develop his or her initiative.

Spend quality time with your child. Try putting off some work to spend time with your child. Play with him or read him a book. By spending quality time with him every day you are letting your child know that you are concerned about him.
State your rules in black and white. At first, it may be tough for you to carry them out just because of your child’s too much crying, and you have to give in to him at times. But in the long term, by sticking to your rules, you are letting your child know what behaviour you will and will not bear.
Punishment should be avoided if possible. It will deeply affect your child’s physical and mental health. It you want to correct his mis behavior, do it in a friendly way.
You children copy their parents’ behavior. If you are trying to teach your child to always be kind to others, your behavior needs to suggest that. By being on your best behavior in front of your child you will set a wonderful example to him. Your child will only be this age once. Allow your child to make his own decisions. Let him make mistakes sometimes so he will learn to be more responsible for his actions.
Another thing that you have to remember is to let your child understand that his actions always affect other people and his misbehavior is not the solution to his problem.
By following those above, you are on your way to having a well-behaved child and getting along well with him.

Many people find exams frightened experiences. Sit down for an exam when
everyone is so quiet and serious really makes people nervous. In order to overcome
that, I always do few things to relax after I start. At the beginning of the exam, I
read out all the directions carefully so that I can know exactly how I have to do.
Then I work out how many time I can spend on each question and make sure I keep
to my timetable. If I feel myself getting nervous at any time, I will stop what I was
doing and take a few deep breath. However, I think the most important thing is to
review my work thoroughly before exams. The better I’m prepared, the more
worried I will be in exams.

Vauban We know cars are terrible polluters, but would you give yours up? Vauban, a community in southwestern Germany, did just that, and its 5,000 citizens are doing fine. Most streets are free of vehicles, and there are generous green spaces and good public-transport links, including fast buses and bicycle paths. When people must drive, they can turn to car-sharing clubs. “All the citizens had the chance to plan their own city,” says Andreas Delleke, an energy expert, “and it"s just how we wanted it to be.” | Denmark During the period of gas shortage in the early 70s, Denmark decided to become self-sufficient ( 自足). So they began a few projects making smart investments along the way. On the island of Samsoe, local families, fishermen and farmers bought wind turbines (涡轮机) to produce their own energy. Within seven years these turbines were completely paid for. And can you believe just one of wind turbines produces enough electricity for 600 households? |

Trey Parker and Matt Stone Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have built a sustainable castle with outer siding and inner flooring of recycled wood, recycled carpeting, high-efficiency boiler systems. “I think more and more today, people are willing to make a statement about the Earth and how they want to protect it,” Michael Rath, home designer and builder says. "For high-end homes in this valley, this is entirely consistent with what they cost." | P-NUT Who doesn"t love the name P-NUT—short for Personal-Neo Urban Transport? It"s Honda"s latest attempt to create a tiny footprint for a new urban vehicle. This little P-NUT is unique. With a central driving position, the car is designed to move in tight settings. The 11-foot micro car will seat three with two rear-seat passengers behind the driver. “The P-NUT concept explores the packaging and design potential for a vehicle designed for the city lifestyle,” said Dave Marek, a Honda design Spokesman. |

Israel Company Is it possible that annoying rush hour traffic could become a source of renewable energy? Israel"s Technion Institute of Technology claims that if we placed special generators ( 发电机 ) under roads, railways, and runways—we could harvest enough energy to mass-produce electricity. A trial process has been used on a smaller scale, in dance clubs for instance, where the pounding feet of dancers light up the floor. "We can produce electricity anywhere there is a busy road using energy that normally goes to waste," said Uri Amit, chairman of Israel"s Technion Institute of Technology. | Coffee Coffee. Some of us can"t start our day without it, and we don"t mind waiting 10 minutes in line for it. Here is the most effective tip to make you a superstar in environment protection. Get a coffee machine for your home or office, or persuade your company into buying one. (Tell them it will improve productivity. ) Skip the coffee line on the way to work and make something that is better-tasting and much better for your wallet. Plus, you won"t need those plastic cups or carrying cases that just get thrown away. Better yet, use your favorite travel mug. |
