children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.
Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they
will learn the hard way that spending must be done with a budget (预算). Parents are usually advised not to
offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older
children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
Many people who have written on the subject of allowance say it is not a good idea to pay your child for
work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an
understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share
it in the form of gifts or giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can
save it.
B. They are not as likely to make-mistakes.
C. Their mistakes won"t matter too much.
D. They have plans made by their parents.
B. they will have a hard time learning the lesson
C. what they will learn is absolutely true
D. their parents will teach them a hard lesson
B. whenever he has run out of money
C. telling him to ask for permission before spending
D. without telling him what to spend on
B. ask their parents for more money
C. get paid for their good exam results
D. earn money by extra work at home
B. giving it to a good cause
C. buying things for himself
D. saving for his future spending

for example, there are few in Britain.
There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates. Houses fall down. Railways are
broken, which causes trains to run off. Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways. About
60,000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy. Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes
(火山), but this is not true. The centres of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly
moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear.
These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it, breaking down houses and other
buildings. Sometimes they break more buildings than ____.
A terrible earthquake happened in Assam, India, in 1986. The land near Shillong suddenly moved l.5 feet to
one side, and then back again. It continued to act like this 20 times a minute. Few buildings could stand what
was happening and great stones flew four feet high into the air. What kind of buildings stays up best in an
earthquake? The Americans studied carefully the results of the earthquake at San Francisco (1906) and believed
it best for buildings to be made with concrete (水泥) walls together by steel frame. Such are the buildings that
can"t burn or fall easily.

outperformed (胜过) men in their studies even though they had started their courses with almost
identical (相同) a-level grades.
An analysis of the results showed that while 65 percent of female graduates were awarded, only
35 percent of male graduates did as well. Girls are known to outperform boys at school, but this
research showed that the trend continued at university.
Fiona Smith who led the research said, "The research shows that the difference has something
to do with schools in general."
"It also shows something about the inequality for working women in terms of pay and promotion.
Women work harder at school, harder at university, and do better at both, but they still receive less pay."
The research found that female students were more faithful, less likely to miss lectures, and more
likely to believe that their marks reflected their abilities than male students. Female students were also
more likely to ask for and receive support from their professors.
Women were also more likely to choose their universities because they liked the courses offered.
In contrast, men were more likely than women to miss lectures due to "other affairs" and "laziness",
and to believe that playing sports was an important part of university life.
Generally, people think that women"s success comes from more emphasis on coursework, but the
research showed that female geographers at Brunel did better in their exams than in their coursework.
Dr. Smith said, "Most women feel that getting grades is the most important part of university life.
They believe that they need to work harder in order to compete in the male-dominated (控制) environment
they will meet at work. Good grades are viewed as an "insurance policy" for success. Men, on the other
hand, prefer going out and playing sports to academic work."
"This research shows how important it is to get all young people working hard and teach them the
value of higher education," he said.

ability to listen or think, or to speak, or to read, or to write and do mathematics.
A person with a learning disability has unusual difficulty in developing these skills. Researchers believe
that learning disabilities are caused by differences in the way that the brain works with information. They
say children with learning disabilities are not unintelligent or do not want to work. Their brains just process
information differently than other people. Researchers say that one in five people in America has some kinds
of learning disability. Almost three million children in America receive some kinds of help in school for a
learning disability.
How can you tell if someone has a learning disability? Experts look for a difference between how well
a child does in school and the level of intelligence or ability of the child. But there is no sign of a disorder.
A few signs of a learning disability include not connecting letters with their sounds or not understanding
what is read. A person with a learning disability may not be able to understand a funny story. They may
not follow directions. They may not read numbers correctly or know how to start a task Different people
have different kinds of learning disabilities. Another may have difficulty understanding what people are
saying. Still another may not be able to express ideas in writing.
These different kinds of learning disabilities are known by different names. For example, a person who
has difficulty reading may have dyslexia. Someone who cannot do mathematics may have a disorder called
dyscalculia (计算困难).
Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. But people who have them can be helped. Teachers
and parents can help young people with learning disabilities to learn successfully.
B. How to cure learning disabilities.
C. Causes of learning disabilities.
D. Learning disabilities.
B. unintelligence
C. not wanting to work
D. the way the brain works with information
B. following directions
C. dressing themselves
D. reading numbers correctly
B. problem in reading
C. trouble in listening
D. brain disorder
to catfish (鲶鱼), some animal-fathers play a big part in raising their babies.
"Seahorses are possibly the best example of fathers caring for their young in the animal world," said
Heather Mason Jones, a biologist at the University of Tampa in Florida. Human mothers carry their babies
in their bodies for nine months. But seahorses are different. A female seahorse lays eggs and then puts
them in a pouch on a male seahorse"s belly (腹部), where the eggs stay until they hatch.
Male seahorses aren"t the only animal dads caring for eggs. The male hardhead catfish carries up to 48
marble-size eggs in his mouth for 60 days! He doesn"t eat for the entire time. "You"d think it would be hard
for them to give up a meal," said Ed Matheson, a fish expert at the Florida Marine Research Institute.
Emperor penguins sit on eggs to hatch them during Antarctica"s freezing winter. The males have to gather
closely together for warmth and can lose half of their weight in the two months that it takes the baby penguins
to hatch.
Even mammal (哺乳动物) dads play a role in raising their young. The male South American marmoset (狨
猴) takes care of the baby in place of the mother a few weeks after she gives birth.
So next Father"s Day, remember the millions of dads hard at work in the animal kingdom!
B. To tell readers an interesting fact.
C. To bring in the topic interestingly.
D. To offer basic knowledge for the text.
B. Two.
C. Three.
D. Four.
B. The male marmoset takes care of the baby as soon as the mother gives birth.
C. The eggs stay in a pouch on a male seahorse"s belly until they hatch.
D. Emperor penguins sit on eggs to keep warm during the freezing winter.
B. Fish experts.
C. Ordinary readers.
D. American fathers.
widespread, the ground pangolin. Pangolins have small heads and long, broad tails. They are toothless and
have no external ears, although their hearing is good. Their sense of smell is well-developed, but their sight
is poor. The weight of the scales (鳞片) and skin make up about 20% of their weight.
The common pangolin prefers sandy soils and is found in woodlands and savannas (热带草原), within
reach of water.
All pangolins can roll themselves into a ball to defend themselves. The cutting action of their scales protects
them too. Pangolins also have scent glands (臭腺) that release strong, foul smelling secretions. Pangolins are
normally alone. Females are usually alone with their young. The young are 6 inches long and weigh 12 ounces
at birth. Their pale, soft scales begin to harden by the second day. The baby is folded in the mother"s lap or
rolled-up body. It is nursed for 3 to 4 months and begins to eat termites (白蚁) at 1 month. At this time the
infant begins to accompany the mother, perhaps riding on the base of her tail. If the mother senses danger the
baby slips under her and is protected when she rolls up her body.
Pangolins use their sense of smell to locate termite and ant nests. They dig up the insects with their claws
and use their extremely long tongues to eat them.
B. sad
C. frightened
D. angry
B. Beautiful.
C. Protective.
D. Hard.
B. At 2 months old.
C. At 2-3 months old.
D. At 3-4 months old.
B. The pangolin"s diet.
C. The pangolin"s behavior.
D. The pangolin"s appearance.
