| Ask savvy investors(投资者) how they learned their first lessons about money, and they"ll probably tell you lessons their parents taught them. The money values we learn as children stay with us the rest of our lives. If you are a parent, teaching your children the value of saving and investing will benefit them the rest of their lives. Here"s what you can do: Help your child begin to save. Open savings accounts for your children, and teach them how the bank adds interest to their savings that makes their money grow. Encourage your children to save a little from every bit of money they receive, such as allowances, birthday gifts, etc. You may even want to set up a matching program, contributing fifty cents for each dollar your child saves. Teach your child about stocks(股票). A child in elementary school can start learning about how businesses work. Once your child understands the basics, ask him or her to think about some of the businesses that might be good stock investments. Then use Morningstar Mutual Fund Guide(available at your library) to find a quality mutual fund that holds some of these companies, or a mutual fund that caters to children such as the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund. Many funds accept regular monthly investments as low as $50 a month, so these funds can be a good way to teach children about the stock market while saving for their college education. Encourage early IRA(个人退休金账户)saving. The new Roth IRA is a great way for children who are working in summers or after school to begin saving for their future. Imagine how much money you"d have today if you had saved $3,000 a year since you were a teenager! Let your kids handle their own money. We all learn by doing, so letting your kids manage a segment of their budget(预算)will let them earn valuable financial lessons.They may make mistakes, but they will be small mistakes that may help them avoid larger mistakes as adults. | |||||||||||||

| The Beatles were the most influential band in pop history. In their 8year, 12 album history, Paul Mc Cartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr altered (改变) popular culture dramatically. And it wasn"t just the suits and changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore that had such an impact, but what they seemed to stand for. The world saw them as the voice of a new generation, one with a very different attitude to life. Their influence was at its height in the 1960s, but their music continues to stir listeners today. However, up until recently one aspect of the Beatles was struck in Yesterday: The music had never been remastered (重新灌录). But on September 9 that situation came to an end, with the release of the entire band"s music in a digital makeover. It is probably the biggest reissue (重新发行) in pop music history, said British newspaper the Financial Times. The albums were remastered at Abbey Road Studios in London, the location where the band produced much of their work. The cover of their last album, Abbey Road of 1969, featured the four young men striding (大步行走) across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road itself. It is one of the most famous of all Beatles images. Recently, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album, hundreds of Beatles lovers gathered there to show their appreciation. Pop groups come and go. The boy band pursued by screaming fans one year will be forgotten the next. But the Beatles are one of the few groups whose music seems to have endured (持久). Why? Paul McCartney"s biographer Barry Miles has an explanation: "They were the first rock band… and they just happened to be the best. They were the first band to play stadiums, to have their own products. They were groundbreaking in every way," he says. 1. Why did the Beatles change popular culture? A. Because of the suits of the four Liverpool boys. B. Because of changing lengths of hair the four Liverpool boys wore. C. Because of their albums. D. Because of their different attitude to life. 2. Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the second paragraph? A. The Beatles influenced people at its height in the 1960s. B. Their music Yesterday had never been remastered. C. The entire band"s music in a digital makeover will be remastered. D. On September 9, their music came to an end. 3. What is their last album? A. Yesterday. B. Abbey Road of 1969. C. Come Together. D. In My life. 4. What is NOT the reason why their music can endure? A. They were the first rock band. B. They were the best one. C. They were the first band to play stadiums and to have their own works. D. They wore special suits. | |||||||||||||

| You love Jay Chou"s songs and you can sing some quite well. So you make a video of your performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond your wildest imagination-a career in music? Canadian teenager Justin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received a phone call from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually earned him a fan base and a record contract. After releasing a popular EP (extended play密纹唱片) record in November 2009, his album My world 2.0 came out last Tuesday. Bieber sings ballads and songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜腻的) teen idol? David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn"t think so. "If we truly want the best for American children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber," he writes. "After years of humdrum bubblegum (乏味的摇滚舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16yearold has thrown a candycoated wrench (扭转) into Disney"s heartthrob (甜心) assembly line (生产线) by giving young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for: lovable pop songs." From a boy who grew up below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused nearriots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can"t believe his overnight fame, although his kind of success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era. Interested in hockey (冰球), the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players on the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his autograph (签名). He doesn"t need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough, as a music star. 1. What did Chris Brown think of Justin Bieber"s singing? A. He didn"t like it. B. He liked it very much. C. He didn"t say anything. D. He supported Justin Bieber. 2. Who is a columnist? A. Chris Brown. B. Jay Chou. C. David Malitz. D. Miley Cyrus. 3. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? A. He had a happy family. B. His family was very poor once. C. His family was rich. D. His family helped him a lot. 4. What"s Justin Bieber"s hobby? A. Singing. B. Hockey. C. Signing. D. Making records. | |||||||||||||
