21、Money Matters

Parents should help their children understand money.【1】 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

The basic function of money

Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have.

If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier. 【2】 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.

Money lessons

Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 【3】  If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “ You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”

【4】

Begin at the grocery store with your child. Pick out two similar brands of a product. 【5】 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for another purchases.

A．Wise decisions.

B．The way of choice.

C．Permit him to choose between them.

D．Tell your child why he can — or cannot — have certain things.

E．Ask them what things that cost money are most important to them.

F．Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.

G．One of the wisest things you can possibly do is to choose the best time.

22、You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.

ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.

Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.

But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang (杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. And he is an American citizen.

【1】“ABC” in this text stands for “_______”.

A. three English letters

B. a kind of banana

C. Americans born in China

D. Chinese born in America

【2】Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because __________.

A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outside

B. they think like Westerners but look like Chinese

D. they are Chinese who look like bananas

【3】C. N. Yang is mentioned here to show that ________.

A. American Chinese are great

B. we love American Chinese

C. American Chinese are not Chinese citizens

D. Chinese people can win Nobel Prizes

【4】This text is mainly about _________.

D. the life story of C. N. Yang

23、Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions, whether to Mars or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the world’s poor and find immediate solutions to other problems, such as pollution and fatal diseases (致命疾病). However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realise how exploring space helps us.

Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns. Then the data is transmitted (传送) to scientists on Earth. After careful analysis, the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers. As a result, space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth’s increasing population.

Secondly, space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all. High-end products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet the requirements for space exploration. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material. They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use. Today, space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries, and everyday products such as GPS, memory foam pillows (记忆棉枕头), and smartphone cameras are changing our lives.

Finally, sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world’s problems and even to find ways to solve them. Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realise that our planet’s resources are limited. In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth. In the future, humans may live on both planets.

In closing, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people’s short-term and long-term problems.

A．propose a definition

【3】What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?

A．Space exploration no longer requires high-end products.

B．High-end products cannot meet the needs of space exploration.

C．Our daily life has benefited from the development of space technology.

D．The development of new material is a must for space exploration.

【4】What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 4?

A．Space exploration has changed the way our planet works.

24、Food，football and fashion—Milan has it a11．The city is perhaps most famous for its annual Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan．And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo，the theme of which is food and nutrition．

Milan may not the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy．Rome is the most famous city in Italian history，Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals and Florence is popular with art lovers．Yet Milan can often be left off tourists’lists．But although some see Milan as the“ugly sister”of these cities，according to Lonely Planet，in 2015 the city is“suddenly back in fashion in a big way”．

The Milan Expo will look at the future of food，trying to answer the question of how Earth’s fast-growing population can be fed in the future．According to Lonely Planet website．“144 countries will set up shop northwest of central Milan，forming a mini city-within-a-city”．

Milan’s famous opera house，La Scala，normally closed in the summer，will also host daily performances during the expo，reported Fox News．

Not interested in opera?Don’t worry．Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro stadium，home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan．Tile stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years，both in Serie A and the European Champions League．

So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem“soulless”，as Lonely Planet said．it still has“a serious sense of history and place”．Many people will be discovering it this year，and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems．Will you?

26、   Max works as a security guard at a famous museum． As a security guard， Max watches visitors to the museum as they come and go． He often wonders things about them． Where do they come from？ Are they happily married？ What do they do for a living？

One day， Max notices a very pretty woman visiting the exhibit he is guarding． He has seen her before． In fact， she often comes to see the rare jewelry exhibit - sometimes several times a week．

During one of these visits， she starts a conversation with Max． She asks if it is difficult to be a security guard and if he ever gets bored． She introduces herself as Maria， a fashion designer．

When Maria comes to visit， she often talks with Max． "Maybe she likes me，" he thinks．

Max thinks she is very interesting and wants to spend more time with her． During one of their talks at the museum， he finds out that she is studying Italian．

He lies and tells her he has always wanted to learn Italian． He is simply using Italian as a trick． And it works! Max and Maria meet every Saturday afternoon in the museum garden to study Italian．

During the lessons， they also talk about themselves． Maria shares her dreams of one day showing her fashions in a museum． Max tells her many details about his security job， including the security code and the locations of alarms． He jokes that it would be very easy to rob the museum．

Over the passing weeks， they learn more about each other． What Max doesn't learn， however， is that Maria is not as innocent as she looks． Maria is actually an international jewel thief! Police from eight different countries have been searching for her in the past two years!

Her latest goal is to steal the rare Black Diamond! This diamond is the most valuable diamond in the world and it is part of the exhibit that Max is guarding． All her attention on him was a trick to learn more about the museum's security system．
