The life-long benefits of teaching children how to take care of their money make it well worth the effort. Children who are not taught these lessons pay the consequences for a life time. Some parents don’t teach children about money because they think they shouldn’t talk about money with children, don’t have the time, or think they don’t have enough money. Parents should take the time to teach children about money regardless of their income and should start when children are young.

       Most people have strong feelings and opinions about money, based on childhood experiences and the values and beliefs of their families. Most often, these experiences, values, and beliefs are different for each parent. Parents should talk about these feelings and opinions and establish an unchanging approach（方式） to teaching children about money. This is important for the healthy development of children.

       Here are some tips that parents can keep in mind as they begin teaching their children to manage money:

       ★ Guide and advise your children how to spend their money, rather than tell them what they can and cannot do.

       ★ Encourage and praise children rather than criticize their actions.

       ★ Allow children to learn by mistakes and by successes.

       ★ Be consistent（前后一致的） while taking children’s differences into consideration.

       ★ Include all family members in money management discussions, decision making, and activities that are suitable for their age. As children get older include them in discussions of limits and consequences.

       ★ Expect all family members to do some everyday chores based on their abilities without being paid.

       ★ Express your desire to have things you can’t afford. Children need to know that parents say “no” to themselves, too.

64. It is _____ for parents to teach their children about money management in their childhood.

A. easy               B. useless    C. too early            D. beneficial

65. 15-year-old Harry isn’t good at managing his money. His mother is advised to _____.

A. explain to him how to manage his money better

B. pay him more money to deal with his chores

C. praise him for what he has done

D. allow him to buy what he wants

66. When parents discuss how to manage the family finances, they should _____.

A. include their children in the discussion

B. express their desire to have some valuable things

C. pay more attention to their children’s differences

D. try to meet their older children’s needs first

Dear Volunteers，
The service you will provide to elderly individuals in Abilene as a Meals on Wheels volunteer is deeply appreciated. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the many miles you will travel and all of the hours you will contribute to help make this one of the best programs in the entire state.
We have our staff members make a home visit before adding each person to the program and try to visit everyone at least once every year. That is hardly enough, and we depend on your contact a great deal! It is important that you report back when you do not get an answer to your knock on the door. The person inside may be hurt or ill. They may be in hospital or out of town and fail to inform us. If they are frequently absent, we may need to determine if they still need meals.
If you find someone with a medical emergency, please call 911 to request medical assistance, and then call the Meals on Wheels office. If you find someone who needs assistance other than for a medical emergency, please call the Meals on Wheels office at 6725050, and we will try to find the appropriate agency or individual to call.
Let us know when a certain person needs extra food. We have a food preparation room of shelf stable items to share with them. Please feel free to take a few magazines when you deliver meals. Many of those we serve cannot afford magazines and enjoy reading. If someone is interested in getting books from the Abilene Public Library, let us know. We can sign them up for the Books on Wheels program. Call if you smell gas strongly when you deliver meals, or if someone needs a space heater, a blanket, or an electric fan. Please convey all needs to us, and we will try to see that they are met. Some of the elderly people who we offer our service may have cancers, liver diseases, AIDS, etc. If you do not want to deliver meals to the people with certain types of health problems, such as these, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Betty L. Bradley, LBSW,
Executive Director

In America, Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort: brilliant beaches, a lively boardwalk, plenty of restaurants and nightspots, and amusement rides are sure to appeal to kids. Many believe Virginia Beach is at its best in the off-season, when the town is less crowded but the weather is still mild.

Meanwhile, some safety tips should be followed, enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach offers.

The number l safety tip concerns ocean safety: pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands. Lifeguards post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous. Take them seriously! Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves. However, a calm ocean can become risky without warning. Make sure you swim near a lifeguard. Swimming without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards.

Never swim alone. Many drownings involve single swimmers. When you swim with someone else, if one of you has a problem, the other may be able to get help, including signaling for assistance from others.

Don't fight the current. The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity, because once surf pushes water up the slope of a beach, gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore. If you are caught in a rip current, don't fight it by trying to swim directly to shore. Instead, swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. Most rip currents are narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety.

1.When coming to Virginia Beach, children can enjoy the happiness of      .

A. walking on the road made of wood             B. joining the nightspots

C. having interesting rides                                     D. skiing in the sea

2.Many people believe the best time to visit Virginia Beach may be      .

A. after autumn school term beginning    B. in the slimmer vacation

C. during the Christmas holiday                            D. in the cold winter

3.Swimming in the sea you'd better not swim      .

A. with a friend               B. within the sight of the lifeguard

C. with the current                D. as far as you like

4.From the passage, we can know      .

A. one in five persons swimming in the sea is drowned

B. if one with lifeguard were drowning, five persons without lifeguard would be

C. some 80% people drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguards

D. some 20% drowning by the currents are rescued by life guards

5.The passage mainly tells us       .

A. some safety tips when swimming in the sea

B. the happiness and excitement the beach offers

C. Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort

D. the dangers for tourists from land-locked regions to swim in the sea
