Miss Gorgers taught physics in a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation(解释). She said to them, “Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you and for what reason?” Tom at once answered, “Your brother. Because electricity travels faster than sound waves.” “That’s very good,” Miss Gorgers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gorgers said. “Yes, Kate.” “I disagree,” Kate said. “Your brother would hear you earlier because when it’s 11 o’clock here it’s only 8 o’clock in Los Angeles.”

26. Miss Gorgers was teaching her class_________.

For years I wanted a flower garden, but with five children I was too busy to have one. Money was limited（有限的）, and so was time. Often one of the children would want something that cost too much, and I would say, “Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”Finally, when all five had gotten through high school and college, and had started having their own families, I started thinking again about having a garden. However, I knew gardens cost money.

Then, one spring morning on Mother’s Day, as I was working in my kitchen, I heard cars drive by and looked out of the window to see a new tree planted in my yard. I couldn’t believe my eyes: it was a money tree! Dollar bills were stuck

all over that tree, and there was a note which read: “I owe you eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin.”

Marvin, my first son, kept his promise. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen-foot bed(花坛，花圃) for me. My other children bought me tools, a sunflower stepping stone(踏脚石) and gardening books. We built a garden together.

That was three years ago. My garden is now very pretty, and just what I’d always wanted. When I go out to weed or tend my flowers, I don’t seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels as if they were right there with me. When I think about what my children have done for me, I get tears in my eyes every time.

I’m still not sure whether money grows on trees. But I know love does! 31. Why had the author(作者) never had a flower garden before? _________

A. Because she had five children to take care of. B. Because she didn’t have enough time and money. C. Because her children wanted expensive things.

D. Because her children were going to high school and college. 32. Who helped the author build the garden at last? _________

A. Her neighbor. B. Her first son. C. Her husband. D. Her five children. 33. Why doesn’t she miss her children as much as she once did? _________

A. Because she has a big money tree. B. Because she has a very pretty garden.

C. Because she feels the love of her children in the garden. D. Because she is busy weeding or tending her flowers.

34. Which of the flowing statements is correct, based on the passage? _________

A. Money grows on trees only if you plant them with love.

B. The author built a pretty garden after her children had graduated from school.

C. The author actually wanted to have money grow on trees.

D. The children loved their mother so much that they helped her realize her dream.

35. The purpose of this passage is to tell us_________.

A. how to grow you own money tree B. the story of pretty garden C. the story of a money tree

D. a story of the love between a mother and her children 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Most of us live a busy life. 36 We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy”, or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?

Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings. 37 “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” And as Broderson explains，“Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend’s smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”

Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease(放松) your stress. Take me for example. 38 One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.

Thirdly, don’t take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them? 39 As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest(投资，花费) time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what’s in it for me? Happiness is found in putting other’s interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness（自私） is a dead-end street.” 40

A. I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.

B. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels. C. Driven by the “urgent”, we forget to enjoy life. D. So please treasure relationship.

E. You don’t need to travel far to find beauty. F. Be aware of beauty in nature.

G. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分） 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题l.5分，共30分)

高一上学期英语期中考试试题（不含听力）

第二部分： 阅读理解（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 (共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项，并把答案写在答题卡上相应位置。 A

As is known to us, Washington University in St. Louis became the first college in the United States to ban (禁止) selling bottled water in 2009. Since then, more than a dozen small colleges and schools have done the same. The ban isn’t because the schools don’t want students to have easy access to water. Instead, the goal is to encourage students to bring reusable bottles to save money and, more importantly, to save the environment.

Many people believe that producing and using bottled water not only wastes money but also harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. are among the best in the world. These people believe that water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access to filling stations are a better choice.

But the makers of bottled water argue that plastic bottles make up a small portion of the nation’s total waste. They say it’s unfair to single out (单独挑出) their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers, and what’s more, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that are also sold at school.

What do you think: Should sales of bottled water be banned from schools? We want to hear your opinion. Write a 200-word response. Send it to

tfkasks4you@timeforkids. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade level and contact information for your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline (截止时间) for responding is August 31, 2012.

21. Some colleges and schools ban selling bottled water in order to ____________.

A. save water

B. encourage students to bring water from home

C. reduce pollution D. keep students away from bottled water

22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Bottled water is healthier. B. Sodas and juices are of great harm.

C. Students think it unfair to ban selling bottled water.

D. The makers of bottled water are against banning selling bottled water.

23. The purpose of the passage is to __________.

A. ask for students’ opinions B. tell people a piece of news B

Friendship Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday in the month of August. People give their loved ones or friends friendship bracelets (手镯) and other gifts to celebrate their friendship. The culture of friendship bracelets is as old as even thousands of years.

After the World WarⅡ, the paracord(伞绳) bracelets became very popular. These were also known as survival bracelets. One of the main reasons is that it was often used for a rescue purpose. Paracord, used in the parachute(降落伞), does not wear away(磨损) easily and is strong and durable. Because of its light weight, people could carry it along easily. If required, it could be made a very long rope and be used as a rescue rope. Hunters used it to find their way that they could return without getting lost.

Today there are all kinds of paracord bracelets, made of coloured strings. Girls like thinner and colourful bracelets. Many choose to make the bracelets by themselves for their dear friends. This not only appeals more to the feelings of people but also makes them know how much their friends mean to them. People keep

C. call on students to save the environment D. wish more schools to ban selling bottled water

the bracelets given by their friends long. Many people choose coloured strings keeping the depth of their friendship in mind. White, yellow, orange and red show the different levels of friendship. Pure friendship is shown in white; the red colour means love. An orange friendship bracelet is given to show strong friendship and yellow as simple friendship. Today, not only do the young people sport(显示) these friendship bracelets, but even the old do.

Does friendship have an age? Yes. Friendship is like the wine, and the older you get, the older and stronger your friendship is.

24. What is the main reason for paracord bracelets becoming popular?

A. They can bring you good luck. B. They are colourful and beautiful. C. They can be used as rescue ropes. D. They are used in the parachute.

25. What does the underlined word “durable” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Beautiful. C. Important.

B. Long-lasting.

D. Expensive.

26. We can learn from the passage that __________.

A. Friendship Day is the first day of August B. hunters used Paracord to catch animals C. few girls like thinner and colourful bracelets D. many people make the bracelets by themselves

27. This passage mainly tells readers __________. C

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some

A. the culture of friendship bracelets B. the importance of friendship C. how to celebrate Friendship Day D. the friendship bracelet is a good gift

forms—football, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often

looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others,

as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think

that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is

probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

28. What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?

A. Skiing and skating. C. Cycling and hockey.

B. Soccer and golf. D. Mountaineering.

29. We know from the passage that _________.

A. mountaineering has no appeal for people

B. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers C. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps

D. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty

30. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Sports in winter

B. Mountaineering

D. The quality for

C. Team work in climbing

mountaineering

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并把答案写在答题卡上相应位置。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Improve your memory

Some people often complain about their poor memory. Actually there are several ways to keep your memory sharp. This article will show you some simple tips.

31 . When you say these things, you begin to plant the thought in your mind and it may become true. Tell yourself you can remember anything as long as you put your mind to the task. You will see an improvement in your memory.

32 . If you have trouble remembering phone numbers or other blocks of numbers, it can be really helpful to try this method. If you remember them in smaller groups, like two or three digits(数字), it will also be much easier to remember the number.

Be sure to see a doctor if you really are losing your memory. A poor memory can be a sign that you are in low spirits. 33 .

Playing games also helps improve your memory. Any type of games that involves(涉及) remembering things is wonderful. 34 . Try and remember it when you have nothing better to do. A useful tip for anyone interested in games is to often work on solving word puzzles and similar types of games. 35 . Not only will your memory probably improve, you will also have a great deal of fun. A. Take a right attitude.

B. Remember numbers in small groups.

C. Stop telling yourself you have a weak memory.

E. If you don’t like games, you can go over a list of “to do things”. F. If so, treating it could be the key to getting your memory back.

G. Such games use the same skills needed to remember facts and help keep the mind sharp.

“I didn’t hear them call my name.” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) when she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready?” is what she heard. Then she said, “I shook my head no, and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again.”

It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old

high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana—she was still on cloud nine.

“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen.” Present in the audience that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.

AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete. “She’s always been my role model. I’ve danced with her since I was six. She’s been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I’ve learned to get over bad life’s experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”One of those bad life’s experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18.

As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, together with many other things to help the teenagers.

When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don’t let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself.”

24.The underlined words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “very______”? A. Frightened B. Happy C. troubled D. angry

25.Shelley takes her dance teacher as a role model mainly because she is _______. A. determined B. friendly C. strict D. experienced

26. What did Shelley often do after she become Miss Louisiana Teen? A. She made speeches on safe driving.

B. She often gave dance performances. C. She usually visited drunken drivers. D. She helped teens with their students.

27.What suggestion does Shelley give to AT’s teen readers? A. Have a good role model for themselves. B. Meet their friends whenever it’s possible. C. Always be nice to themselves and others. D. Be themselves with the support of others. C

We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head angrily and started yelling bad words at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean , he was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” And this was what my taxi driver told me which, I call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’

Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump（倾卸） it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy you did.

So this was it: “The Law of the Garbage Truck.” I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, “I’m not going to do it anymore.”

I began to see garbage trucks. I see the load they’re carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my Taxi Driver, I don’t make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, and move on.

Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly they can get back their focus on what’s important.

1.Who acted like a garbage truck in the first two paragraphs? A. The writer. B. The taxi driver.

C. The black car driver. D. None of them.

2. The driver of the black car got angry because . A. he couldn’t control his car B. he met with a garbage truck

C. the taxi driver made a mistake D. he was in a bad mood

3. When saying “I’m not going to do it anymore” in paragraph 4, the writer meant he’d no longer .

A. see garbage trucks B. dump garbage on others

C. have garbage dumped on him D. be a garbage truck himself

4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Try to be good leaders as well as good parents. B. Ignore unpleasantness and stick to your tasks. C. Being kind and hard-working throughout our life. D. Do things quickly so as to be ready for the next. D

Teenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important.It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientists Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “First, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier.”

Dr. Lopez suggests that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. “Inactive” mean that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.

According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger,” said Dr. Lopez. The same principle applies to active teenagers.

Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr. Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person’s strength.

32. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Active people always have a high fitness level. B. Overweight people always take more exercise. C. Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight. D. Keeping fit means changing teenagers’ lifestyle.

33. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important?

A. It can make the teenagers grow taller. B. It can help teenagers become healthier. C. It can help to burn up calories. D. It can increase teenagers’ strength.

34. In order to prevent injuries, you should do some _______ exercises. A. walking

B. stretching and bending C. riding

D. weight-training

35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Doing exercises. B. Teenagers’ Fitness. C. Different lifestyles. D. Overweight Teenagers.

“Smart” Idioms

Today we take a look at the word “smart”. If someone says you are smart, what do they mean? Is it a good thing or something bad? 36 This is because the word smart has many meanings. ●That smarts!

For example, someone could say you look smart or are dressed smartly. That means they like what you are wearing and your physical appearance. To use a slang（俚语）expression, they could say, “You look really cool!” But if something smarts, it can be unkind or hurtful, either physically or mentally. If you accidentally trip over a chair and fall down, you might shout, “Ow! That smarts!” Or if a friend says something that hurts your feelings, you can say you are smarting from the hurtful comment. 37 . ●Smarting

If you are standing too close to a campfire, you could say your eyes are smarting

from the smoke of the fire. Here the word “smarting” means a sharp pain. 38 If someone is smart as whip, they are able to think very quickly. ●Street smart and book smart

39 Some people are considered street smart. They may not have a strong education. But they are good at dealing with people and problems in the real world. Other people might be book smart. This means they have spent many years in school. But they may not be so smart when dealing with people or real-world problems. ●Don’t get smart with me!

And then there is the definition of smart that means to talk or behave disrespectfully. If you say something disrespectful to your parents, they might say, “Don’t get smart with me!” Here, “smart” means to show a lack of respect by saying something unkind. In fact, a child who has a smart mouth makes rude comments, not smart ones. This definition of smart can also be used as a verb. 40

A. Do they really mean you are smart?

B. People have different attitude toward being smart

C. However, different people have different ways of being smart. D. In fact, maybe that person is no longer you friend. E. The answer is not as easy as you might think.

F. But the most common meaning of smart is to be intelligent.

G. If you smart off to the wrong people, they could hit you in the face. 第三部分 英语知识运用

Nine years ago around Christmas, I was on a Captiva Island beach at sunrise. I crouched low there and was lost in the false hope of finding a treasure larger than the small 41 on the shore.

A man ran slowly along the waves 42 my direction. When he came near me, he slowed to a walk. I didn’t 43 him until he was almost standing over me. Too young to be 44 of strangers, I got on my feet and looked at him. It was then

that I saw what was in his 45 , a beautiful bright cream-colored shell, the kind of thing that I was looking for. He smiled as I stared in 46 , and then, to my shock, he handed it to me. I held it 47 before me like a diamond, not 48 my eyes.

“I think you will like it,” he said, and then continued his 49 down the beach. I do not 50 his voice, his clothes or even his face, 51 I do still have the shell, and the greatest lesson I’ve ever 52 . Now the shell sits on my bedside table, not as 53 as it was, but it is 54 there, a reminder that there is quiet in the world.

That man saved my belief in the 55 of people, and he saved my belief that one can find what means something in life. I see my shell every day, and I know that I can 56 bad days because there are good things in my life. In the end, all that we have is 57 we have done for others. The shell is to me, as 58 as another man who returned to the plane to 59 me my lost jacket.

I know that 60 a difference in someone’s life, no matter how big or small, is what truly matters, and that it is worth all the treasure in the world.

If your head is overheating, you are likely to yawn(打哈欠) soon, according to a new study that has found the main purpose of yawning is to control brain temperature. The study explains several mysteries about yawning, such as why it’s most commonly done just before and after sleeping, why certain diseases lead to too much yawning, and why breathing through the nose often stops yawning.

“Brains are like computers,” Andrew Gallup, a researcher in the Department of Biology at Binghamton University who led the study, said. “They operate best when cool.”

He and his co-workers Michael Miller and Anne Clark did researches on yawning in parakeets(长尾小鹦鹉), which have relatively large brains, live wild in Australia, often experience temperature changes, and, most importantly, do not yawn when others yawn, as humans and some other animals do.

For the study, the scientists put parakeets under three different conditions: increasing temperature, high temperature and normal temperature. While the frequency(频率) of yawns did not increase under the latter two conditions, it

increased greatly when the researchers increased the temperature. It’s now believed yawning operates like a radiator(散热器).

If air in the atmosphere is cooler than the brain and body temperatures, taking it in quickly cools blood, which in turn cools the brain. The new findings also explain why tired people often yawn. Both tiredness and sleep loss can increase brain temperature, while yawning can cool down the brain.

In the future, researchers may focus more on brain temperature and its role in diseases and their symptoms. But the new study on yawning changes the popular idea that yawns are just signs of getting tired of something. 28. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Why don’t people yawn at normal temperature? B. Yawning operates like a radiator. C. The cause of yawning—finally found out. D. The yawn explained: it cools your brain.

29. The main reason why researchers chose parakeets to do the research is that parakeets______.

A. are not affected by others’ yawning B. live wild in Australia C. have very large brains

D. experience frequent temperature changes

30. The writer may suggest doing all of the following to stop yawning EXCEPT______. A. breathing through the nose

B. putting a cold towel on your forehead C. enjoying some cool wind D. turning up the heat

31. The passage suggests that _____.

A. parakeets never yawn at normal temperature

B. the idea that yawns are just signs of boredom is wrong. C. it is not normal for people to yawn after having a sleep D. the more frequently you yawn, the better you will feel.

D

Perhaps you sometimes feel like your teenager is from another planet. However, they’re your teenagers and there are steps you can take to better understand them.

The first step is to ask questions, but be strategic about it. Many teenager give yes or no answers when you ask them a question. The key is to attract their attention when they’re more likely to open up, such as when they aren’t with friends or running around. Driving in the car seems to be a good time if they don’t have headphones on.

When you ask questions, be sure to listen to the answers even if you don’t understand half of the words they’re using. It’s okay to ask them for explanations. As you’re listening, take notes in your mind. This will also come in handy for the next step.

The second step is to use Google if you have no idea what your children are talking about, Google the things they express interest in, the people, and even the language they use. The Urban Dictionary can be unbelievably useful.

The thirdly, you need to get involved(参与). That means taking, an active interest in your teenagers’ interests. Volunteer at local organizations or at activities that they’re involved in. Keep up with the things that they post and share on social media.

Lastly, relax. Each generation has their own trends(潮流), languages, and interests. When you were a teenager, your parents thought you were from another planet as well. It’s normal not to be able to completely understand your teenagers. So just let them know that you’re interested in their lives and then relax. You don’t need to be best friends with your teenagers, nor you need to share the same interests. It’s enough to just let them know that you care about what they’re up to and that you’ll always be there for them.

32. If parents want to ask their teenagers questions, they’re advised to _______. A. ask questions in appropriate situations B. chat with their teenagers on social media

C. learn more about their teenagers from friends D.allow their teenagers to explain themselves first

33. What does the underlined part “come in handy” in Paragraph3 probably mean? A. Be advised B. Be useful C. Be accepted D. Be easy to get

34.It can be inferred that the Urban Dictionary probably_____ A. is edited by Google B. is designed

C. collects the most difficult words D. explains the freshest words 35. In the last paragraph, the author stresses that parents______. A. should develop the same as their teenagers B. need to treat their teenagers as best friends C. need to exchange ideas with local schools D. should make their teenagers feel beloved

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Money Matters

Parents should help their children understand money. 36 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.

1. 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(收银员). 37 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex (复杂的) ways of using money .

2. Money lessons

Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 38 If you must say NO to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy cars for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”

3. 39

Begin at the grocery store(杂货店). Pick out two similar brands（商标）of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品)，for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. 40 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to buy another one with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for buying others.

A. Wise decisions B. The value of money

C. Tell your child why he can or can’t have certain things

D. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you E. Permit the child to choose between them

F. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest

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