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. 1. 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). 2. 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. 3. 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. 4.
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. 5. 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. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
B. The value of money
C. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest
D. Permit the child to choose between them

It's true that many dads in the wild aren't interested in parenting, but there are some that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start. Maybe one of these dads will make you remember your own dad!
The male giant water bug doesn’t seem to mind a heavy load on his back for his kids. The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male, and then she leaves. Once the female is gone, the male has to look after the eggs. It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch. The father giant water bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water. All this time he can't fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly on his back.
Now let's turn to the male stickleback fish. When the mother leaves after laying her eggs, the father tends his young. If the young fish go too far away, their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back in his mouth. The male stickleback looks after all his young — as many as 100 — until they can live on their own.
A similar example can be found in emperor penguins living in cold areas. The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until it hatches. For about 62 to 67 days, the egg stays on top of the father's feet, in very cold temperatures that drop down to -39℃. As a result, the father may lose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin to be born!
1.What do we know about the giantwater bug?
A. It is unable to fly.
B. The eggs grow on the father's back.
C. The male must keep still to hatch the eggs.
D. The female looks after her eggs together with the male.
2.During the hatching period, the male emperor penguin ________.
A. is unable to eat
B. is fed by the female
C. tries to lose some weight
D. can't stand the cold weather
3.What is the best title for the text?
A. Mr. Moms in the Wild
B. Animals Do Have Feelings
C. Nature Loves Us like Our Dad
D. Childbirth in the Animal Kingdom
