Music

Little Red
Katy B
Katy B has clearly made it to the world stage since the release of her 2011 debut (首次) album On a Mission. Three years later, she’s fully established herself as a dance floor singer. On her new album Little Red, the 24-year-old British singer sounds more confident and assured, and finds meaningful connections in club-friendly songs with real heart.

Here’s to the Good Times
Florida Georgia Line
The debut album of the US country duo (两人搭档) was released in late 2012, but it didn’t gain popularity until almost a year later when the single (单曲) Cruise became a chart-topping hit. The song is certainly excellent for its catchy chorus and overall country/rock sound, but the rest of the album is also full of energy and emotion.
Games

Toca Cars
The new gaming app made by children’s app developer Toca Boca is just as fun for adults. It’s simple to pick up and play. Players choose a racer and then start steering (操舵) it around a virtual environment simply by touching the screen. The game also allows players to create the racing ground from scratch (白手起家) by placing buildings and objects.

Jet Car Stunts 2
The free gaming app by True Axis is the long-awaited sequel to the physics-based racing and stunt (绝技) car game that was a hit way back in 2009 in the App Store. This new installment expands on the original game with new tracks, cars, and game modes that are both fun and addictive.

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. Parents often give their children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
A child may receive an allowance each week or each month. The amount is not so important.  But parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money.
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be given.
Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.
Many people who have written on the subject say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the home, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer free savings accounts for young people with small amounts of money.
【小题1】The functions of allowances given to children are the following EXCEPT ______.

A.they can save more money for their future business
B.they can give them to charities
C.they may spend them on what they like
D.they can learn to deal with money
【小题2】The underlined word "sacrifice" in the last paragraph means "_____".
A.牺牲B.计划C.选择D.放弃
【小题3】What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Children should save part of their allowance.
B.Don’t pay your child for work around the home.
C.Allowance helps teach children early about money.
D.Parents should allow children to spend money as they wish.
【小题4】How many advantages of saving has the passage mentioned?
A.2 B.3 C.4D.5
【小题5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Children are advised to buy anything they wish to with the allowance.
B.Parents should offer children more money if they spend all of their allowance soon after they get it.
C.It can be useful to pay children to do extra work around the home.
D.It is unnecessary for the children to save part of the allowance.
