The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments—outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted.
1.A good title for this passage is ________.
A. A Clever Assistant
B. Buying a Birthday Present
C. How to Choose a Necklace
D. A Brave Young Man
2.When James told the assistant why he wanted to buy a present, his face ________.
A. turned paleB. turned red

3.James and Laura reached the shop at ________.

4.James would come back to buy what he wanted because_______.
A. the assistant knew how to satisfy the people who came to buy things

Parents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned. Still, many child-development experts agree that tying a child’s allowance to chores can be a slippery slope. Here’s why.
Susie Walton, master instructor at Peace in Your Home advises to keep chores and allowances totally separate. “Allowance is one thing. When it comes to chores, life skills, responsibilities－that’s a whole different thing.” says Walton.
Walton says, “When kids aren’t doing a chore, you don't say, ‘well, there goes your allowance.’ You’re going to sit them down and ask what’s going on. ‘We are a team. We are a family. We’ve got to have them done.’”
Besides, by paying children for chores with an allowance, you’ll also be sending the message that work isn't worth doing unless they’re getting paid for it.
There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for chores. Most financial and child-development experts agree that it’s a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores, such as washing windows, washing the car or helping to clean out the garage－especially if the child is saving for a big item. This may even develop an entrepreneurial (企业家的) spirit to think outside of the box to earn money.
For parents who are concerned that their children won’t learn the value of a dollar if the allowance isn’t tied to household chores, note that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a straight allowance. Depending on the age, kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks. Some parents even require that kids set aside a percentage of their allowance toward savings.
“I really like having my own money,” says Kevin, 9. “It’s up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy now, or save and get the better toy.” And that’s a good lesson to learn at 9 years old.
No matter which allowance route you take in parenthood, kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money.
1.Which of the following would Susie Walton most probably agree with?
A. A child’s allowance shouldn’t be tied to chores.
B. Kids shouldn’t be forced to do chores.
C. Doing chores teaches kids the value of work.
D. Kids should be paid for doing chores.
2.According to Susie Walton, if kids don’t do chores, parents should ______.
A. teach them the entrepreneurial spirit
B. talk to them about family responsibilities
C. give them a smaller allowance than usual
D. punish them by not giving them their allowances
3.What is the author’s attitude towards Kevin’s action?
A. Worried.B. Doubtful.C. Approving.D. Unfavorable.
4.The text is mainly about _____________.
A. the importance of kids doing chores
B. whether parents should pay kids for chores
C. the advantages of kids handling their own money
D. whether parents should give kids regular allowances

What were you doing before you started reading this? Were you fully focused on another article? Or eating breakfast? Organizing your day? Or were you staring out of the window, feeling restless and bored?
It is likely to have been the latter. Brief moments of boredom are universal, and are frequently what drives us to stop what we are doing and move to something that we hope will be more exciting.
But although boredom is common, it is neither unimportant nor favorable, according to Dr John Eastwood, a psychologist at York University, Toronto. Eastwood is the joint author of The Unengaged Mind, a major new paper on the theory of boredom.
Boredom, he points out in the paper, has been connected with overeating, depression, anxiety, and an increased risk of making mistakes. Mistakes at work might not be a matter of life and death for most of us, but if you are an air traffic controller, pilot or nuclear power plant operator, they most certainly can be.
Commercial polo Sami Franks confirms that boredom can make pilots lose attention. “When you fly a lengthy distance, there are two pilots, one of whom is monitoring all the screens while the other does the paperwork, talks to air traffic control and so on. You need to be alert(警觉的) for landing and takeoff, but once you’re 500 ft above the runway, the plane’s on autopilot(自动驾驶仪) and it can be very quiet and boring. In a study I saw of pilots who woke up after a short sleep. 30% of them reported seeing the other pilot asleep too,” said Franks.
However, Dr Esther Priyadharshini, a senior lecturer in education at the university of East Anglia, has studied boredom and says it can be seen in a positive light. “We can’t prevent boredom—it’s an unavoidable human emotion. We have to accept it and find ways to control it. We all need downtime. There’s no need to be fully busy with work at all times.” she says.
Children who complain that they have nothing to do on rainy holidays may try to find other things to focus on. The artist Grayson Perry has reportedly spoken of how long periods of boredom in childhood may have improved his creativity.
“We all need vacant time to mull(深思熟虑) things over,” says Priyadharshini.
1.We can learn from Eastwood that _______.
A. boredom can be potentially (潜在地) dangerous
B. air traffic controllers usually feel bored
C. brief moments of boredom are not common
D. making mistakes is a major cause of boredom
2.The study mentioned by Franks shows that ______.
A. pilots need to be alert for landing and takeoff
B. pilots must work well together when flying
C. boredom can make pilots lose attention
D. flying a plane is generally quite fun
3.Which of the following might be Perry’s opinion on boredom?
A. It often leads to failure.
B. It has a beneficial effect.
C. It is more likely to happen to children.
D. It makes children lose interest in learning.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A. Why am I so bored?
B. Is boredom bad for you?
C. Can I have your attention?
D. How can I get rid of boredom?

How to teach a child to respect
As a child grows out of being an infant and begins to notice and react to the world around him, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly impart (传授) all of the things that he needs to become a responsible, respectful adult. 1. A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others, but also learns to respect himself as well. Here are some instructions.
Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving him your full attention and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.
2. The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
Agree to disagree. 3. Explain your decision so that he will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn’t equate to disobedience (违抗).
Control your impulse (冲动) to overact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behaviour. 4.___
Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough. 5.___
A. Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.
B. Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you.
C. Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.
D. If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.
E. A child may act like he pleases, but will respect being given limits.
F. When you see your child exhibit respectful behaviour, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.
G. Setting a good example is the best way to start a child on the path to respect.
