　　Hank Viscardi was 26 years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes. For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be--five feet eight inches tall.

　　Hank had been born without legs. Until he was seven, his world was a world of repeated operations. At last he had no legs,but stumps（残肢）that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.

　　Out of the hospital, Hank often found people staring at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him “Ape Man” because his arms dragged（施）on the ground.

　　He went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve.

　　After graduation, Hank worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, Hank had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair.

　　Hank felt himself go cold all over.However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs.

　　Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror and saw himself for the first time, five feet eight inches tall.

　　But this was not the end yet. He had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed the stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.

　　When World War II came, he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, the man without legs.

American parents usually think that their children should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects, even if they are wealthier. But neither are children expected to compare with the richer if a large family, heavy responsibility (责任) or other conditions make it necessary to give a child less spending money than customary (惯例) in the neighbourhood．

　　Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by the parents, because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself. If a seven-year-old child get a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he gets no idea what the real use for the money is. He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear. The idea of a bank account (账号) is too early for so small a child, although he can be made to understand and enjoy saving his coins-not all of the, only a part of what he receives-to buy something he especially wants. By the time he is eight, he is old enough to take part in the opening of his own saving account, parents take him to the bank, open a saving account for him, and encourage him to put a certain quantity of any checks he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his hank savings grow as entry by entry (存入) is made. He will he saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favourable position with his friends. The boy who can't join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while, because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown projects his parents have chosen for him, is a sorry child．

(1)What do you think a piggy bank is?

[　　]

A．It is a kind of bank run by children.

B．It is something in the shape of a pig for saving coins.

C．It is a certain place in which pig are raised．

D．It is a bank whose building looks like a pig.

(2)Which of the following statements is true?

[　　]

A．Most of the rich people in American give children much pocket money.

B．American children usually have their bank accounts until they are eight.

C．American parents seldom care for their children's spending money.

D．American children begin to learn how to manage money when very young.

(3)Suppose an 8-year-old child received 10 dollars as his birthday gift, he may probably ________.

[　　]

A．spend the money on the things he wants

B．compare the gift with that of his friend

C．have most of it saved in the bank

D．put all the money in his piggy bank

(4)The writer think the boy is a sorry one if he saves every cent he gets or earns because ________.

[　　]

A．he can not manage his money and is kept in an unfavourable position

B．he can not join the fellows in a sweet shop once in a while

C．he can not learn the use of money through spending it himself

D．he can not have any other choice but save, earn or spend money
