I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing the worst tricks．I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade．I have written a lot of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade：A Consumer Survival Guide．And I really do what I believe in．I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth．I'm also tightfisted（小气的） when it comes to shoes，clothes for my children，and expensive restaurants．But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut．It keeps its longer，and it's the first thing people notice．And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture．Quality lasts．

12．Imagine this； your child has just been involved in an emergency．You call 911．The medical workers rush in and begin asking you questions as they work to rescue your child．But they also ask questions about your child's medical history．It's hard to think clearly．You begin to answer and then end up saying，"I don't remember．I don't know．"So many doctors suggest that parents keep handy a record of their children's important healthy facts．This can often help the medical team make a better and more rapid diagnosis of a problem at a time when time really counts．
The most important information to know is the child's allergies（过敏）．It is especially crucial if the child is allergies to any medicine----peniclin，for example．Food allergies can come into play，so make a note of those as well．Children who have been hospitalized in the past may have developed latex（胶乳） allergies．Often this information can help emergency workers find a cause for problems like breathing difficulties．
Keep a list of any medicine，including what your child is now taking．Some medicines can cause adverse reaction when they are taken together，so the doctors need this information before they give your child anything．You'll need to know when the child took the medicine last and how much was taken．
It is also important to tell emergency workers about any health problem or illness that your child has had．These pre-existing conditions can have a huge effect on the type of tests and treatment in an emergency．Consider having any child who has a health problem wear a tag around his neck．This kind of rapid notice can help doctors who are providing emergency care，especially if your child suddenly becomes ill at day care，school or a friend's house．

21．What's the function of the example in paragraph 1．？B
A．To tell us what we should do in an emergency．
B．To tell us the importance of keeping a record of children's health facts
