Universal Orlando Resort in Florida is opening a Harry Potter theme park that will let fans visit many of the iconic(标志性的) locations in the Harry Potter books and movies.

    “The Wizarding(魔法) World of Harry Potter” is set to open at Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park in late 2009, complete with the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade village.

    “一The plans I've seen look incredibly exciting, and I don’t think fans of the books or films will be disappointed,” said author J.K.Rowling, who has been working with a creative team to  make sure the park resembles the books and films.

    “More than a dozen artists lead by Stuart Craig, the world best to ensure that level of authenticity(真实性),” she said.

    The park will let visitors view the famed locations in Rowling’s magical world, like Dumbledore’s office in Hogwarts and the shops in Hogsmeade. Some locations may be in upcoming books, Trowbridge said.

    Many tourists outside the theme park said the experience would boost its appeal to a younger audience.

    Brandon Wilson, a 15-year-old from Pleasant Hill, said he can’t get enough of Harry Potter．he has read every book and watched every movie.

“I hope we will be able to fly like Harry Potter,” Wilson said.

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.

The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.

In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, 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 are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.

The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances 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 house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.

Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. 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 services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.

Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.

77.For children who receive allowances, they’d better not ________.　　

 A. waste money to buy gifts for their parents or friends　　

 B. buy their favorite clothing or electronics for themselves　　

 C. save money like their parents or other adults　　

 D. ask for the next allowance before the decided date.

78．Many parents give children an allowance regularly to ______.　　

 A. meet children’s basic need for life        

B. give control over their children　　

 C. see whether they have financial mistakes  

D. help children learn how to manage money

79.If children are required to save their allowance, they ______.　　

 A. can experience three things related to money　　

 B. can understand the relation between goals and sacrifice　　

 C. will do more work around the house　　

 D. help themselves found the basis for their future life

80. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Be Generous to Pay Your Children

B. Be Wise to Avoid Financial Mistakes

C. Saving Allowances Does Good to Children

D. Allowances Help Children Learn about Money
