  Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance （pocket money）.The purpose is to let children learn from experiences 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 a choice 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. Requiting children to save part of their allowances 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.

71．Giving an allowance，parents should consider all the following EXCEPT________．

      A．how much the child should get each time

      B．whether the child has made a budget

      C．where the money really goes

      D．how often a child can get it

73．The author of the passage holds the opinion that_________．

      A．what children learn by handling allowances may be beneficial in the future

      B．children can learn to set up their own business with their allowances.

      C．keeping allowances in the bank is the best choice for children

      D．it is not a good idea to pay children to do housework at home

      C．money paid by the bank on your original money and the gain from it
