Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance.  71 

The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration.  72 Others get a monthly allowance.

In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the children is expected to pay for with the money.

  73 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.  74 

Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money.  75 They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.

A．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause.

B．The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.

C．They are not less likely to make mistakes.

D．Some children get a weekly allowance.

E. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.

F. Their parents will teach them a hard lesson.

G. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.

Forget the past and don’t cling to(紧紧抓住) the future:  4  If you cannot forget mistakes and missed opportunities from the past, you probably find you blame yourself all the time. Clinging to the future is a bad one, too. It truly may never happen. So pay more attention to the present .

Why Is Exercise Cool?

Exercise strengthens Muscles

Did you ever do a push-up or swing across the monkey bars at the playground? 1.   By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make them stronger. For older teens and adults, this kind of workout can make muscles bigger, too.

2.  

Can you touch your toes easily without yelling ouch? Most kids are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stretch their bodies without much trouble. Being flexible is having “full range of motion” , which means you can move your arms and legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.

 Exercise Keeps the Balance

3.   Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function, breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff. 4.   If you’re not very active, your body won’t need as many calories. Whatever your calorie need is, if you eat enough to meet that need, your body weight will stay about the same. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as extra fat.

 Exercise Makes You Feel Good

It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy---like running, jumping, and playing with your friends. It’s also fun to be good at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a home run, or perfecting a dive.

But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood.5.   It’s just another reason why exercise is cool!

A．So you want to do some aerobic(有氧的) exercise right now?

B. Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy.

C. When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical, which may make you feel happier.

D. Those are exercises that can build strength.

E. Exercise Makes You Flexible

F. Exercise Makes Your Heart Happy

G. But if you’re active, your body needs an extra measure of calories or energy.

         When you are hungry, what will you respond? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?   1.   But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, or “Why can’t I think?”
