Every childwants to have pocket money(零花钱). Why do their parents just give them some money?
The amount of money that parents give to their children differs from family to family. Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money.
First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what they expect their children to buy with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time.
In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts(专家) think it not wise to pay the children for doing that.
Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.
| A．Some children are not good at managing their pocket money. |
| B．As helping at home is a normal part of family life. |
| C．Learning how to get money is very important for every child. |
| D．By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget（预算）. |

The right pair of exercise shoes can do a lot to prevent discomfort, personal trainers say. Here are shopping tips:
Depending on exercise types, shoes designed for walking, running tennis and so on.
Shop when you normally exercise. Feet actually get bigger throughout the day, sometimes swell up by nighttime.
Never buy a pair of shoes based only on the size of footwear you normally buy. Bring the types of socks you’d wear to exercise and go for a walk through the store.
Talk to an expert. Shoe salesmen and personal trainers can study your stride (步伐)and the shape of your feet.
Many trainers recommend taking the place of exercise shoes three to five months .
| A．Think about how much you can afford to buy the exercise shoes. |
| B．Consider your kind of exercise. |

| A．Think while you are reading B．Select a proper material C．Five suggestions for achieving better results D．Read loudly E．Read on F．Use a dictionary at a right time |
Effective reading should adopt a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less. Here are some hints for reading effectively.( )
Don’t choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read. A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly. To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often. .A too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help. The two extremes may at last make you give up reading. So it’s better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page.( )
If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary at once.Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text. This ability is quite necessary in reading. If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”, and your interest in reading is well encouraged. If a word really prevents you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then. I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its “troublesome image”.( )
To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas. Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive. This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors. Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing.( )
Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English. Don’t merely take English as a “test”. Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning. Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like. Try to read them as loudly as you can. During this process, not only you can enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved.( )
The last but not the least, keep on reading. If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining.

How you calm yourself before giving a speech? Both modern research and centuries of experience from experienced public speakers suggest some practical advice._____
Know to whom you’ll be speaking, and learn as much about your audience as you can. The more you can anticipate the kind of reaction your listeners will have to your speech, the more comfortable you’ll be in delivering your message. Be audience-centered rather than speaker-centered._____
You will feel less nervous if you talk about something you are familiar with or have some personal experience of. Your comfort with the subject of the speech will be reflected in your delivery._____
The better prepared you are, the less anxiety you will experience. Being prepared means that you have researched your topic and practiced your speech several times before you deliver it._____
You are likely to feel the most anxious during the opening moments of your speech. Therefore, it is a good idea to have a clear plan for how you will start your speech. Being familiar with your introduction will help you feel more comfortable about the entire speech. If you know how you will end your speech, you will have a safe harbour in case you lose your place. If you need to end your speech ahead of time, a well-delivered conclusion can permit you to make a graceful exit.____
One of the symptoms(症状) of nervousness is a change in your breathing and heart rates. Nervous speakers tend to take short, shallow breaths. To help break the anxiety—reduce breathing pattern, consider taking a few slow deep breaths before you rise to speak.

__________________
Advertising is a highly developed twentieth-century industry．The development of radio, television, cinema, magazines and newspapers has gone hand in hand with the development of advertising．Why is advertising so popular? Is it a waste of money? It has been proved again and again that repeated advertising increases product sales．Since it increases production, the price can be reduced．Therefore advertising, instead of making a product more expensive, makes it cheaper．______________________
What can you advertise ? You can advertise products of all kinds, such as shoes or umbrellas, or services like car repairs and travel．In Europe and USA political leaders often use recorded TV advertisements to persuade people to vote for them．Besides broadcast advertisements on radio and TV, there are other ways to advertise : cinemas,magazines and newspapers, for example．Large boards can be used for printed posters,especially near main roads．A sign outside or inside a shop is a form of advertising．Balloons and light planes can be used to pull huge signs as they fly slowly over a city．________________
Advertising is now a scientific business．Once managers would say jokingly, " I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don't know which half．" Now, all parts of an advertising programme are properly measured and researched．_________________
How are advertisements made? A company goes to an advertising firm to discuss the advertising of its product．The firm collects as much information as possible about product and the consumers who might buy it．The person at the advertising firm in charge of the matter then holds a meeting．Also present will be a person who thinks up an idea for an advertisement, and a person who will buy space in the newspapers or time on TV．There will be a writer writing the text for the advertisement and a designer who will design it, using pictures or photographs or the text．_________________
When the advertisement is ready, it is shown to the company．If the company agrees, they may try it out in a small part of the country to see if product sales increases as a result of the advertisement．If they do, then it will be used throughout the country．If the advertisement fails, the whole program will be reviewed．Researchers will go out and interview possibles customers to find out the reasons for this failure．
