听力原文: Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. Parents often give their children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
A child may receive an allowance each week or each month. The amount is not so important. But 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 should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be paid.
Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.
And paying children to do extra work around the house 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 with others. 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.

Parents should also be careful what they say to young children.According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”

听力原文: My parents ran a small restaurant. The restaurant was opened 24 hours a day, seven days a week. [32] And my first job when I was six years old was shining shoes for customers. My duties increased as I grew older. By age of ten I was cleaning tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. [33] I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. [34] One day I made a mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me 10 pounds a week. He said, "OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring in your friends for free drinks?" [35] He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.

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.
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.
Though jobs at home for young children are a normal part of family life, paying children to do extra work around the house 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.

听力原文:W: I have heard that you are going to California next week. What for?
M: One of my cousins is getting married there; my family is invited.
W: Wow, that's big news. (22)What are you going to get for your cousin?
M: I've no idea, and that's what is troubling me these days. You know, Jasmine is hard to please.
W: No wonder you look worried. So, what about your study? You should know that the final exams are coming. Don't you worry about that?
M: Actually, I don't. (23) There are still four weeks to go, and I will have three weeks to review my lessons after I come back.
W: You are leaving for a whole week? That's a quite long time, especially in this period. I always get nervous while having exams, and I can't sleep well the nights before exams. I think I should go to the doctor's.
M: Well, we are quite different in that. I think it is just because you think of the exams too much and pay too much attention to the results. You should relax and take a little time off.
W: I wish I could. (24) You know, my parents have high expectations of me and they have done so much for me...
M: Oh, that all depends on how you think of it. Parents' love shouldn't be your burden. You tried your best, and that's what counts. Your parents will surely understand you. Take it easy. (25) Talk to your parents; it may help.
W: Thank you for your advice. I'll give it a try.
