26、Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money.【1】 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have.
If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier. 【2】 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 【3】 If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “ You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
【4】
Begin at the grocery store with your child. Pick out two similar brands of a product. 【5】 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for another purchases.
A.Wise decisions.
B.The way of choice.
C.Permit him to choose between them.
D.Tell your child why he can — or cannot — have certain things.
E.Ask them what things that cost money are most important to them.
F.Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G.One of the wisest things you can possibly do is to choose the best time.
27、Holidays matter. They are a chance to step away from everyday life and reconnect with the people we love; a time to relax, to be the real us, or indeed to be whoever we want to be. And once the sand has been washed from the toes, holidays can leave us with a suitcase of life-long happy memories.
Yet today in the UK at least 1.46 million families can’t afford a single day out together, let alone a holiday night away from home. Millions of British children this year won’t get to paddle (划船) in the sea, or build a sandcastle. Nothing to report when they return to school in September. No happy memories to help them improve their learning and behaviour.
That’s why the Family Holiday Association (FHA) exists. It is the only national charity that devotes itself to helping struggling families enjoy precious time together. Many are dealing with severe illness, poverty, disability, poor mental health and so on. They are referred to the Association. This work is often done by the professionals such as teachers, social workers, and doctors.
The Family Holiday Association was founded 43 years ago by Pat and Joan Laurance, who were unemployed with a young, sick child, living in a single room. A friend offered them a week in a flat on the Essex coast in return for cat-sitting. They fed the cat. They walked on the bench. They laughed and paddled.
And guess what? After a few days of enjoying fun they came home with new-found energy to face whatever life might throw at them. The Laurances determined that other struggling families should also gain the benefits of a simple holiday and the charity was born. Since then more than 120,000 parents and children have been able to enjoy a break happily, usually a few days by the British seaside.

29、A flood can develop slowly, over time or rapidly, as in the case of flash floods which can develop in just a few minutes and without signs of rain.
【1】 This is the first thing that a person should do. It is unwise to just depend on history to decide whether your area is at risk of flooding.
Create an evacuation plan in case you have to evacuate your home. Pay attention to the safe areas you can go to. Prepare food kits for natural disasters that you can easily take with you if you have to leave your house. 【2】
If there is a possibility of a flash flood, leave your home and move to higher ground at once. Do not wait for instructions to move. Evacuation may also cause a shortage in the food supply. 【3】 To survive, one must depend on food storage.
While evacuating, avoid walking through moving water. Even six inches of moving water can make you fall. If you have to walk in water, walk where the water is not moving. 【4】
Do not drive into flooded areas. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon (舍弃) the car and move to higher ground, when water is not moving or not more than a few inches deep. 【5】 If your car is trapped in rapidly moving water, stay in the car. If the water is rising inside the car, move on to the roof (顶部).
A.They don’t know where to look for shelter.
B.You and the car can be swept away quickly.
C.Use a stick to check the ground in front of you.
D.Be aware if the area you’re at is at risk of a flood.
E.There is no telling when another flood may happen.
F.It would help to store food for emergency situations.
G.During these conditions, hunger becomes a very real problem.

When I was laid off (失业)in 2015, I told people about it the way any young people would: by tweeting it. My hope was that someone in my social network would point me to potential opportunities.
To my surprise, the"strategy"worked. Shortly after my public plea for employment, a friend of a friend sent me a Facebook message alerting me to a(an)【1】 in her department. Three rounds of interviews later, this acquaintance became my boss(She’s now one of my closest friends)
Think of the parents you see in the drop-off one(下客区)at school. Your favorite waiter. The other dog owners at the park. Sociologists(杜会学家) call these relationships “weak ties.” Not only can these connections affect our job prospects(前景) but they can also have a positive impact on our 【2】.
Maintaining the network of acquaintances can help you feel more 【3】. The desire to belong and form social attachments is a basic human need, alongside food, sleep and safety But once we hit 25, the number of friends we have 【4】 and becomes smaller over time, according to a 2016 study. As we get older and priorities【5】from after-work bowling league to after-school pickup, maintaining a loaded social 【6】 becomes less important. Staying socially engaged, then, is integral to personal fulfillment.
Besides, having at east a few acquaintances can connect us with a larger circle of people, which is fantastic news, say for job hunters. Even if our friends want to help us find a job, the weak ties are often the ones who 【7】 the job-search playing field.
Those acquaintances also provide us with a wider worldview. Regularly interacting with people who have different experiences than we do allows us to be more mindful of others' circumstances. This, in turn, 【8】 empathy(同感能力)
Still, casual friends have a lot to offer. Uncovering surprising tidbits(花边新闻) about the regular players in one’s life---【9】 that your neighbor is an accomplished dancer, for instance----can spice up your day.
So next time you see a friendly face when you're out and about, you might as well try to【10】 pleasantries(寒暄).
