24、Dear Tommy,
I’m writing to you on your third birthday. I want to tell you something about your grandma’s time. I was born sixty-eight years ago in a small village.
Transportation used to be a big problem. When we traveled from village to village, we used to walk or ride horses.
Shopping was not an easy job, either. There were no supermarkets in the neighborhood. We used to grow most of our own food: rice and vegetables. We kept things cool in a special underground room.
The biggest difference is that you have electricity. We didn’t have electricity until very late in our small village. We didn’t have any televisions of course. We used to perform our local(地方的)music and enjoy it very much.
Life used to be very hard, but I was not upset. I would like you to know about the old days and be happy about what you have when you grow up. Remember, feeling good about life is the key to happiness.
Love,
Your grandma

26、A mindset is the way of thinking.Your mindset can affect almost every part of your daily life. Dr. Carol Dweck, a scientist who studies how the mind works, has discovered that people with a fixed (固定的) mindset deal with problems in a different way from those with growth mindset.
Imagine that two students, Anna and Amy, are taking a really hard math test in September. Anna has a fixed mindset, everything is easy for you. Amy has a growth mindset, which means she believes that your intelligence can grow. Not everyone can become a genius, but they can improve the skills they have and develop new ones.
So which is right? It’s Amy. Believe it or not, research shows that you really can get smarter by working hard, practicing, and challenging yourself.
As you know, your brain is made up of billions of neurons (神经元). They are all connected and send messages to each other. Scientists have found that when we learn, neurons make new connections and old connections grow stronger. But if connections aren’t used, they will break down. So, learning is like exercise for your brain. The more you work it out, the stronger and smarter your network of neurons will become.
According to Dr. Carol Dweck’s studies, people with a fixed mindset worry about grades. They’re afraid of looking stupid when they make mistakes. People with a growth mindset care about learning not grades. They learn from their mistakes and try to find different ways of solving problems. They ask for help when necessary. In only two years, babies learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They never worry about looking stupid when learning. If they make mistakes, they just try again.
Dweck’s team also discovered that, with some work, kids can choose to have a growth mindset. They can do better in school. The trick is to notice what mindset you have. If you ever think yourself stupid, it’s not true. You just have not learned how to do something yet.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE about neurons?
A.Learning is not always helpful to them.
B.All of them are connected to each other.
C.They only make new connections when we study.
D.The connections among them will never break down.
【2】What might a man with a growth mindset agree about?
A.I will look foolish when I make mistakes in study.
B.If you are smart enough, you can do everything easily.
C.The mindset plays the most important role in people ‘s life.
D.Everyone can get smarter by working hard and practicing more.
【3】The writer gives the example of babies in Paragraph 5 to show that babies ________.
A.learn new skills from mistakes
B.easily make mistakes in daily life
C.learn skills faster than older people
D.have fewer worries than older people
【4】How did the writer develop his main idea?
A.By listing numbers.
B.By telling true stories.
C.By comparing the differences.
D.By showing reasons and results.
27、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 (财务的) mistakes are not very costly.
How much money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish is quite different 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 (预算). Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget requires 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 children for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do other 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 do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
Saving helps children understand that costly goals sometimes need to give up something. You have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring 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 saving account (账户) is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest (复利息).
Compounding works by paying interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will get two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot, but over time it adds up.
【1】 Parents give their children allowance in order to ______.
A. let them make more money
B. pay for the housework they do
C. let them learn the value of money
D. help children manage family finance
【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The time to give allowance.
B. The way to spend allowance.
C. How much allowance given to children.
D. Considerations taken to give allowances.
【3】Why are parents advised to offer children allowances as planned?
A. To have children save money for larger costs.
B. To give them more allowances next time.
C. To help children learn to make a budget.
D. To let children make fewer mistakes.
【4】What does the writer try to tell us?
A. The ways of limiting allowances.
B. The advice on a better family budget.
C. Offering allowance to children properly.
D. Teaching children to use allowances wisely.
