Littleton Children’s Home

We don’t want your money, but children’s toys, books and clothes in good condition would be very welcome.

Also—we are looking for friendly families who would take our children into their homes for a few hours or days as guests. You have so much—will you share it?

In the winter weather, it’s no fun being homeless. It’s even worse if you’re hungry. We give hot food to at least fifty people every night. It’s hard work, but necessary. Can you come and help? If not, can you find a little money? We use a very old kitchen, and we urgently need some new saucepans. Money for new ones would be most welcome indeed.

Curiosity is at the heart of lifelong learning. It not only gives children an advantage in school, but today’s business leaders agree that it's also at the heart of successful organizations.

Psychologists view curiosity as a life force, vital to happiness, intellectual growth, and well-being. 1. It points students toward the knowledge, skills, relationships, and experiences that they need to live full and productive lives.

1. 2.

Often, the temptation（诱惑）is to benefit students when their curiosity leads to a desired outcome or good grade. But it’s more important to notice and strengthen curiosity when you see it in action. When you praise students by describing how their questions and explorations are contributing to their own or classroom learning, you let them know that they are valued for their motivation, regardless of the grade they achieve.

2. Teach students how to ask quality questions.

Quality questions are vital for curiosity; Google, is great at finding answers but doesn’t motivate the formation of questions. 3. An excellent book for understanding the art of questioning is A More Beautiful Question by Warren Berger.

3. Spread the curiosity around.

4. Curiosity is influential in groups working toward a real-world common goal, helping to inspire questions and new ideas.

4. Explore a variety of cultures and societies.

How is one culture or society uniquely different from another one? Encourage students to explore their genetic or emotional links to other cultures. 5.

A. Value and reward curiosity.

B. Teach students to be critical.

C. Good questions contain “why,” “what if,” and “how”.

D. Why do they relate to certain beliefs or values that other societies hold?

E. The greatest advantage of curiosity lies in its power to motivate learning.

F. Create opportunities for more curious and less curious students to work together in learning.

G. How can students create a new poem, science experiment or product from their explorations?

高二英语七选五困难题查看答案及解析

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.

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.

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 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.

Allowances give children a chance to experience the 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 and maybe even invest (投资) it.

Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest (利息). That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.

1. Parents give their children allowance to ________.

A. show off their wealth　

B. let them make more money

C. let children manage family finance

D. learn the value of money

2. Why are parents advised not to offer young children more money in advance?

A. To show them how to make a budget.

B. To save money for larger costs.

C. To let children make fewer mistakes

D. To give them more allowance next time.

3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Children need not save their allowance.

B. Saving can help children plan future finance.

C. Children can buy everything with their allowance.

D. All children must have a savings account.

4. The author intends to ________.

A. make parents aware of the children’s allowances

B. show the methods of investing

C. give advice on how to save money

D. introduce the advantages of allowances

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. 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.

Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.

Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn 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.For children who receive allowances, they’d better not ________.　　

A. waste money to buy gifts for their parents or friends　　

B. buy their favorite clothing or electronics for themselves　　

C. save money like their parents or other adults　　

D. ask for the next allowance before the decided date.

2.Many parents give children an allowance regularly to ______.　　

A. meet children’s basic need for life

B. give control over their children　　

C. see whether they have financial mistakes

D. help children learn how to manage money

3.If children are required to save their allowance, they ______.　　

A. can experience three things related to money　　

B. can understand the relation between goals and sacrifice　　

C. will do more work around the house　　

D. help themselves found the basis for their future life

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Be Generous to Pay Your Children

B. Be Wise to Avoid Financial Mistakes

C. Saving Allowances Does Good to Children

D. Allowances Help Children Learn about Money
