20、r us.And then comes the unforgettable occasion- a night club in another town, through whichwe learned a lotabout a typical Aussie life. It is really, really a dream place for elderlypeopleto whileaway the time. From the figure games, from the stage performance,from the smiles,from the laughter,from

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
26、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 al
27、lowance 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. Ol
28、der 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
29、 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 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 w
30、ant. Or they can save and maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future.40.

31、uy what they want C. let them learn the value of money D. help children learn to save at an early age41.

The amount of money that parents give to their children.B. How often they should give their children an allowance. C. Spending must be done within a budget.D.

37、g. Once the water is heated, it is kept hot with insulation material. This allows the water to stay warm for a long time.The second part of the solar water heater holds the water for the system.

38、ter storage tank. One pipe lets water flow into the system.

45、e. I was annoyed of being asked such a question. He smiled at me and continued that there would be a test for my perseverance if I was willing to take part in. Without second thought, I accepted his challenge. Then, I was taken to the foot of the mountain ranges and my uncle asked me if I was ready
46、to take the test or not. A nod was an answer. Then, we started walking up along the mountain ranges. For first few mountain ranges, I seemed okay walking on a narrow lane up to the top of the mountain, but soon I found my strength was instantly wearing out. However, I had to keep on walking up as I
