15、elp disabled people lead more independent lives, but can they also help change disruptive (爱捣乱的) teenagers behaviour?A unique TV experiment, “Dog House”， follows five unruly youngsters as they are taught to become dog trainers. The idea is simple. Kids really like dogs. But can the skills involved i
16、n training thempatience, consistency, rewarding good behaviourgive these teenagers the discipline they need in their own lives?The teens involved were put forward by local schools in West Sussex, who had run out of ideas of how to deal with them. Liam was typical14 years old, badtempered, aggressive
17、, foulmouthed and about to be permanently excluded from school. Allie, Rob and Ellie, had similar problemsthey couldnt concentrate, they didnt like being told what to do and they had serious anger problems. Katrina was different. She was so shy that she had developed agoraphobia (陌生环境恐惧症), and she s
18、uffered from depression and had taken herself out of mainstream education. Gradually, working with the dogs began to have an impact on the kids. But in order to fully appreciate the significance of what they were doing, they needed to meet the disabled people who benefited from having these dogs. Th
19、e meetings had a profound impact on the teenagers. After meeting Eileen Hobson and her dog Sailor, Liam changed his ways and his unlikely friendship with severely disabled wheelchair user Eileen blossomed. Two months into the course Liam began to connect with the dogs tooparticularly a young yellow
20、Labrador called Aero. The relationship flourished so much that the dog often knew instinctively what the teenager wanted him to do before hed even asked. “He just knows, ”said Liam. Liams school noticed a huge change in his whole outlook. His teacher Nick Brown said, “More than anything I see a conf
21、ident and happy young man. Its been superb.”31. The teens were selected to be dog trainers just because_. Athey liked dogs very muchBthey came from the same local schoolCthey ran out of ideas of how to behave in schoolDtheir teachers had some difficulty in dealing with them32. What made Liam greatly
22、 changed?ATraining the dogs. BHis meeting Eileen Hobson and her dog. CHis teacher Nick Browns praise. DA unique TV programme. 33. The underlined word “blossomed” in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as_. Adeveloped BdecoratedCexpanded Ddeclined 34. From the passage we know that_. Aal
23、l dogs can retrieve cash from ATMsBunruly youngsters can become good dog trainersCthe skills in training dogs can really affect childrens behavior in schoolDthe five teenagers were sullen and aggressiveBMany children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(pocket money). The purpose
24、 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 all
25、owance.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 ar
26、e 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. Many people who have written on the
27、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 c
28、hance 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 th
29、e 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 saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound_interest.Compound works
30、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.35Giving a
31、n allowance, parents should consider all the following EXCEPT_.Ahow much the child should get each timeBwhether the child has made a budgetCwhere the money really goesDhow often a child can get it36The author of the passage holds the opinion that_. Awhat children learn by handling allowances may be
32、beneficial in the futureBchildren can learn to set up their own business with their allowancesCkeeping allowances in the bank is the best choice for childrenDit is not a good idea to pay children for housework at home37The underlined words “compound interest” in the passage probably mean_.Aincreasin
33、g curiosity to learn how to make more moneyBstronger power to hold ones attention to saving moneyCmoney paid by the bank on your original money and the gain from itDthe sum of money that you earn from keeping your money in the bank38What is the best title for the passage?ABe Generous to Pay Your ChildrenBBe Wise to Avoid Financial MistakesCSaving Allowances Does Good to ChildrenDAllowances Help Children Learn about Money
