单元测评(四)　Unit 4　Body language (时间：90分钟　满分：110分) 第一部分　阅读理解(共两节；满分30分) 第一节　(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A In the supermarket my daughter ran over to me with a DVD in her hand. “Mum! Hotel for Dogs is out. Can we get it？” “Of course, but you must use your own money，” I said. She looked at the price and put it back. Usually my kids are happy to spend my money, but are much more careful when it comes to putting_their_hands_in_their_own_pockets. I like to think this is because they have earned their money and it therefore has a value to them. My children's pocket money is reward­based. They each have certain weekly jobs: they clean their rooms, organize their clothes and clear the table. There are things that we need to pay attention to while rewarding children: the rules need to be clear, transparent (透明的) and very fair. And I don't want money to be connected in their minds with the giving of love. Therefore, my children's pocket money is not based on them “being good”. It is too difficult to be good for most normal children all day, every day for a full week. I also don't believe in paying my children to be kind and well­mannered. This is something we expect from them as part of our family and as little human beings. As a reward for good behavior such as going to bed on time, I'd rather use a reward­based activity or experience that is done together: ice skating or a cinema trip instead of money. Punishments for bad behavior will usually be not allowing them to play. I really want to teach my children good money management skills, and I believe allowing them to earn and spend their own pocket money is a great place to start. 语篇解读　本文是议论文。文章讨论了该如何给孩子零用钱。 1．The example at the beginning of the text serves as a(n) ________.
