And why? Your presentation： think objectively about money and its uses and make informed money­management choices in adulthood I'd allocate 40% to Spending for study­related items, 30% to Saving for a bike, 20% to Investing in online courses, and 10% to Giving for local animal shelters． Valuable Values The spending power of young people varies from person to person①．Each, however, is faced with② the same question: what to do with their money?

年轻人的消费能力因人而异。然而，每个人都面临一个同样的问题：该如何对待自己的钱？有些人并不那么擅长理财。最近的新闻头条中报道了越来越多的青少年刷爆了父母的信用卡，将钱肆意挥霍在网络游戏或其他网络活动中。 与这些花钱大手大脚的人相比，也有一些青少年证明了年龄并非合理理财的障碍。年仅八岁的科洛·汤普森在祖母的帮助下，开始为她所在区域的流浪者们制作“爱心包包”。包里面装着一些生活必需品，比如牙膏、肥皂和袜子等。最初购买这些物品用的都是她自己的零花钱，后来则是通过众筹购买。这些物品让贫穷和无家可归的人生活得稍微轻松了一些。在收到“爱心包包”时，一位女士说：“你让我觉得自己活得像个人。” 无论人们打算怎样使用自己的钱，理财对于年轻一代来说似乎变得前所未有地重要。2016年的一项研究表明，美国有17个州要求高中生修个人理财的课程。对于那些无法接触理财课程的人来说，多亏杰里·维特科夫斯基和他的理财方法——他用四个罐子教青少年如何智慧理财。 当杰里的孙子孙女们年满13岁时，杰里给他们每个人的礼物都是三个罐子：一个用于消费，一个用于储蓄，另一个用于给予——之后他还增加了第四个罐子，用于投资。从那时起，他的孙子孙女们就开始自己掌控如何处理所得的钱：用于消费、储蓄、投资还是给予他人？然而，杰里送他们生日礼物的价值远远不止金钱和这几个罐子——他为他们提供了终身树立正确价值观的机会。 “消费”罐子传递的价值是，你要为自己的幸福负责。金钱让你独立，并给你购买自己所爱之物的机会。毕竟，对自己好一点是可以的！ “消费”罐子关注的是眼前和当下，而“储蓄”罐子则为你提供了未来的愿景。它可以是为大学教育准备的存款，也可以是为自己在商店里看到的心仪之物而攒的钱——这都取决于你。 “投资”罐子不仅代表着对未来的愿景，还为未来的发展提供了机会。虽然它同样包括为大学教育而把钱存起来，但它同时还意味着对自身的投资。 “给予”罐子其实就是指善良与帮助。无论你是想要接济朋友，为动物慈善机构捐款，或是救助另一个国家的孩子，这都是你的钱，你可以把它捐给任何你相信的事业。 介绍这四个罐子，更深远的目的在于鼓励青少年以一种更客观的方式思考金钱以及用钱能做的事情，让他们在成长的过程中逐渐理解重要事物的真正价值。这样他们在步入成人社会时才会更加得心应手，并且能够对如何管理金钱做出明智的选择。事实上，他们罐子中的细微变化可能意味着日后他们理财方式的巨大变化。 appropriate adj．恰当的；合适的(联想：appropriately adv．恰当地；合适地)

third­grade students were being evaluated on subjects like math and science．However, they weren't being evaluated on life skills, such as social responsibility and kindness．“That's the stuff that I feel is really important for them to learn and carry forward in their lives，” Thiessen said． She mentioned her concerns to Kyla Stradling, a fellow teacher, and they hatched a plan．They assigned their students a project that had nothing to do with standard school subjects．Instead, it was centered on spreading goodwill．They called it the “Kindness Project”．“If we could be that spark of kindness, we could inspire others to do acts of kindness，” Thiessen told her students． Students from two third­grade classes made cupcakes and sold them for ＄1 during a series of bake sales at the school．They raised about ＄400．Students used the proceeds to purchase small gifts, like bouquets of flowers, dog treats or candies．They handed the gifts out to strangers near the school．Many people seemed “caught off guard” when they received the gifts．But they were all in when the students explained what the project was about．Some were moved to tears． “This is a lesson we can't teach in a classroom，” Thiessen said．She decided to make it a yearly activity for third­graders at the school．“It's my favorite day of the year with them，” Thiessen said．“I'm there to supervise but I really get to sit back and just watch them．” The goal of the project is to start a chain of kindness within the community and to show the students what they can do．“The bigger idea of the project，” Thiessen said, “is the feelings they'll carry with them as they grow．” “It's this lasting thing，” she said．“I think down the line, it will always stick with them．” [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。两位老师认为学生们应在生活技能方面(如社会责任和善良)得到评估，于是他们发起了“友善项目”。 1．What is the purpose of the “Kindness Project”？ A．To assign a project． B．To spread goodwill． C．To collect money for school． D．To judge students on subjects． √ 解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二三句话“他们给学生布置了一个与标准学校科目无关的项目。相反，它以传播善意(goodwill)为核心。他们称之为‘友善项目’。”可知，“友善项目” 的目的是传播善意，故选B。 2．What does the underlined phrase “caught off guard” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Filled with joy． B．Cautious about risks． C．Grateful to others． D．Taken by surprise． √ 解析：选D。推理判断题。根据画线部分句子的描述“许多人在收到礼物时似乎……。但当学生们解释这个项目是关于什么的时候，他们都积极参与了进来。”可推断出，一开始收到礼物时人们是很意外的，所以“caught off guard”意思是“感到意外，措手不及”，与“Taken by surprise”意思相近，故选D。 3．Which of the following best describes the impact of the project? A．Far­reaching． B．Predictable． C．Short­term． D．Unidentifiable． √ 解析：选A。推理判断题。根据最后两段的描述“Thiessen 认为这个项目更大的意义在于他们成长过程中会一直怀揣着的那些感受。她说从长远来看，它将永远伴随着他们。”可知，这个项目的影响是长远的、意义深远的，“Far­reaching”符合此意，故选A。 4．What can be concluded according to Thiessen?
