Ⅲ.阅读理解
Across the country, October is National Financial Planning Month, a time when you might want to look back on your retirement statement or rethink investment(投资) for the new year. The month also serves as a good reminder to teach the ones you love a thing or two about money basics. Whether it's explaining the value of a dollar or postponed enjoyment for a beloved toy, you can explain to children where money comes from, how best to keep it, and the ways that you can use well-earned cash to shape the world we live in.
Financial literacy(知识), put simply, is the know-how to prepare, track expenses, save, plan for retirement, and manage debt. The money-saving expert Andrea Woroch says it's never too early to start talking about finances, and it can be as simple as taking them shopping or doing everyday tasks around the house. “Your children learn from your habits and the way you spend or save and even talk about money will shape how your children manage money in the future, even if you don't realize it,” says Woroch.
Most people think that the easiest way to teach their kids about money is to let them watch what they do—from the convenience store to online shopping. As a matter of fact, the right way is to practice being a role model of what you hope they (and you) would do when faced with money problems or opportunities.
Woroch says including kids in setting a budget(预算) for an upcoming event can be a great learning experience. When you have no option but to make a budget cut, think before you complain. Watch how you talk about sacrificing(牺牲) short-term pleasure for long-term gain.
If your family is doing well despite a economic downturn, you can teach your kids to appreciate what they have and encourage them to help others in need. Ramirez, a senior advisor, suggests that parents “increase children's awareness of how money can benefit others, not just themselves, by encouraging them to raise money for a cause”. This is also a great way to develop their social awareness.
1.Why should kids have financial literacy?
A.To avoid debts. B.To obtain happiness.
C.To become experts. D.To form a smart view of money.
2.Which is suggested for parents to teach children financial literacy?
A.Setting a good example.
B.Opening an online store.
C.Permitting them to shop alone.
D.Making them solve money issues.
3.What does Ramirez like to see according to the last paragraph?
A.Parents praise children's efforts.
B.Parents donate money for charity.
C.Children save money for a cause.
D.Children make money by themselves.
Ⅳ.七选五
Sometimes the hardest thing about saving money is just getting started. This step-by-step guide can help you develop a simple and realistic plan, so that you can save for all your short-and long-term goals.
Record your expenses.
1 Keep track of all your expenses—that means every coffee, household item and cash tip as well as regular monthly bills. Record your expenses in a way that is easiest for you—a pencil and paper, a simple spreadsheet or a free online spending tracker or app. Once you have your data, organize the numbers by category(类别), and total each amount.
2
Now that you know what you spend in a month, you can begin to create a budget. Your budget ought to show what your expenses are, relative to your income, so that you can plan your spending and limit overspending. Be sure to factor in expenses that occur regularly but not every month, such as car maintenance. Include a savings category in your budget and aim to save an amount that feels comfortable to you. 3
Find ways to cut spending.
If you can't save as much as you'd like, it might be time to cut back on expenses. 4 Look for ways to save on your fixed monthly expenses, such as your car insurance or cellphone plan, as well.
Set savings goals.
One of the best ways to save money is to set a goal. 5 Then estimate(评估) how much money you'll need and how long it might take you to save it.
Saving money is indeed a smart move: it provides security, stress relief, and freedom. Take action right now.
A.Watch your savings grow.
B.Include savings in your budget.
C.Start by thinking about what you might want to save for.
D.Review your budget and check your progress every month.
E.The first step to start saving money is figuring out how much you spend.
F.Pick out unnecessary things such as dining out that you can spend less on.
G.Plan on eventually increasing your savings to 15 to 20 percent of your income.

Ⅴ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was an extremely hot summer afternoon when I arrived in a new city for work. The air was filled with heat as I stepped off the train into a crowded station I'd never been to before. My blouse was already clinging(粘着) to my back, which made every step feel heavier. All over the place were hurried footsteps and rolling suitcases(行李箱). I was very tired after the journey and all I could think about was getting to the hotel to cool off, and prepare for the meetings I had scheduled.
Pulling my heavy suitcase, I followed the signs toward the taxi stand. As I reached into my handbag to get my wallet, a wave of dread(惊恐) washed over me—I couldn't find it. In shock, I checked every pocket—once, twice, three times. My wallet wasn't there. My mind raced as I tried to recall when I had last seen it. Had I left it on the train or somewhere?
Taking a deep breath, I opened my suitcase and checked every corner, hoping that I had just overlooked it. Sweat was pouring off me as my search turned up nothing. The realization hit me hard: my wallet was gone. Not only did it hold my cash, but it also held my credit cards.
I was in an unfamiliar city, without cash, cards, or any way to buy a bottle of water to ease my dry throat, let alone pay for a ride to the hotel. The helplessness of the situation settled over me as I stood still near the taxi stand, unsure of what to do next.
“Are you okay?” A voice cut through my thoughts.
I looked up to see a man in his early thirties, dressed in an old T-shirt and jeans, carrying a small bag. His face was kind, and his expression showed concern.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
I had no other option but to explain my situation to the kind stranger.
When the taxi arrived, he helped me put my suitcase in it.

Ⅴ.
One possible version:
I had no other option but to explain my situation to the kind stranger. I told him about losing my wallet and how I was stranded in the city without any money or means to get to my hotel. He listened attentively, nodding sympathetically. Without hesitation, he offered to lend me some cash to cover the taxi fare to the hotel. I was overwhelmed by his generosity and thanked him profusely. He simply smiled and said, “We all need help sometimes.”
When the taxi arrived, he helped me put my suitcase in it. Before I got in, he handed me a small amount of money and wished me luck with my meetings. I assured him I would repay him as soon as possible and asked for his contact information. He waved me off, saying it wasn't necessary. As the taxi drove away, I felt a deep sense of gratitude and renewed faith in humanity. This unexpected act of kindness in a new city left a lasting impression on me.
