It tells a story of how to find treasures.B. It is mainly about the wisdom of listening to others.C. It teaches us to seek valuable advice from others.D. It encourages people to pursue their dreams bravely.BYou may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world’s most promising "changemakers" seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which every citizen is a changemaker.Drayton believes that anyone can become an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact, i t is many young people’s ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 inDhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the cityhelped local farmers and provided an income for poor people there .When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets, attracting rats and disease, they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste. So they educated the poor people in the city to compost (把…制成堆肥)this waste. They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical fertilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years. At first, they were refused,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In 2009 sales were $14,000.Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.25. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. Rubbish ProblemB. BusinessmenC. Social ConditionsD.Changemakers26. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to"".A. the poor people in DhakaB. Masqsood and IftekharC.

I loved my mom's turkey soup. I remembered the time she made some especially for me. It was summer then and I had a terrible head cold. She arrived unexpectedly one afternoon at my work place with a huge jar of her turkey noodle soup. At the thought, I began to feel a little more relieved in the pain of losing her.It was then that I realized I was reconnecting with my mother through food. I laughed a bit at myself when I reflected on all the dishes I had cooked that week. Without knowing it, I had created a beautiful ceremony to honor my mother and to comfort myself at this vulnerable(脆弱的) time. I suddenly felt my mother at hand and was filled with her presence. I was so uplifted and excited that I began talking to her, imagining she was there.“What else should we make?” I asked of us both, wanting to keep the ceremony from ending.“Irish Potato Pancakes,” was the reply.I hesitated. The thought of these brought up another loss. The last time I madepotato pancakes was two and a half years ago. I had taken off my engagement (订婚) ring and never found it again. Since then, I resisted using that recipe even though I really liked those pancakes as if it were partly to blame.My mom should know better than to suggest these, I thought. She knew how upset I was about losing my ring. But despite these hesitations, I found myself caught up in the joy and celebration of the moment, and I reached for the cookbook without another thought of the ring. My mom did love Irish things. I opened the cookbook and turned to the pancake recipe. At once, something at the bottom of the page caught my eye... It was shining! Amazingly, there, pressed into the pages of this book, was my diamond ring!That day, I made potato pancakes in the shape of hearts.29. At the one-year anniversary, the writer ______.A. cooked some dishes in memory of her motherB. felt more painful at the thought of the turkey noodle soupC. was so excited as to see her mother homeD. didn’t give a thought of the lost ring30. The writer hesitated to cook potato pancakes probably because ______.A. she felt too sad to make themB. she didn’t like such pancakesC. her mother was to blame for the loss of her ringD. they reminded her of the loss of her ring31. It can be inferred from the passage that her mother ______.A. was connected with the writer through foodB. taught the writer how to cook pancakesC. actually still lived with the writerD. found the ring for her daughter32. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Heart-shaped PancakesB. Lost and Found RingC. Favorite DishesD.

河南省南阳市第一中学高二英语下学期第一次月考试题(含解析)
河南省南阳市第一中学2017-2018学年高二下学期第一次月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解（版权：百强校英语解析团队专供）（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。
AHow can we reduce the risk?There are four general approaches to dealing with volcanic dangers. We can try to keep the danger from occurring—often an impossible task. We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development. We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.Removing the ThreatClearly, there is no way to stop an eruption. We can, however, attempt to reduce the eruption’s effects by strengthening structures, for example, building protective works such as walls to make lava (熔岩) flow away from developed areas. Such efforts can be and have been successful, but are of limited use in a large-scale eruption.Planning for the FutureProtecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task. Before building houses, we should judge the risk. If the risk seems too great, a safer location should be found. This type of planning is very effective, but all too often, people are drawn to the lush(葱郁的)，rolling land of a quiet volcano.Disaster Preparedness (预案)When a volcano comes to life, a few weeks may not be enough time to avoid a tragedy. Planning is the key to saving lives. Well before the warning signs occur, people must be educated about volcanic dangers. Escape plans must be in place. Communication between scientists, officials, the media, and the general public should be practiced. Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.If you doubt the importance of these efforts, take another look at past volcanictragedies, such as the eruption of Nevado del Ruiz. Communication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape. When a deadly mudflow came down the slope (斜坡), 21,000 people—90 percent of the town’s people—died.1. The passage is intended for ________.A. the general publicB. architectsC. adventurersD. geographers2. When building houses , people tend to ________.A. judge volcanic dangers carefullyB. take volcanic dangers seriouslyC. like to live near a quiet volcanoD. find a safer place far away from a volcano3. The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove ________.A. The failure to keep volcanic dangers from happeningB. The importance of preparing for a volcanic eruptionC. The bravery of the people in Armero TownD. The uncertainty of volcano’s damage【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B【解析】试题分析：本文属于说明文阅读，主要讲述了采取哪些行动来减少火山喷发对我们的影响和伤害。
2019学年河南南阳市高二下期第一次月考英语试卷【含答案及解析】
2019学年河南南阳市高二下期第一次月考英语试卷【含答案及解析】姓名___________ 班级____________ 分数__________一、阅读理解1. Roger Rolls was the first black governor in the history of New York State, USA. He was born in one of New York’s notorious(臭名昭著) slums. The children born here rarely did decent work after they grew up. However, Roger Rolls wasan exception, for he was not only admitted to the university, but also he became a governor. At his inaugural(就职的) press conference, a reporter asked him, “What made you become the governor?” Faced with more than 300 journalists, Rolls did not mention his struggle but only spoke of his primary school schoolmaster---Pierre Paul.In 1961, Pierre Paul was engaged as the director and principle of Nobita Primary School. When he entered this school, he found the children here didn’t cooperate withthe teachers. Pierre thought up many ways to guide them,but none was effective. Later, he found these children were very superstitious(迷信的), so when he gave lectures, he added a program of palm reading as a means of fortune-telling, with which he encouraged the students.When Rolls Jumped from the hathpace (高台) and walked to the platform with his small hands stretched out, Pierre Paul said, “As soon as I see your slender little fingers, I know you will be the governor of New York State in future.” At that moment, Rolls was shocked because only his grandmother inspired him once, saying that he could becomethe governor of New York State, so he remembered that remark and believed him.F ro m that day on, the “New York State Governor” waslike a banner that constantly inspired him to studyenergetically and make progress. Rolls no longer stained his clothes with mud, nor did he speak in foul (污秽的) language. He began to straighten his back when he was walking. In the next more than 40 years, he demanded himself according to the identity of a governor. At the age of 51, he finally became the governor of New York State.Put up a banner of faith for yourself and you will have the drive to struggle and the vitality of life.1.In terms of Rog er Rolls’ success, what did he mention made him become the governor of New York State?A. That he was born in a poor family.B. His strong belief and his hard struggle.C. His great achievements in his university.D. Pierre Paul’s and his grandmother’s encouragement.2. We know from Para. 2 that ___________.A. Pierre Paul was expert at palm readingB. Nobita primary School was a key school in 1961C. Pierre Paul had a unique way of guiding his studentsD. at first students in Pierre Paul’s primary school obeyed school rules well3. What was always in Roger Rolls’ mind then?A. New York State Governor.B. His slender little fingers.C. His birthplace and identity.D. The captain of a five-ton ship.4. Which of the following is NOT true of Rolls after he heard Paul’s remark?A. He didn’t speak in foul language.B. He kept his back straight while walking.C. He studied energetically and made progress.D. He ignored his stained clothes and only worked hard.2. Whoever has made a voyage up the Hudson River must remember the Catskill Mountains. They are a branch of the great Appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country. When the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light uplike a crown of glory(华丽的皇冠).At the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village.In that village, and in one of the houses (which, totell the exact truth, was sadly time-worn and weather-beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of Rip Van Winkle.Rip’s great weakness was a natural dislike of all kindsof money-making labor. It could not be from lack of diligence, for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. He would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields toshoot a few birds or squirrels. He would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. The women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. In a word, Rip was ready to attend to everybody’sbusiness but his own.If left to himself, he would have whistled life away in perfect satisfaction; but his wife was always mad at him for his idleness(懒散). Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house—the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband.1. Which of the following best describes the Catskill Mountains?A. They are on the west of the Hudson River.B. They are very high and beautiful in this area.C. They can be seen from the Appalachian family.D. They gather beautiful clouds in blue and purple.2. The hero of the story is probably ______.A. hard-working and likes all kinds of workB. idle and hates all kinds of jobsC. simple, idle but very dutifulD. gentle, helpful but a little idle3. The underlined w ords “henpecked husband” in the last paragraph probably means a man who _______.A. likes huntingB. is afraid of hensC. loves his wifeD. is afraid of his wife4. What would be the best title for the text?A. Catskill Mountains.________________________B. A MountainVillage.C. Rip Van Winkle.___________________________________D. A Dutiful Husband.3. The gray-haired lady can’t wait to leave the building to search for her dad. Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.Not all cases of Alzheimer’s disease look like this, but Alzheimer’s is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.It is said that about three percent of the U.S.population over age 65 have Alzheimer’s. In the early stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years beforedeath occurs.While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain's nerve fibers (神经纤维), their effect is certain. Alzheimer’s destroys not only the patients, but also spouses (配偶), friends and families.What should you do if you notice progressive memory lossin yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined bya doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Though many reasons other thanAlzheimer’s disease may cause memory loss, its earlydiagnosis (诊断) and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer’s disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn't remember you are married.Life for the Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones will never be thesame as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even angertowards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.1. What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired lady?A. She has been living with her father.B. She was sad about the death of her father.C. She can’t search for her father without being watched.D. She suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.2. When people suf fer from Alzheimer’s disease, ________.A. their families and friends will suffer from the same diseaseB. their families and friends will experience mentalsufferingsC. they will certainly die in 8 to 10 yearsD. they will forget everybody but their spouses3. Memory loss occurs ________.A. from Alzheimer’s disease and nothing elseB. from sadness, shock, anger, and so onC. for a number of reasonsD. with changes in personality4. From the passage we know that ________.A. early treatment may stop Alzheimer’s disease occurringB. it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain’s nerve fibersC. nerve fibers in the br ain will cause Alzheimer’sdiseaseD. when one suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, he will be buried4. 5 Holiday GiftsBy Liz Kennedy and Janice LiebermanYour family’s life story in print?

To raise questions．B. To introduce the topic．C. To interestreaders． D. To solve problems．22.The earliest Mother's Day was celebrated to ______ ．A. mark the birth of GreeceB. prepare forthe autumn harvestC. honour the Mother of GodsD. honour themothers of England23.The fourth and fifth paragraphs mainly talk about ______ ．A. the feast of Mother's Day in the U．S．B. the origin ofMother's Day in the U．S．C. the development of Mother's Day in the U．S．D. thecelebration of Mother's Day in the U．S．24The passage is intended to ______ ．A. give readers some informationB. persuadereadersC. report a storyD. amuse readersBArtificial Intelligence (AI) is making it possible for panies to monitor workers’ behavior in great detail and in real time. Start to slack off (懈怠), and AI could talk to your boss.One pany offering such services is London-based start-up Status Today. Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data, including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card. From this, it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance. The idea is to spot when someone might bee a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns. “All of this gives us fingerprint of a user, so if we think the fingerprint doesn’t match, we raise a warning”, says Mircea Dumitrescu, the pany’s chief technology officer.The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach (漏洞), like opening malware (恶意软件).“We’re not monitoring if your puter has a virus.” says Dumitrescu. “We’re monitoring human behaviors.”But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone, and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity. “It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to old-fashioned workplace surveillance (监视),” says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group. “You have a right to privacy and you shouldn’t be expected to give that up at work.”Exactly how panies use the system will be u p to them, but it’s hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees’ shoulders. “It will bother people, and that could be counterproductive if it affects their behavior,” says Paul Bemal at the University of East Anglia.Phil Legg at the University of the West of England says it will never catch every security risk. “If people know they’re being monitored, they can change theirbehavior,” he says.25.According to the text, AI monitors employees by ________.A. taking pictures of themB. getting accessto their dataC. signaling their usual performanceD. catching theiractions26.What’s Javier Ruiz Diaz’s attitude towards the system?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Uncaring.D. N27.What does the underlined word “that” in paragrap h 4 refer to?A. Security breach.B. Employees’productivity.C. The right to privacy.D. Workplacesurveillance.28.Phil Legg’s concern about the system suggests that ________.A. it is too risky to be used at workB. it will affectemployees’ emotionsC. it may not be so effective as expectedD. it willencourage employee, productivityCDear Alcohol，You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused me.Do you remember the night when you almost took my father’s life? I do. He lovesy ou. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you，to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them.Youjust sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street，crashing intotwo other car s. He wasn’t the only one badly hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for them，walking them out and paying the driver i n advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped.Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lesson? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head-on and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning, too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson，and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t wa nt anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love! Stop hurting me, please!Sincerely，Me29.What did Alcohol do to the author’s father that night?A. It made him drunk and took his life away.B. It made him kill two other people when he was driving.C.

河南省南阳市2018-2019学年高二英语下学期第一次月考（3月）试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节,满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30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。
AThe orderly came back in a few minutes with a rifle（步枪）and some Burmans（缅甸人）. He told us that the e lephant was in the rice fields below, only a few hundred yards away. As I started forward practically the whole population of the quarter flocked out of the houses and followed me. They had seen the rifle and were all shouting excitedly that I was going to shoot the elephant. It was fun to them, as it would be to an English crowd; besides, the y wanted the meat. It made m e a little uneasy. I had no intention of shooting the elephant—I had merely sent for the rifle to defend myself—and it is always uneasy to have a crowd following you. I marched down the hill, looking and feeling a fool, with the rifle over my shoulder and an ever-growing army of people knocking and pushing at my heels. Beyond the huts（小木屋）there was a rice field a thousand yards across, muddy from the first rains. The elephant was standing eight yards from the road. He took not the slightest notice of the crowd. He was tearing up bunches of grass, beating them against his knees to clean them and feeding them into his mouth.As soon as I saw the elephant I knew with perfect certainty that I ought not to shoot him. It is a serious matter to shoot a working elephant — it is comparable to destroying a huge and costly piece of machinery. There, peacefully eating, the elephant looked no more dangerous than a cow. I thought then and I thi nk now that his attack of “must” was already passing off; in which case he would merely wander harmlessly about. Moreover, I did not in the least want to shoot him.But at that moment I glanced round at the crowd that had followed me. It was a huge crowd, two thousand at least and growing every minute. I looked at the sea of the faces above the colorful clothes—faces all happy and excited over this bit of fun, all certain that the elephant was going to be shot. They were watching me as they would watch a magician about to perform a trick. They did not like me. But with the magical rifle in my hands Iwas momentarily worth watching. And suddenly I realized that I should have to shoot the elephant after all. The people expected it of me and I had got to do it; I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward. And it was at this moment that I first felt the hollowness（空洞）, the uselessness of the white man's control in the East. Here was I, standing in front of the unarmed crowds—seemingly the leading actor; but in reality only a puppet (傀儡). I understood in this moment that when the white man turns ruler of complete power it is his own freedom that he destroys.21. The people were glad to think the elephant was to be shot mainly because ______.A.it had damaged their homes and cropsB.it would provide them with meatC.it would make them feel entertainedD.it was spoiling their rice fields22. When the writer saw the elephant he felt_____________. .A.foolishB.afraidC.pitifulD.confident23. The writer realized that he had to shoot the elephant because___________.A. shooting elephants is a serious problemB. everybody expected it of himC. he did not wish to disappoint the rulersD. he had to show how guns are fired24. What does the writer intend to tells us when he tells the story?A. Leading actors are sometimes foolish puppets.B. Governments for white people are useless.C. Power can sometimes turn people imprisoned (监禁).D. Unarmed crowds are in control of everything.BCONGRATULATIONSWe’ve organized the following information to help you prepare for your arrival at Boston College.

However, we are so often absorbed in conversation that we lose sight of its true purpose and value.One important aspect of a good conversation is the words used to express thoughts and feelings. We are full of deep thoughts and strong emotions, yet our vocabularies are not enough for this expression, and many make little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that touches you deeply, yet you have the following conversation: “So, what did you think of the film?” “Oh, my God, it was so sad. I swear, I went through using up a box of tissues. I was in tears.”This dialogue is hardly an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no sign of how or why the movie truly affected you. Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience. However, not only must you try to avoid overused words, you must also be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the largest or most impressive words, but to find those best suited.What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person. A t houghtful person will find that even in the most ordinary of conversations, there are a thousand questions waiting to be asked if you have courage and a desire for change, in order to seek out the person behind the mask. Good conversations should not be made up of nonsense, but of a meeting of two sharing the human condition. It should bring a purer understanding of others and offer a release of emotions more than drive away unpleasant thoughts or kill time. If we want,we can reach beyond the superficiality（肤浅）of talking into the vast kingdom of wisdom.28. The author used a movie as an example to show that ____________.A. overused words can’t fully express feelings of a speakerB. how and why a moving movie can deeply affect a speakerC. only expanding vocabulary can describe moving experiencesD. the largest or most impressive words should he used by speakers29. “Seek out the person behind the mask” in the last paragraph means___________.A. remove the mask of othersB. distrust the others’ appearanceC. feel doubtful about the othersD. get the hidden truth beyond words30. According to the author, a good conversation is ___________ .A. a way to free the unpleasant or pass timeB. a desire to raise more questionsC. an exchange of emotions and experiencesD. a route to the kingdom of wisdom31. The best t itle of the passage could be ___________.A. Vocabulary in ConversationsB. Art of ConversationsC. Ability in ConversationsD. Importance of ConversationsDMany children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). The purpose is to let the children learn from experiences at an early 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 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 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 are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice 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 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 chance 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 the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.Compounding works 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.32. Giving an allowance, parents should consider all the following EXCEPT_______.A. how much the child should get each timeB. whether the child has made a budgetC. where the money really goesD. how often a child can get it33. The author of the passage holds the opinion that________.A. what children learn by handling allowances may be beneficial in the futureB. children can learn to set up their own business with their allowancesC. keeping allowances in the bank is the best choice for childrenD. it is not a good idea to pay children for housework at home34. The underlined words “compound interest” in the passage probably mean s ________.A. increasing curiosity to learn how to make more moneyB. stronger power to hold one’s attention to saving moneyC. money paid by the bank on your original money and the gain from itD. the sum of money that you earn from keeping your money in the bank35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Be Generous to Pay Your Children.B. Be Wise to Avoid Financial Mistakes.C.Saving Allowances Does Good to Children.D.Allowances Help Children Learn about Money.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
