【推荐2】Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance （pocket money）.The purpose is to let children learn from experiences 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 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. Requiting 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.

| Dear Dale, My mother recently gave birth to a boy, my new younger brother. But though he’s adorable (可爱的), I have to do more chores than before. And when I don’t do them well, my father scolds (批评) me. I feel terrible. What can I do? Emily |
| Dear Emily, Congratulations on the new member of your family. It’s completely natural for you to feel different now that you’re not your parents’ only child. Before, you got all their attention, but now, you have to share that attention with your new brother. However, rather than feel sad about your new situation, you should see it as an opportunity to show everyone how mature (成熟的) you are. Now that your brother’s here, you’re no longer the kid of the family. This also means that you now have the responsibility to help raise your brother and show him how the world works. As for your parents, put yourself in their shoes and you’ll see why they’re acting differently toward you. Your parents still love you as much as they did before, of course, but raising a baby is very difficult and tiring. Because of this, you should try your best to support your parents by not getting upset if they scold you or ask you to do things you normally wouldn’t have to do. Most importantly, remember to keep setting a good example to your brother. Once everything settles down, you’ll never be able to imagine life without him. Dale |

【推荐3】It is said that most people have no more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.
Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems.
Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways to make new friends again.
This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.
