Four of the Best Money Games for Kids
When was the last time your kids saw you pay for something in cash Chances are that your kids rarely see bills and coins exchange hands. Living in a digital world, it’s difficult for kids to understand what really happens when adults pay for things. The following are some money games for kids that can teach them the different values of bills and coins, how to handle money, and even economics.
Buy It Right
Age range: Ages 7 to 12
Buy It Right lets kids get hands-on experience dealing with bills and coins while introducing the concept of prices and thinking through whether an object is too expensive or not. Kids set their prices and buy and sell items while moving their piece around the board.
Money Match Me
Age range: Ages 5 to 8
While not entirely a game, Money Match Me can be a fun way to test kids’ knowledge of coins. One card shows a group of coins needing to be matched with a written description. For example, a picture of three quarters would be matched with a card that says “seventy-five cents”.
Money Bags
Age range: Recommended for ages 7+
If your kids need practice counting money and telling apart different coins, the Money Bags game can help. As players move along the board, they collect money from the bank. The winner is the person who has the most money when the game ends.
Pay Day
Age range: Ages 8 and up
This classic board game simulates what it’s like to get a paycheck each month while also having financial duties. Players are also able to receive 10% interest on the balance of their savings. The player with the most cash and savings at the end wins.
1. What is the skill focus of Buy It Right
A. Introducing basic business concepts.
B. Recognizing different bills and coins.
C. Learning to identify and count money.
D. Making kids consider prices and expenses.
2. Which money game recommends the youngest age limit
A. Buy It Right. B. Money Match Me.
C. Money Bags. D. Pay Day.
3. What do Money Bags and Pay Day have in common
A. Players focus on adding different bills.
B. Kids learn how to budget in a reasonable way.
C. Whoever owns the most money is the winner.
D. Kids are able to receive interest on their savings.
B
Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students.
“Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance.
This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger(公园管理员)on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion —landscape photography.
It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms—via the ceiling(天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them.
Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies(树冠)using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful,” one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.”
Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said.
4. What is the common challenge shared by some classrooms at Taft Elementary
A. Lack of fresh air. B. Absence of windows.
C. Insufficient lighting. D. Limited access to technology.
5. Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms
A. To promote his photography skills.
B. To connect the students with nature.
C. To improve the teachers’ performance.
D. To create an exciting environment for the students.
6. How did the students react to Rodriguez’s picture on the classroom ceiling
A. They did not notice the change.
B. They failed to concentrate on lessons.
C. They preferred the original gray ceiling.
D. They were in favour of the new addition.
7. What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom
A. Appreciative and supportive. B. Cautious and objective.
C. Concerned but doubtful. D. Curious but unsure.

Elephants’ important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest elephants—a species living in the rainforests of central Africa—are increasingly recognized by another name: “climate heroes”.
African forest elephants help lessen climate change by increasing carbon storage in their forest habitats, meaning they help remove heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. They do this by influencing the forest structure, including by increasing the diversity and abundance of plant species. It’s estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture(捕获)capacity of the forest by almost 250 acres. This is equal to removing from the atmosphere a year’s worth of emissions(排放量)from 2,047 cars.
“As strange as it seems, all that eating and destruction help the forest pull more carbon out of the air,” says Alison Pearce Stevens in the book Animal Climate Heroes! . Elephants eat more than 400 pounds of food a day, so they spend a lot of time searching for food. As they walk through the forest, they do a lot of damage to the surrounding smaller trees, leading to the survival of trees that have the ability to absorb and store more CO2.
In addition, their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. This is because elephants disperse fruit seeds. In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until they drop back to the forest floor.
But African forest elephants are seriously endangered and continue to face threats. These mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory(象牙), but also from habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%. Protecting forest elephants and the forests they depend on means we are safeguarding their ecological contributions that we all rely on.
8. How do African forest elephants help relieve climate change
A. They increase the diversity of wildlife species.
B. They help to maintain the plants of the forest.
C. They take in heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere.
D. They promote the net carbon capture ability of the forest.
9. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Consume. B. Preserve. C. Spread. D. Gather.
10. What are the threats facing African forest elephants
A. Illegal hunting and habitat loss.
B. The disturbed balance of the forest ecosystem.
C. Natural disasters resulting from climate change.
D. Competition for water sources with other animals.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Preserving Forests: Elephants’ Contribution
B. New Role of African Forest Elephants: Climate Heroes
C. Ivory Trade Threatens African Forest Elephants
D. Forest Elephants Are Approaching the Edge of Extinction
D
Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors(反射器)placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set.
In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power. Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world’s future solar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size.
The team developed an algorithm (算法)to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun’s rays most effectively, maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day—equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction.
Dr. Onur Celik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.” Moreover, the price of solar panels(太阳能电池板)has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world.
One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective.
12. What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space
A. To improve communication between Earth and space.
B. To bring the effects of climate change under control.
C. To produce electricity for agricultural use.
D. To increase the production of solar power.
13. What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms
A. The increased demand for electricity.
B. The development of space technology.
C. The decrease in the cost of solar panels.
D. The requirement to preserve the environment.
14. What can be inferred about the future of solar farms
A. They’ll replace fossil fuels completely.
B. They’ll be more cost-effective and efficient.
C. They’ll become the primary source of energy.
D. They’ll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A news report. B. A maths website.
C. A marketing brochure. D. A policy brief.

Life will always present challenges, but how you respond to them will lead your life’s tracks. To stay focused when you’re having a hard time, here are some things to keep in mind.
Reset your goals. Do you feel inspired by your life plan, or is it time for a new one Are your goals realistic 16 Taking a moment to pause and reflect will help ensure that your goals are attainable and will help grow your motivation.
17 Don’t be afraid to break your long-term goals into small steps to keep checking off along the way, and adjust the steps as you need. Having one goal is much harder to focus on than a few big goals or many small ones.
Remember what motivates you in the first place. Why do you start It doesn’t matter which motivation drives you. As long as it keeps you going, then it’s practical. Your motivation may look different compared to your friend’s, but that’s OK. 18
Take motivation from others. Talk to your friends or read a book to find inspiration. Be open-minded and learn how others find motivation. 19 Motivation comes from various sources, and listening to others might expand your view on how to gain it.
Take a break. It’s perfectly fine to step away from whatever task you’re working on and take a short break. You can’t expect yourself to keep your motivation for eight hours straight. 20 This allows us to reset our minds, and be more efficient when we need to get back on track.
A. Start small.
B. Reward yourself for your efforts.
C. If not, then take the time to set them again.
D. As a result, having a rest is a good habit to practice.
E. Stick with whatever motivates you, and don’t forget it.
F. The methods they use might cause some motivation for you.
G. Sometimes, you don’t want to do things because of your mood.

Jake and Jullie were celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary (周年纪念日). They decided to make this particular one special. Instead of their usual dinner dates and overseas vacations, the two decided to take this particular anniversary to the next level. For this vacation, they decided to take a trip back to where they first met.
The hike was filled with memories. The two went to many of the spots they had visited on their first trip. It wasn’t until they started looking through the pictures to see which they would keep that something in the background of one of those photographs caught their eyes. There was something in the distance in the picture. It was too small to make out in detail, but it was definitely there.
Jullie wanted to find out whatever that was, so they returned to the spot. Jake had been sure that they wouldn’t find anything there, but the moment he entered the spot, he knew he’d been wrong. Just a few feet away from him and Jullie lay the whitest dog he’d ever seen in his life. Something must have been wrong with it, he thought.
That night, Jake and Jullie found themselves in their accommodation with a new roommate. Throughout the night, the dog hid in a corner. Something was definitely wrong with the dog. Its movements were slow, and no matter what they tried, it didn’t seem to respond.
The next day, Jullie suggested they take the dog to a vet(兽医)and Jake agreed. On getting to the vet’s, they were in for another surprise. The vet hadn’t even examined the creature for one minute before he turned to them with an amused look on his face. “Didn’t you say you found a dog ” he asked. “Yes,” Jake replied. “Well, I’d love to see the dog, but what you’ve found in the woods is not a dog. It’s actually a fox.

参考范文:
Jake and Jullie looked at each other in disbelief. The vet seemed to read their thoughts as he explained that while it was indeed a fox, it had likely been affected by some sort of poisoning, which explained its strange behavior. He confirmed them that with the right treatment, the fox could recover soon and that it would be best if the fox could stay at the clinic for a few days. Feeling a mix of relief and concern, they agreed to the necessary treatments.
Over the next few days, they visited the vet regularly to see the fox. Each time, they were greeted with news of improvement. Finally, the day came when the fox was well enough to be released back into the wild. As the fox rushed away into the woods, they knew that their anniversary trip would be one they would never forget. It had been a journey filled with surprises and challenges, but in the end, it had brought them closer to each other and to the natural world around them.
