【解析】

试题分析: 本文准要讲了大多数家长都会给孩子零花钱，但是钱的数量是特定的，家长这样做的目的就是希望孩子可以自己经营自己的钱，孩子们拿到这些钱可以做他们想做的事情。

【1】F 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：空后的意思是：为什么父母只给他们一定数目的钱。所以这里选F（一个主要的原因就是要使孩子学会经营他们的钱。）与上下文一致。

【2】B 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：父母给孩子的钱的数量每个家庭之间又不一样。空后的意思是：一些孩子是一周给一次。所以这里选B（这也考虑到了时间的因素。）与上下文一致。

【3】G考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：父母通常被建议不要给孩子太多的钱。所以这里选G（通过这样做，孩子们将会学会花费必须在预算的前提下。）与上下文一致。

【4】C考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：一些专家认为支付给孩子们工资是不明智的。所以这里选C（因为帮助家庭是家庭生活的一部分。）与上下文一致。

【5】A考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：他们可以买他们想买的。空后的意思是：存钱可以使孩子们理解花费是需要牺牲的。所以这里选A（他们可以存钱以为将来使用。）与上下文一致。
