A.make her daughter look less ridiculous B.let her daughter dress up like her friends C.make her daughter go to a spa every week D.let her daughter feel herself what beauty is 答案 65.A 66.C 67.D Passage 44 A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money.The findings,the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money,are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before. University tuition fees are currently capped at ￡3,000 annually,but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling. In the research,the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest.The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average ￡31,000 by the age of 25,although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just ￡17,815.The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training,although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than ￡10,000.Average debts for graduates are ￡12,363. Stephen Moir,head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest,said,“The more exposed young people are to financial issues,and the younger they become aware of them,the more likely they are to become responsible,forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively. Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs.They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts.Nikki Fairweather,aged 15,from St Helens,said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance,but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money. 【查看更多】

    My children go to a primary school where they are not allowed to play football in the playground for fear that a child might be hurt. Besides, now the school says there must be no homework because the local secondary school can't keep up with the amount of homework given in the primary school. Can the school do this?    Puzzled Dad

    It can't if enough parents do something about it. It is not just schools. We live in a society which wishes to get rid of risk. However, schools should have a little common sense and courage. Children need risk if they arc to grow up self-sufficient and confident. They need homework, too, if they are to fulfill their academic potential. Complain, loudly.

    I have a beautiful teenage daughter who spends an hour making up her face in front of the mirror every day. I tell her to go easy. She just gets mad or bursts into tears. How can I make her understand she's beautiful the way she is.       Plain Mom

    You can't. Your daughter is at the age when she's trying to look beautiful, trying on new masks. And if her friends all dress up as she does, you're in for an extra hard time. Support her and tell her she's beautiful — even if she looks ridiculous for now. Then invite her to join you for a day at a spa. Let her try various looks until she's comfortable in her own skin.

    Why are the children not allowed to play football in the playground?

    A. The school is afraid that children might be injured.

    B. The school is not sensible and confident.

    C. The children don't have enough time to do homework.

    D. The children may fail to fulfill their academic potential.

    What disturbs Plain Mom is that her daughter______.

    A. becomes mad                                       B. cries a lot

    C. spends much time before the mirror    D. is not beautiful enough

    The solution to Plain Mom's problem is to______.

    A. make her daughter look less ridiculous           B. let her daughter dress up like her friends

    C. make her daughter go to a spa every week   D. let her daughter feel herself what beauty is

    What does the underlined word spa mean?

    A. a place where water with minerals in it           B. a place where people can relax

    C. a beauty salon                             D. a swimming pool
