Matt jumped into bed. His father sat down beside him.

"What kind of day did you have?" he asked.

"It was a bad day for me," Matt answered. "I had a fight with Ned. The teacher sent a note home about me. And Mom talked about it with me."

"Yes, part of the day was bad," Mr. Gold said. "But there were good parts, too. Now it's time to go to sleep. So, tell me about the best thing today."

Matt smiled. "After school I went fishing," he said. "No one wanted to go with me. So I had to go alone. I didn't think I would have any fun. But I did! I caught a fish!"

"I'm glad you had a good time," Mr. Gold said. "Think about it until(直到)you go to sleep. Happy dreams!"

"Good night, Dad," Matt said.

His father kissed(亲吻)him good night.

Every night, Mr. Gold and Matt have a little talk like this.

Every night, Matt answers the same question. "What was the best thing that happened to you today?"

Every night Matt goes to sleep thinking about the best thing. He has many happy dreams!

Sometimes he has to think hard to find the best thing. Sometimes it is a very small thing. But he always finds one good thing to think about.

Matt's father taught his son a good way to end his day. You may want to try it. If you do, why not begin this every night?

    In 2009 a group of parents in Lymington started sharing worries about their children's money-management skills. Pocket money was now stored in a building society rather than a piggy bank (储蓄罐); household shopping was done online; the children rarely saw their parents handling cash. They were spending online, too. Money had become intangible. How, then, were children to learn its value?

The answer they came up with was GoHenry, an app now available in America as well as Britain. It is designed to help young people learn good spending habits through real-world money activities. Parents sign up with their own bank accounts and pay a monthly fee of £2.99 or $3.99 for each child aged six or over. Adults and children download separate versions. Parents can schedule pocket money and set chores. When those are marked as done, the child is paid the agreed amount. Parents can see what the child has bought and where. And they can choose where the card can be used: in shops, online or at ATMs.

Children get cards printed with their name. They can put money in savings pots, view their spending and balances, and set savings targets. "They could decide to save ten dollars for a friend's birthday in four weeks' time, or set a goal at 12 to have $2,000 to buy a car at age 18," says Dean Brauer, one of GoHenry's founders. "The app tells them how much to save each week to meet their goal."

A big benefit of such apps is that they inspire family conversations about money. According to the latest research, more than half of British parents find the subject hard to discuss with their children. And yet most agree that children's attitudes to money are formed in their early years.

Some GoHenry customers are wealthy parents who worry that their children will grow up with little knowledge of money. Others have slim incomes but regard the app as a preparation for their child's future. Some say that they have been in debt and want their children to avoid that mistake when they grow up; others that the app is cost-effective because their children learn to plan spending. Even though young people no longer touch and hold money, they can still be taught to handle it well.

Bex Lindsay's dream was to be a host. From a young age, she was very 1 in radio. In her childhood she often pretended (假装) to host her own shows on Bex Radio while 2 her parents' CDs. At that time Lindsay wanted very much to work at Fun Kids, a radio station 3 young listeners, so she sent them a strange recording, hoping to be accepted.

"In the old host-to-be performance, the final thing you were 4 to do was to jump on a trampoline (蹦床) while interviewing 5, "she told the reporter, "I didn't have a trampoline and I didn't want to do it in front of anyone else, so I interviewed myself while jumping on my bed, having the recording made. "

Lindsay's recording really 6 and she was asked to host the Sunday breakfast show. Now she hosts a popular program and she loves radio more than ever. She says, "My 7 as the host is kind of to be a listener, so I will ask questions that other people would want to ask."

When she is asked how she has been 8, Lindsay says, "First of all, keep the dream in your mind and 9 give up. "She adds, "Hosting isn't about how high up in the world you are; its about having a good 10 and a good idea. Go and do it."
