Last Wednesday, about 7,400 American bankers went back to school again. This timethey did not go to learn—they went to teach. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 1997，the American Bankers Association hassponsored Teach Children to Save Day. Every April 26, bankers across the USAteach over 1.5 million primary and secondary school students how to handle {#blank#}2{#/blank#}money.

      In the USA, children, especially teenagers, are often big spenders. In 2013, forexample, American teenagers spent $175 billion. This is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} average of $104per week per teenager. Few teenagers have any savings. They typically spendmoney as fast as they can. Nearly all will continue their {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(spend) habits whenthey grow up.

      It's necessary that children learn proper money management {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they are stillyoung. The bankers show students how to budget and make smart {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(decide)about money. They explain how to balance their expenses against their income.They help the students understand their family's shopping and householdexpenses as well. Of course，students{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(teach) how to invest and save money too.

AsBenjamin Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Moreover, money{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(save) at interest can increase greatly in value over time. Children, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}adults, need to understand the value of saving money. This is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} TeachChildren to Save Day is all about.

    The Spring Festival, also known as the Lunar New Year, is the most important {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(tradition) festival in China, which falls in late January or early February.

    The historical reason for beginning the New Year in such a time is{#blank#}2{#/blank#} it is the time between autumn harvest and spring plowing and planting. In other words, it is the time for rest, relaxation and celebration after a year's hard work.

    Except this practical reason for celebrating the Spring Festival, a popular Chinese legend offers another {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (explain), which is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (general) accepted in China. In ancient times, a devil called “Nian” that lived under the sea would attack people once a year on the eve of the New Year. It jumped out from the sea and attacked villages{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (eat) people, animals and plants. As they could no longer bear Nian's cruel persecution（迫害）, the villagers gathered {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (discuss) how to deal with Nian and some people suggested that the devil was afraid of loud noises, red color and flame. So people {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (light) firecrackers and fireworks, put up red couplets on{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) gates and beat drums to drive Nian away. The idea worked{#blank#}9{#/blank#}Nian ran away.

    Since ever, the custom and tradition of celebrating the Spring Festival has formed and the practices of putting up red couplets on gates, setting {#blank#}10{#/blank#} firecrackers and fireworks, etc. have been passed down.

    A graduation speech given by Chief Justice John Roberts became a talking point after The Washington Post published it.

    Roberts {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(address)his son's ninth grade graduating class. He advised the young graduates{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take)life's setbacks in their stride(从容地). But he did not wish{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they)good luck.

    “Now, the speakers will typically also wish you good luck and extend good {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wish) to you. I will not do that, and I will tell you why,” Roberts said.

    “From time to time, in the years to come, I hope you will be treated {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(unfair), so that you will come to know the value of justice. Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time, so that you don't take friends {#blank#}6{#/blank#}granted. I wish you bad luck again, from time to time, so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand your success is not completely deserved and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the failure of others is not completely deserved either.”

    He continued, “I hope you{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(ignore), so you know the importance of listening to others{#blank#}9{#/blank#}I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion.”

    In the end, each graduate received a pocket-size copy of the Constitution {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sign) by Roberts.
