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.

I like reading. I love many different kinds of books, because they not only open my mind but also   {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(鼓励;激励) me a lot.

Up to now I have read a lot of books, such as magazines, storybooks and  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(长篇小说). But one of the books that I like best is The Story of My Life. Helen Keller wrote it in 1903. She was a blind and deaf  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(人). In the book, she wrote that she had not been able to see, hear or speak  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(自……以来) she was one year and seven months old. This unusual thing made her very sad. Luckily, she  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(遇见) her good teacher, Miss Sullivan, at the age of seven. Helen was getting  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(更高兴的) every day. Then, Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words. At first, Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen's hands  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(用……) her own fingers again and again. Helen was a very hard-working girl. She tried as much as possible to   {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (记住) words. After that, she wrote many famous works, which was a huge   {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(成功;成就) for anyone like her.

It shows us an important truth: Nothing is difficult if you put your  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(心) into it! This is why I like the book best.

Ye Jiaying, also known as Florence Yeh, was selected as one of the ten role models who won 2020 Touching China awards, a program by the CCTV.

Ye Jiaying was born into a family of scholars in July 1924 in Beijing. As an expert in the study of classical Chinese literature (文学), she started her lifelong career as a literature teacher in 1945 when she graduated from Fu Jen Catholic Unisersity, which later became part of Beijing Nonnal University.

In 1948, towards the end of the Chinese civil war, Ye and her husband moved to Taiwan. She gained popularity in Taiwan. With students speaking highly of her teaching, she was recruited by Taiwan University, Fu Jen University and Tamkang University to leach Chinese literature.

 In 1966, the couple moved to the United States, where Ye first taught Chinese poetry at Michigan State University and then at Harvard University. Later, they moved to Canada and she worked as a tenured professor at the University of Columbia in Canada.

Beginning in 1979, Ye began spending summers teaching at various Chinese colleges, including famous universities such as Beijing University, Nankai University and Fudan University. She offered her services for free and paid her own travel expenses (开销). She believes that her teaching is the best gift she can offer to the country and later generations.

In 2013, she came back to China and worked in Nankai University. She has settled down in Tianjin since then. The university announced (宣布) that Ye had donated 18.57 million yuan ($2.8 million) to the college to set up the Jiaying Scholarship.

According to the speech which explained why she won the 2020 Touching China awards, Ye Jiaying devoted herself to teaching Chinese poems. She only did one thing in her life, bringing the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry to the world.

Li Na is a middle school student. Last term, while she was watching a clothing show on TV, a kind of traditional clothes called hanfu 1 her eye . How she wished to have her own hanfu!

She told her 2 that she wanted one. Her mom thought for a while and said," You can have one if you make 3 by the end of this term." She felt disappointed(失望的) but decided to make it. After that , she studied 4 than before. Whenever she faced difficulties, she tried her best to 5 them. Sometimes she 6 giving up, but she fought on. Then, in the final 7 , she made great progress. And her mom was 8 with her. 9 , the" big" day came. When she got home one afternoon, she saw a beautiful big box on the table:" Wow, hanfu!" Her wish 10 .

On a sunny Saturday, Li Na wore her own hanfu to a park with her family. There,a lot of people were attracted by her 11 including some foreign children. Li Na introduced hanfu to them 12 . She told them that hanfu—a13 of Chinese culture, is getting more and more popular. That day, she enjoyed the beauty of hanfu and experienced the traditional culture.

Looking back at the 14 days, she thinks she has got a lot more than the new clothes. Whenever she sees hanfu, it 15 her that hard work can help people get what they want.

Judie's class were studying Chinese culture. One day her teacher went into the classroom with some kites. He told them that kites {#blank#}1{#/blank#} invented in China more than two thousand years ago. At the end of the class, he said," Chinese people make kites that mean something important to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . I hope each of you to, make a kite that means something important to you. Then you will have a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}understanding of kites than before." 

 Judie decided to ask her dad for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} because it was her first time to make a kite." What can you think of when you see a kite?" her dad asked. Judie {#blank#}5{#/blank#}for moment and answered," Butterflies."

 Judie's dad agreed that it would be a good {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to make a butterfly kite. They made a cross with some wood sticks. Then Judie {#blank#}7{#/blank#} outterfly on a piece of white paper. Next, they stuck the paper on the cross. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they tied a long tail to the bottom.

 The next morning, they took the kite to the park and tested it." Wow!" Judie cried proudly. " How {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it flies!"

" Judie, can you tell me {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you like butterflies?" asked her dad.
