Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money.So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things,candy or toys,for example.
1）The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have.If he wants to have a toy，give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier（收银员） When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money，you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
2）Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.If you must say no to a child's request to spend money，explain，“You have enough toy trucks for now.”Or，if the request is for many different things，say，“You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
3）
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product—a namebrand butter and a generic（一般的），for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money. If he chooses the cheaper brand，allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later，you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A．Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
B．The value of money.
C．The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.
D．Tell your child why he can—or cannot—have certain things.
E．Wise decisions。
F．Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you.
G．Permit the child to choose between them.
A strong memory depends on the health and vitality（活力）of your brain. They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn't true. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you'll be able to process and remember information.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Don't skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn't mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.
Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.
Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain's worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.
Have a laugh. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it's not just what you eat—it's also what you don't eat.
A. Eat a brain-boosting diet. B. Play games with memory. C. Laughter is the best medicine. D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain. E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference! F. You have to shake things up from time to time! G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change. |

A. That's why habits are so powerful. B. The ground work of all happiness is good health. C. Early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise. D. The habit of respect means treating everyone with kindness. E. Nothing will ever make you happier than having faith in yourself. F. When you rest better, you can live better and achieve more happiness. G. There is no stage in life when we can't be learning something valuable. |

Happiness comes to those who are curious.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} As long as you live, there will always be something to learn, and as long as you follow your heart and your passions, you won't miss out on learning.

A day well spent gets you a good night sleep.
