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.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}we all know, cultural relics belong {#blank#}2{#/blank#}the people all over the world. Nowadays, more and more people are interested in the topic about {#blank#}3{#/blank#}to protect cultural relics such as places of interest, old city {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wall), folk arts and so on. Some even advise {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(devote) to new culture exhibitions in order to educate the public. As {#blank#}6{#/blank#}matter of fact, the Chinese government has been {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(concern) about the topic and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(take) measures. At the same time, more and more foreigners are coming to enjoy Chinese culture,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}we are sure the interest in Chinese relics abroad will be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(great).

    The first foreign language I studied was French, and I learnt it at a secondary school between the ages of 11 and 18. It was a compulsory subject for the first three years and I{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (choose) to continue studying it afterwards because I enjoyed it, found it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (interest) and was quite good at it. Outside class I practiced {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(listen) to the French language radio and reading French books.

    Before going to university, I spent three months working on {#blank#}4{#/blank#}farm in southern France. This helped me become pretty fluent{#blank#}5{#/blank#} French and acquire a rich farming-related vocabulary.

    My French has also been {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(help) on holiday on Morocco and Portugal. French {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (use) as a second language in Morocco and in other countries quite a few people speak French in places {#blank#}8{#/blank#}a lot of tourists visit.

    In September 2009 I joined a couple of French conversation {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(group) in Bangor and I have been going to them ever since. It has resulted in my{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(improve) in my spoken French.

    Now I can still speak French fluently and can also read it well, but my written French is not so good.

    Confucius(孔子) is honored {#blank#}1{#/blank#} setting the tone for much traditional Chinese music for thousands of years. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (think) to be a music teacher and a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (talent) musician who was able to play several instruments expertly. Perhaps for other people around the world, music was meant mainly for amusement.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} during the time of the Zhou Dynasty about 500 BC, music had an important role in making society stable.

    How music was used and performed is expressed in several main Confucian books. Confucius taught that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (educate) somebody, you should start with poems, emphasize ceremonies, and finish with music.

    Musical knowledge was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} matter of higher learning. It is said that he thought of the six most important {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (subject) to study, ranking music higher than the other five necessary subjects like writing and mathematics.

    Music was so important because the ideal society was to be governed by ritual (礼制) functions, but not by law. In a culture {#blank#}8{#/blank#} people function according to ritual, music is used to help govern them. So music wasn't really {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (entertain), but a means for musicians to accomplish political and social goals. Music is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (eventual) a means for social happiness.

    When Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her way to accept her best actress Oscar one year, her pink princess-like Dior dress {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (capture) in all its glory. The unscripted moment became hot topic throughout social media.

    That bonus air-time for a single dress at one of the world's global events is priceless for the likes of Dior, one of the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (influential) fashion houses in the luxury marketplace.

    Success on the red carpet can earn exposure and profits for luxury brands for years {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (come). The red carpet, which will be televised live before Academy Award ceremony, presents a great opportunity for a designer to reach an audience that expands {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the fashion setting. The Lawrence dress received about 40 million mentions on various social media.

    One way of estimating the monetary benefits of having a standout dress on the red carpet is to compare how much a brand would otherwise spend on commercial advertising during the same time. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Lawrence had only 75 seconds of solo camera time for her Oscar acceptance speech, Dior had to pay more than $4 million for a commercial spot of the same duration on similar occasions. And this didn't include the time {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (devote) to Lawrence and her dress on the pre-show televised red carpet. Lawrence, 23, had an advertising contract with Dior. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the group's deal with Lawrence affected its sales was clearly stated in its annual financial report. That year, the group clothing section's profits {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (total)165 million euros, up 26 percent from the previous year.

    Heston, the founder of a publicity firm, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} success stories include introducing Jimmy Choo shoes and designer Saab to Hollywood, believes that the Oscar red carpet is today dominated by established luxury brands. Finding it much more difficult to compete with big brand names to dress super stars on big events, many young designers turn to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (bet) on promising rising stars, expecting an overnight success if the young stars rise to sudden fame.
