The Dutch honored this kindly saint with a yearly festival on December sixth. The Dutch spoke the name “Saint Nikolas” very fast. It sounded like “sinterklaas”. And so, when the English said this word, it sounded like “Santa Claus”. West of New York, in Pennsylvania, many German farmers had also heard of Saint Nikolas.But they cal1ed him “Pelznickel”. This word came from “pelz”, meaning fur, and “nickel” for Nicholas. So, to the Germans of Pennsylvania，“Pelznickel” was a man dressed in fur who came once a year with gifts for good children. Soon, people began to feel that the 1ove and kindness Pelznickel brought should be part of a celebration honoring the “Christkindl”, as the Germans ca1led the Christ child. After a time, this became Kris Kringle. Later, Kris Kringle became another name for Santa Claus himself.Whatever he is called, he is still the same short, fat, jolly old man with a long beard, wearing a red suit with white fur.The picture of Santa Claus as we see him came from Thomas Nast. He was an Americanpainter born in Bavaria. Someone asked him to paint a picture of Santa Claus. Nast remembered when he was a little boy in southern Germany Every Christmas, a fat old man gave toys and cakes to the children. So, when Nast painted the picture, his Santa Claus looked like the kindly old man of his childhood. And through the years, Nasts painting has remained as the most popular picture of Santa Claus.Santa can be seen almost everywhere.

The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.At first, young children may spend all of their allowance in no time. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget, which demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.But it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future.Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personalfinance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year，the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.66. Which of the following can be the main idea of the text?A. Giving Children Allowances makes good lessons.B. Some different ways to give children allowance.C. How to help children 1earn to handle their money.D. The more children are paid，the better they will learn.67. According to the writer，children can benefit from receiving an allowance .A. because their mistakes dont cost muchB. because they can spend money at willC. because they can learn to save moneyD. because they can learn to manage money68. According to the text，it is considered a bad idea for parents to .A. give children freedom to spend moneyB. pay children for common houseworkC. let children understand how business worksD. help children learn about personal finance69. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the ways children can deal with money!A. Donating their money to the poor.B. Buying a desirable new cell phone.C. Setting costly goals for themselves.D. Saving it in a personal bank account.70. What does the writer intend to do through the last paragraph?A. To show the importance of children allowance.B. To explain how compounding interest works.C. To justify the habit of saving money.D. To promote a new bank service.DCNN news-Jan. l6, 2013Protests have been going on for about a week now in the northern Irish capital of Belfast.

What causes it is not clear. Scientists are studying genes and possible environmental influences. Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis of autism until a child is about three years old. Researchers want to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier.3 At six months of age, the signs of some risk for developing autism include motor delays. Like when you lay your baby on their back and you pull them by the arms gently into a seated position the babys head may nod back behind the shoulders, like poor head control. That does not mean that the baby is going to have autism，but it does mean the baby needs to have some exercises to strengthen their body. And when they strengthen their body，t
