【題目】閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文中的信息完成文后表格。在答題卡標有題號的橫線上，寫出空缺處所填單詞的正確形式。（每空一詞）

Researchers from two universities at Chicago discovered 550 children, ages three to six, to learn about how money affects children. The result proved money makes children work harder, but it also makes them less giving.

To avoid raising a selfish generation, parents should talk to their children about money in the following ways according to the Money Advice Service.

Start young

With a five-year-old son or daughter, parents can start talking to them about different types of coins and let them pay for things when out shopping, so they get used to using money.

Open a savings account

Opening a savings account for your child is a great way to show them how their money can grow. It will also start to teach them the very basic ways to invest(投資) and save money.

Provide chances to earn money

Provide chances for your kids to earn money. Encourage them to work for it. From a young age, offer payment for “extra” work around the house and yard.

Make it step by step

Parents should introduce their child's education about money step by step.

If parents haven't spoken before about savings and how to use money, don't jump in with one long chat, as it will become boring with money grows.

Be consistent（堅持的）

Although most parents give their children pocket money, only 36% of parents say they do so regularly. Being irregular can actually make it harder for children to learn about using money.

【解析】

文章大意：本文主要講述了人們應該如何去和孩子談論金錢。

【1】根據(jù)parents should talk to their children about money in the following ways according to the Money Advice Service.可知，本文的標題應為：如何去和你的孩子談論金錢，how“如何、怎樣”，故答案填How。

【2】根據(jù)本行所對應的內(nèi)容可知，這些都是父母和孩子談論金錢的原因和理由，reason(s)“原因、理由”，故答案填Reason(s)。

【3】根據(jù)The result proved money makes children work harder, but it also makes them less giving.可知，金錢會讓孩子們更努力，付出更少，“付出”giving，故答案填giving。

【4】根據(jù)To avoid raising a selfish generation, parents should talk to their children about money可知，我們應該和孩子們討論錢的問題，以防止他們變得自私。become系動詞，后接形容詞作表語，故答案填selfish。

【5】根據(jù)With a five-year-old son or daughter, parents can start talking to them about different types of coins and let them pay for things when out shopping, so they get used to using money.可知，從五歲開始和你的孩子談論金錢，讓他們習慣使用金錢，故答案填5/five。

【6】根據(jù)Opening a savings account for your child is a great way to show them how their money can grow. It will also start to teach them the very basic ways to invest(投資) and save money.可知，為您的孩子開設儲蓄賬戶，幫助他們學習基本的投資和省錢方法，and連接兩個并列成分，根據(jù)investing可知，故答案填saving。

【7】根據(jù)Provide chances for your kids to earn money.可知，給你的孩子一個賺錢的機會，“機會”chance，前面有不定冠詞a，所以用其單數(shù)形式，故答案填chance。

【8】根據(jù)Parents should introduce their child's education about money step by step.可知，父母應該逐步教育孩子關于金錢的知識。根據(jù)題干可知這里是祈使句，所以應用動詞原形，“教育”educate，動詞，因其位于句首所以第一個字母要大寫，故答案填Educate。

【9】根據(jù)don't jump in with one long chat, as it will become boring with money grows.可知，盡量不要和孩子有很長時間的聊天，否定孩子會感到無聊，這里是形容人的感受，所以用bored“無聊的”，故答案填bored。

【10】根據(jù)Although most parents give their children pocket money, only 36% of parents say they do so regularly. Being irregular can actually make it harder for children to learn about using money.可以推知，父母應該定期地給孩子零花錢，“定期地”regularly，副詞，修飾前面的動詞，故答案填regularly。
