Children may not be stashing coins in piggy banks (储钱罐) for much longer; with the move towards a cashless society, pocket money is moving digital. To reflect this trend, a flurry of mobile budgeting apps for children has sprang up worldwide: GoHemy, Osper and Gimi to name a few.These apps offer a simple money management service for children, often for a monthly subscription free paid by the parents. Parents can add money to children's accounts, set limits and monitor transactions while children can choose to save their money or spend it using a prepaid card that works like a debit card. The apps suggest minimum ages ranging from six to nine for the prepaid card.The companies behind the apps argue that in an increasingly cashless society, they can be a valuable way of teaching young children about money. Two thirds of adults globally are financially illiterate, according to Standard & Poor's Global Financial Literacy Survey, and one in four teenagers are unable to make even simple decisions on everyday spending.These apps aim to overcome this, claiming to teach children financial concepts, such as budgeting, interest rates and income. For instance, the Swedish app Gimi-with 1.2 million users globally—has virtual savings jars where children can deposit money; parents can pay children interest as they save; and there is a chores feature, where parents can pay children for completing household tasks.The account is attached to a prepaid card that is currently available in Sweden only, but expected to launch elsewhere in Europe in 2020.But Catherine Winter, managing director of financial capability at The London Institution of Banking and Finance, warns that while digital tools can help, there needs to be a more structured approach to financial education.The area should "have regular classroom time and ideally should be taught as a separate subject." She says, "Children would then have the right context and foundation to get the most out of both the apps and their money."The growth of digital banking has affected how parents dole out pocket money, with one in three parents in the United Kingdom doing it digitally, according to a recent report by the financial comparison website Money.co.uk. One concern is that introducing digital money apps to young children could help encourage irresponsible spending habits."If children don't have a good foundation in financial capability, there's a risk that money apps could be seen as just another game," says Winter. "There's a risk that they won't learn about the real value of money and might develop bad money habits." However, Philip Haglund says children are protected from this as parents can monitor their spending habits and none of the services offer an overdraft so children can not go into debt.Plus, it is important for kids to learn and make mistakes, says Guichard. "We want to he help kids and teenagers gain financial skills for life, and the earlier you do that the better, because if you're going to make a mistake of ￡ 10 at eight, it's better than making a mistake of ￡ 1,000 when you're 28," he says.1、 What is the major role of mobile app? ______A.Buying favorite goods.B.Paying fees for parents.C.Managing pocket money.D.Keeping an eye on children.2、 According to the passage, the Swedish app Gimi can ______.E.guide parents to manage companiesF.give children basic ideas of financeG.guide children to do their homeworkH.teach parents how to invest their money3、 What can we infer from Philip Hag words? ______I.A degree in economics guarantees the capability of managing money.J.Gyberspace is the best medium for children to get financial knowledge.K.The app Gimi helps children develop positive attitudes towards money.L.Cash transactions are abstract and difficult for most people to understand.4、 What does Catherine Winter suggest regarding financial education? ______M.It should be well organized.N.It should be done in cyberspace.O.It should be provided by parents.P.It should be a self-taught subject.5、 What is the passage mainly about? ______Q.A new way of saving money at a local bank.R.A new way of teaching children about money.S.A new course on gaining financial knowledge.T.A new method of maintain online transactions.
"Hypotheses，"said Medawarin 1964，"are imaginative and inspirational in character"； they are"adventures of the mind"．He was arguing in favour of the position taken by Karl Popper that the nature of scientific method is hypothetico-deductive and not，as is generally believed，inductive．The myth（误区） of scientific method is that it is inductive：that the formulation of scientific theory starts with the basic，raw evidence of the senses-simple，fair，unprejudiced observation．Out of these sensory data-commonly referred to as"facts"-generalisations will form．The myth is that from a disorderly collection of factual information an orderly，relevant theory will somehow come out．However，the starting point of induction is an impossible one．There is no such thing as an unprejudiced observation．Every act of observation we make is a function of what we have seen or otherwise experienced in the past．All scientific work of an experimental or exploratory nature starts with some expectation about the outcome．This expectation is a hypothesis．Hypotheses provide the motivation for the inquiry（探究），and influence the method．It is in the light of an expectation that some observations are held to be relevant and some irrelevant，that one method is chosen and others abandoned，that some experiments are conducted and others are not．Hypotheses arise by guesswork，or by inspiration，but having been started they can and must be tested thoroughly，using the appropriate method．If the predictions you make as a result of deducing certain consequences from your hypothesis are not shown to be correct then you abandon or adjust your hypothesis．If the predictions turn out to be correct then your hypothesis has been supported and may be kept until such time as some further test shows it not to be correct．Once you have arrived at your hypothesis，which is a product of your imagination，you then move on to a strictly logical and thorough process，based upon deductive argument-therefore the term"hypothetico-deductive"．So don't worry if you have some idea of what your results will tell you before you even begin to collect data； there are no scientists in existence who really wait until they have all the evidence in front of them before they try to work out what it might possibly mean．The closest we ever get to this situation is when something happens by accident； but even then the researcher has to make a hypothesis to be tested before being sure that，for example，a medicine might prove to be a successful solution to bacterial（细菌） infection．The hypothetico-deductive method describes the logical approach to much research work，but it does not describe the psychological behaviour that brings it about．The psychological behaviour is a much more complicated process-involving guesses，reworkings，corrections，and above all inspiration，in the deductive as well as the hypothetic component．However，describing the logical approach is like writing the final thesis（毕业论文） or published papers of research work．These theses and papers have been，quite properly，organised into a more logical order so that the worth of the output may be evaluated independently of the behavioural processes by which it was obtained．It is the difference，for example between the academic papers with which Crick and Watson demonstrated the structure of the DNA molecule（分子） and the fascinating book The Double Helix in which Watson （1968）described how they did it．From this point of view，the scientific method may more usefully be thought of as a way of writing up research rather than as a way of carrying it out．65．What is right about the deductive method and the inductive method according to the author？ ____ A．They cannot exist in a research at the same time．B．The former one is of greater importance than the latter．C．The latter one is more scientific than the former one．D．The former is closer to the nature of scientific research．66．Which of the following best supports the author's main opinion shown in paragraph 2？ ____ A．Usually facts are more convincing than predictions．B．People always observe based on what they have seen or experienced．C．It is impossible to generalize disorder facts into orderly theories．D．People all begin scientific work with the observation of evidences．67．Which of the following about a hypothesis is right？ ____ A．It functions as a guide in the process of a scientific research．B．It works as a means that can help make unprejudiced observations．C．It is an expectation unrelated to guesswork and inspiration．D．It is a prediction which will be arrived at sooner or later．68．According to the author，a good scientific research is a process ____ ．A．starting from details and ending in generalisationsB．where observations play more role than expectations doC．where hypothesis are gradually tested before finally approvedD．which cannot be started before enough evidences are collected69．What does the last sentence of the passage mean？ ____ A．The hypothetico-deductive method plays an important role in describing a research．B．The scientific method is more a way of describing research than a way of doing it．C．Describing the logical approach is harder than describing the psychological behaviour．D．Writing up a scientific research paper is as difficult as carrying out the research．70．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？ ____ A．Generalisations of Scientific TheoryB．Hypotheses of Scientific Research．C．The Psychological BehaviourD．The Scientific Method．

Developing a good relationship with your parents is very important if you want to create a strong foundation of trust, love and understanding that will help you build your own life.

Show respect for your parents' opinions and choices even if you do not always agree with them. Try to treat your parents with kindness and show you appreciate them.

I suggest that the manager should handle the problem in another way.A. 我建议经理换个方式来处理这个问题。B. 我建议经理应该从另一个角度来看这个问题。C. 我建议经理应该先处理问题的一个方面
Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.In London, over half of the homes built between 1919 and 1980 had one garage. But many are becoming needless. Between 2002 and 2012 the proportion of vehicles kept in garages at night dropped from22% to 14%. This is in part because some households now have more cars than garage space. But it is also because big modern cars do not fit in older garages, says David Leibling, a transport expert. Few rust when left outside, and many are more difficult to steal: between 2003 and 2013 the number of vehicle being stolen in England and Wales fell 76%. Instead, garages now solve a different set of problems.Householders unable to move to larger homes have taken to filling their garages with unnecessary and unwanted things. Some garages have been converted for aging parents for their convenience, says Paul Bishop, who runs a garage conversion company in Bedfordshire. Also, some young people unable on unwilling to leave home may have an option to live in the garage. In addition, a garage may be rented too young folks fond of music. It is more often than not, an ideal place to freely play music.However, many publicly owned garages lie empty. Of the 6,000 garages owned by Hackney council around 40% are free. Over 3,000 garages owned by ten housing associations are unused and the land they take up is unfit for building homes upon, says Steve OConnell, a councilor(议员) at the London Assembly. He thinks they could be tuned into small offices. That has already happened in places such as Berlin.Nevertheless converting garages can be troublesome, says Bill Hodgson of University College London. Few councils are enthusiastic enough to truly support the idea and put it into practice. A recent proposal tum some garages in north London into shelters for the homeless has been rejected; councilors feared that local residents would not approve. Getting planning permission can be complex, and developing on local authority land is often faced with various kinds of problems. Like the garages themselves, these plans may be useless and abandoned.(1) (单选题)In the viewpoint of David Leibling, many garages are unused for vehicles in that.A.the number of vehicles in the garages being stolen decreases by 76%B.big modern vehicles are covered with rust when placed in the garagesC.big modern vehicles do not suit older garagesD.some families have more garages than vehicle(2) (单选题)What does Paul Bishop say about garage conversion?A.The converted garages provide an easy life for old parents.B.It is more difficult to convert the garage for aging people.C.Empty garages can be used to settle social problems.D.Aging parents fill their garages with useless things.(3) (单选题)For some young people, the needless garage .A.is rented by them to make moneyB.is seen as a choice of accommodationC.is perfect to store music instrumentsD.is an ideal place to freely host parties(4) (单选题)What do we learn about publicly owned garages?A.40% of them are rented free of charge to the councilors.B.Many of them have been pulled down to make way for houses.C.40% of garages owned by Hackney council have been occupied.D.Many of them in Berlin have been converted into small offices.(5) (单选题)What do we learn from the last paragraph?A.Few councilors are opposed to the conversion proposal.B.Local residents permit the homeless to live in the garages.C.The local authority agrees with the planning of garage conversion.D.It is complicated to obtain the planning consent to the conversion.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty
