(B)

American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects,even if they are wealthier.But neither are children expected to compare with the richer if a large family,heavy responsibilities,or other conditions make it necessary to give a child less spending money than is customary(惯例的)in the neighborhood.

Whatever the pocket money is,its entire use is not controlled by the parents,because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself.If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up,he gets no idea what the real use for the money is.He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear.The idea of a bank account(账号)is too early for so small a child,although he can be made to understand and enjoy saving his coins---not all of them,only a part of what he receives---to buy something he especially wants.By the time he is eight he is old enough to take part in the opening of his own savings account.Parents may take him to the bank,open a savings account for him,and encourage him to put a certain quantity of any checks he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his bank savings grow as entry is made.He will be saving,earning,and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends.The boy who can't join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while,because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown project his parents have chosen for him,is a sorry child.

Many Chinese people who have been to the United States think that Americans pay a little part of their money for food each day.Yet,in the latest 13 years,food prices have gone up 30%for most American families.Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply.But who is really responsible(有责任的)?

Many people say the farmers who produce the vegetables,fruit,meat,eggs are responsible.But farmers explain that the rise in food prices is very small compared to the rise in their cost of living.Farmers think middlemen(中间人)have got much more money than they do.Middlemen are those people who stand between the farmers and the people who buy and eat the food.For example truck drivers,owners of food stores and so on.Are middlemen really responsible for higher food prices?

Economists(经济学家)don't think so.They have found that the money that meat packers(包装商)and food stores get is less than 1%in all.They say that food costs more now because modern housewives have jobs outside the home.They have less time for cooking after a day's work.They prefer to buy ready-made food.They want to buy many kinds of food that can be put on their dining tables easily and quickly.But of course they must be prepared to pay for the services(服务)of those who make their work easier.
