Soon, a young mother with a little girl came by and the child set 18 eyes on one of the teddy bears. The mother asked for the 19 and it was only one dollar. She 20 out a 10-dollar note from her handbag and told the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the 21 back. I was wondering how he was going to give it back.

Obama has said that he gives each of his seven and ten-year-old daughters just a dollar a week for their chores, such as setting the table, washing dishes, and cleaning up their play areas and bedrooms.
People have different opinions about paying little kids for doing chores or just giving money to them. Some families think that everyone in the family should do housework, and that kids shouldn’t be paid for doing so. The supporters, however, believe that kids should get paid, and that the money they get will help kids learn important skills of how to use it.
But for those who choose to give the money, it can be a headache deciding on how much they should give, especially in these difficult economic(经济的) times.

Kids can start receiving money around ages 4 or 5, when children start to understand how money works.

self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统)－allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, the head of a research company.

B. will be far from you D. is completely impossible B. a meeting in Songdo D. a report on public health B. control the world’s population D. solve the cities’ coming problems B. Famous Companies D. Smart Cities in the Future D
