Children also learn that there are often strong 23 connected with money.
答案：(B) emotions
語意「金錢常常跟強烈的『情緒』連結在一起」，emotions 符合，呼應後文「他們透過語氣和表情學習父母對金錢的感受」；conventions（慣例）、donations（捐款）、invitations（邀請）都不合。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項都是 -tions 結尾的名詞，長得像、音也接近，是很典型的辨形題；而這一段又剛好在講金錢，donations（捐款）看起來很有關係。這一格的依據在下一句。
四個選項都是名詞，可見這一格考的是語意，那就往後讀一句。下一句是 They learn how their parents feel about money by the tone of voice they use and the look on their faces.（他們從父母說話的語氣和臉上的表情，學會父母對金錢的感受。）——feel（感受）、tone of voice（語氣）、the look on their faces（表情），三個都指向情緒，所以空格填 emotions（情緒）。整句是「孩子也學到金錢常常和強烈的情緒連在一起」。順便把這四個形近字分清楚：emotion（情緒）、convention（慣例、常規；大會）、donation（捐款）、invitation（邀請）。
donations（捐款）：這一段上一句才提過 make donations，很容易被帶走；但「與金錢連結的強烈捐款」語意不通，而且下一句講的是感受不是行為。conventions（慣例）、invitations（邀請）：兩個都與「語氣和表情所透露的東西」對不上。
strong emotions（強烈的情緒）、be connected with（與……相連）、the tone of voice（說話的語氣）、the look on one’s face（臉上的表情）、a social convention（社會慣例）、make a donation（捐款）。
During a money management class, a mother shared her young child's idea about money. Her son believed that when she ran out of money all she had to do was go to a bank machine, put in her ATM card and money would come out. 21 the child didn't quite understand was that his mother had to have money in the bank in the first place to get money out of the machine later.
It may surprise us how much our children already know about money. They learn by watching what their parents do with money. This starts at a very young age. Kids watch their parents 22 things at stores, write checks, use credit cards or even make donations. Children also learn that there are often strong 23 connected with money. They learn how their parents feel about money by the tone of voice they use and the look on their faces.
24 , parents should ask themselves if they want their children to handle money the same way they do. The long-term 25 of teaching children good money habits is well worth the effort. Those who learn good money management skills are more likely to become adults who make sound financial decisions, avoid excessive debt, and reach their financial goals.
