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.
答案:(B) As a result
語意「因此,父母應該自問是否希望孩子用跟自己一樣的方式處理金錢」,As a result(因此)承接前文說明孩子透過觀察學習父母理財方式的邏輯,帶出這個建議;By contrast(相反地)、On the spot(當場)、In addition(此外)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。
四個選項都是轉承語,而這一段一直在補充孩子怎麼學金錢觀,In addition(此外)看起來很順。但這一句不是再補一點,是從前面整段推出一個結論。
四個選項都是轉承語,可見這一格考的是這一句與前面的關係。前面幾句一路在說:孩子從觀察父母學會用錢,也從語氣和表情學會對金錢的感受。本句是 ___ , parents should ask themselves if they want their children to handle money the same way they do.(……,父母應該自問,是否希望孩子用和自己一樣的方式處理金錢。)——既然孩子是照著父母學的,父母就該檢視自己的示範,這是從前面推出的結果,填 As a result(因此)。注意這一句還出現了 should(應該),是一句建議;建議之所以成立,正是因為前面那些觀察,因果關係很清楚。
In addition(此外):同向累加,但這一句不是再補一項觀察,是把前面的觀察轉成一個提醒。By contrast(相較之下):要拿兩件相反的事並排比較,本段沒有。On the spot(當場、立刻):講的是時間或地點,不是句子之間的邏輯關係。
as a result(因此)、as a result of(由於)、ask oneself(自問)、handle money(處理金錢)、the same way(用同樣的方式)、on the spot(當場)。
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.
