(A)
American parents usually think that their child （25）have less pocket money than the children whom he often connects with even if they are wealthier. And they don’t expect their children to compare with the richer if some conditions make （26）impossible for the children to get the same pocket money （27）the children in the neighborhood.
The pocket money is not controlled by the parents, because a child can learn to use money correctly （28）dealing with it himself. If a 7 – year – old child gets one dollar as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he can’t know （29）the real use for the money is. The children can use part of his pocket money to buy something he especially wants. By the time he is eight, he is old enough that parents can take the child to the bank, （30）（open）a saving account for him, and encourage him to put a certain amount of his pocket money into the bank and watch his bank savings grow as entry by entry （存入）is made. He will be saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how （31）（manage）money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends. If a boy 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, he is a sorry child.

Newspapers provide us with great convenience. (34) the electric media like televisions and computers offers us another way to obtain information, their generation by electricity limits their uses indoors. On the other hand, newspapers may be carried (35) we plan to. In addition, their small size and light weight will surely spare our effort to take them.
__(36) advantage of newspapers lies in their non-pollution. It may be said without fear of
exaggeration that almost all those electronic media do harm to people’s health. (37) (take)
televisions for example: exposures to radiations (辐射), a kind of pollution, from them in the long
run will damage people’s health, (38) (especial) for pregnant women. The same case can also
be found in computers. Newspapers, by contrast, are made of natural materials. Therefore no
pollution will be given off nor are people subjected to the risk of illness when they read a
newspaper.
It is true that electronic media also has some superior (39) newspapers. They can give us
more direct information, not only by words but by sounds and pictures as well. But regarding
newspapers as a medium of the past is (40) apparent understanding, far from the truth. Section B
