III. 完形填空（共15分，每小題1分）

During college, I took a history class to fulfill a requirement.

The professor was a   32   fellow with red hair. He would walk   33   into the room wearing his winter coat, once not even   34   the hat during the lecture. He could not feel free in class and controlled the   35  just by looking through his glasses at his students.

So I  36   a little game for myself. I would try to find something in his lecture to ask him an intelligent question about,??????   37   me to pay attention. He was obviously pleased to have a question to answer. In fact, his answers were always   38   .

I continued to do this every day and found myself actually enjoying the material. The professor seemed to become more   39   and some of the other students even   40  from time to time. My little game had saved me from being bored, as it was designed to do. And, I learned quite a bit about ancient world history. In spite of his strange   41  , he was indeed quite an expert in his field.

On the last day of the class we gathered our   42   and headed for the door. The shy, red-haired professor stepped directly in front of me,   43   I reached the door, and put his hand out. He said, “I want to thank you for making my classes so interesting,” as he shook my hand warmly and   44   for the first time. I was so   45  . To me, it had been a pleasant way to pass the time. I had no idea that all of my questions asked in class had any effect on him or the others at all.

Each of us, through the things we say and do, and the kindness we can freely   46,   can have a great effect not just on our own experiences, but on those of others.

   Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．

   The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration．Some children get a weekly allowance．Others get a monthly allowance．

   In any case, parents should make clear what，if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money．At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．

   The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving．Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics．Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home．These jobs are a normal part of family life．

    Paying children to do extra work around the house，however，can be useful．It can even provide an understanding of how a business works．

    Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want．Or they can save it.

    Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice．You have to cut costs and plan for the future．Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing．Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.

A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.

    Compouding works by paying interest on interest．So，for example，one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second years，the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents，and so on. That may not seem like a lot．But over time it adds up．
