When Father was chatting with the children happily, there was a knock on the door. The servant(仆人)Ruth opened the door and took two men to Father’s study. Father had a long talk with the two men. Then Mother went to the study too. After a long time, Father and the two men left together. Mother went to the children. Her face was pale (苍白的)and her eyes looked very big and shining. Her lips (嘴唇)were pale too.
“It’s bedtime,” she said. “Ruth will put you to bed.” “Where did Father go We have a lot to share with him,” said Phyllis. “Father went away because of some important work,” said Mother. “Darlings, go to sleep at once.”
Peter and Phyllis kissed (亲吻)her and went to sleep. Roberta, the eldest child, hugged Mother and whispered, “Mum, it wasn’t bad news, was it ” “Well, I can’t tell you anything tonight. Dear, go to bed now,” said Mother.
Roberta kissed Mother and went to the bedroom. Ruth brushed the girls’ hair and helped them to take off their clothes. When Ruth was leaving, she found Peter, still dressed, waiting on the stairs (楼梯). “What happened to Father, Ruth ” he asked. “Don’t ask me any questions. I won’t tell you any lies,” Ruth said. “You’ll know soon.”
After a while, the children all fell asleep. Mother came to their bedroom and kissed them. The kiss and tears(眼泪)woke Roberta up, but she said nothing. “Maybe Mother doesn’t want us to know she is crying,” she said to herself sadly.
The next morning, when the children came down to have breakfast, Mother already went out. “There’s something really bad happening,” said Peter, breaking his egg. “Last night, Ruth told me we would know soon.” “Did you ask her ” said Roberta. “Yes, I did!” said Peter in a loud voice. “You could go to bed without caring whether(是否)Mother was worried or not, but I couldn’t.”

With the development of the mobile Internet and mobile payment (支付), more and more children are not using paper money now.
A report shows 86% of people in China use mobile phones to pay. For students, they seldom touch (触碰)the real money in their daily life. They may only do it when they get lucky money during the Spring Festival. When they need to buy something, they usually don’t reach into their pockets for paper money. They use their digital(电子的)watches. As a result, many children ask their parents, “Why not keep money in the mobile phone or the watch ”
Hearing the question from their kids, a large number of parents start to worry. “Our children don’t have a sense of money. For them, money is just numbers. They have no idea where money comes from or how difficult one makes money. This may cause big problems when they grow up,” one mother said.
To solve the problem, a few primary schools in some cities begin to give special Maths classes to teach students about money. During the lessons, teachers show all the paper money and coins(硬币)to students and teach them the basic units, like yuan, jiao and fen. What’s more, the teachers ask the students to do simple calculations(计算): from jiao to yuan or from yuan to fen. Mr Wang, a head teacher, said, “Most children know little about money, so we need to help them get to know it. It’s a challenging job, but the classes will be helpful to them in the future.”

A. By playing a trick. B. By showing a fact.
C. By asking a question. D. By showing numbers.
