问题     It’s a simple calculus, kids and money: From birth until college graduation, children consume dollars like they’re chicken nuggets.
    For those of us who aren’t independently wealthy, that puts【C1】______pressure on the family pocketbook. The financial demands of raising a child require that money you【C2】______might use to prepare for retirement, or to save for a nicer house, a sportier car or a happier vacation, must be【C3】______for Lego sets and pediatrician visits and school uniforms and Christmas toys and a college savings【C4】______and a minivan and a trip to Disneyland...
    I’m not saying this to【C5】______kids. I have two of my own, and money is nothing in【C6】______to the happiness they bring me and my wife. Yet happiness does not negate the fact【C7】______the moment a child arrives—and, actually, months before the arrival— your role as an adult changes in dramatic,【C8】______ways.
    And so does your family’s financial life.
    Not only are you now on the【C9】______for tens of thousands of dollars in costs over the next two decades, you also have a new【C10】______to teach your children about money so that they grow into adults who are at【C11】______in the financial world and who have a healthy relationship with money. You, the parent, are the first and most【C12】______link in that learning process.
    【C13】______, the aim isn’t to mold children who only care about financial riches. It’s to raise children who grow into adults【C14】______are financially aware and who are comfortable【C15】______the various aspects of money— whether spending, saving, investing or giving back.
    Maybe your child does【C16】______financial riches. Maybe not. But the true【C17】______of your success in this endeavor is that your child, as an adult, never【C18】______to understand the basics of personal finance. That will【C19】______a far greater legacy than any【C20】______you might one day leave behind.
【C17】
选项 A、nature
B、measure
C、meaning
D、reason
答案B
解析 名词辨析题。上一段表明教给孩子理财知识的目的，而本段前两句指出教给孩子理财知识的结果不见得就能让孩子大富大贵，因此推断此处说明努力教育孩子能否成功的标准，因此答案为B)measure“衡量”。A)nature“本质”，C)meaning“意义”，D)reason“原因”，均不能准确体现句子要表达的意思。
