C
Tykoon is an online website that allows you to
teach your child financial
principles through
allowances, assignment of tasks and daily chores.
As the parent,
you can assign a cash value to
the things you want your child to do. Then, your
child
can go in, accept the task and add to
their wish list of what they would like to
purchase with the money that they earn.
Let’s start with the parent side of things.
The parent must be the one to set up
the
account. You simply enter your information and
your child’s information to
get started. You
are then able to assign allowance amounts to your
child.
Then you can add tasks for your child
to accept and link them to either their
weekly
allowance or a pre-determined amount. Your child
is then able to accept or
decline their tasks.
They can see how much each task earns, how often
they need to
do it and what they will get if
they do! They can add items that they are working
toward earning and can even earn non-cash
incentives such as extra TV time or
staying up
late!
Tykoon is a great way to start teaching
your child about responsibility and
financial
principles in fun and safe way. Through the
creation of their own profile
and the ability
to accept or decline tasks, they are taught the
skills that they will
need later in life when
they are managing their own budgets! So, head over
and
sign up for a free account today and watch
your child get excited about doing their
chores!
And right now, as a special
reward, if you share Tykoon with your friends and
have five friends sign up and stay active for
more than a month, you’ll earn a ＄25
.

gift card! So get your child

start teaching all our kids about the
important financial principles today!

The oldest and most common source(来源)
of renewable energy known to man,
biomass is
one of the most important forms of energy
production in the United
States and elsewhere.

everywhere

agricultural and city-life wastes ----biomass
promises
to play a continuing role in
providing power and heat for millions of people
around
.

the world.
According to the
Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a
kind of
renewable energy source that produces
no carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because the
energy it
contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is
burned, it gives off the
sun’s energy. In this
way, biomass serves as a sort of natural
battery(电池) for
storing the sun’s energy. As
long as biomass is produced continuously ----with
only as much grown as is used--- the “battery”
lasts forever.
According to the Energy
Information Administration, biomass has been one
of
the leading renewable energy sources in the
United States for several years running
through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9
percent of the nation’s total
electricity
supply. In 2008----although the numbers aren’t all
in yet----wind power
probably took over first
place because of the rapid development of wind
farms
across the country.
Producing power
from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of
carbon
dioxide each year. Some homeowners also
try to make their own heat by using
biomass
materials. Such practice may save homeowner’s
money, but it also
produces a lot of
pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power
plants to use it.
49. Why is biomass
considered as “a sort of natural battery”?
A.
It burns merely plant matter. B. It keeps
producing electricity.
C. It stores the energy
from the sun. D. It produces zero carbon dioxide.
50. We learn from the text that in 2008
______.
A. Wind power would be the leader of
renewable energy.
.
.
B.
there was a rapid growth of electricity production
C. biomass might become the main energy source
D. 0.5~0.9 of power supply came from biomass
51. Why does the author encourage power plants
to use biomass?
A. To prevent the waste of
energy. B. To increase production safety.
C.
To reduce pollution. D. To save money.
52. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A research plan. B. A science magazine
C. A book review. D.A business report.
