问题     If your child is asking for Ugg boots or a pricey hot toy for the holidays, it’s time for a teachable moment. Even if your kid has less lofty【C1】_____, the holidays are still a great time to give him some important【C2】_____lessons.
    "Parents want kids to have【C3】_____they want, but if they’re not teaching limit-setting, it’s doing them a【C4】_____disservice." says money coach Olivia Mellan. Financial literacy expert Susan Beacham says parents have to lead by【C5】_____. If they buy gifts for their kids that【C6】______ their own budgets, they’re only hurting their families when the bills【C7】_____financial hardship and stress in January.
    Money is a(n) 【C8】_____concept for young people. Studies have shown their brains don’t develop enough to deal with such concepts【C9】_____they’re in their early 20s, says Beacham, who【C10】_____financial education company Money Savvy Generation. That’s【C11】_____true when young people don’t pay their own【C12】_____or make spending decisions.
    Mellan recommends giving children allowances "as【C13】_____as they are old enough to make change." That money should be【C14】_____into " spending, saving, investing and charitable giving," she says. Beacham sells a piggy bank with sections【C15】_____each. It may not look good Christmas presents, 【C16】_____Mellan and Beacham say cash is a great gift. 【C17】_____with that allowance money, your kids could get the gifts of their【C18】_____—or might reconsider. Say your children are【C19】_____for $ 160 Ugg boots. Try giving them the money and let them see how【C20】_____it could go at the mall if they chose less expensive footwear.
【C16】
选项 A、or
B、but
C、since
D、although
答案B
解析 逻辑衔接题。本句意为“存钱罐看起来也许并不是一份好的圣诞节礼物， Mellan和Beacham说现金是非常好的礼物”。分析句子可知，两句之间存在转折关系，并且强调现金是一份很好的礼物，为下文阐述作铺垫，故but“但是”填入最合适。其他选项均不符合文意。
