Of all the lessons taught by the financial crisis, the most personal has been that Americans aren’t so good at money-management. We take out home loans we can’t afford. We run up sky-high credit card debt.We don’t save nearly enough for retirement.
In response,supporters of financial-literacy education are moving with renewed enthusiasm. School districts in states such as New Jersey and Illinois are adding money-management courses to their curriculums.The Treasury and Education departments are sending lesson plans to high schools and encouraging students to compete in the National Financial Capability Challenge that begins in March.
Students with top scores on that exam will receive certificates — but chances for long-term benefits are slim. As it turns out, there is little evidence that traditional efforts to boost financial know-how help students make better decisions outside the classroom. Even as the financial-literacy movement has gained steam over the past decade, scores have been falling on tests that measure how well students learn about things such as budgeting, credit cards, insurance and investments. A recent survey of college students conducted for the Jump Start Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy found that students who’d had a personal-finance or money-management course in highschool scored no better than those who hadn’t.
" We need to figure out how to do this the right way," says Lewis Mandell, a professor at the University of Washington who after 15 years of studying financial-literacy programs has come to the conclusion that current methods don’t work. A growing number of researchers and educators agree that a more radical approach is needed. They advocate starting financial education a lot earlier than high school, putting real money and spending decisions into kids’ hands and talking openly about the emotions and social influences tied to how we spend.
Other initiatives are tackling such real-world issues as the commercial and social pressures that affect purchasing decisions. Why exactly do you want those expensive brand-name shoes so badly? " It takes confidence to take a stand and to think differently," says Jeroo Billimoria, founder of Aflatoun, a nonprofit whose curriculum, used in more than 30 countries, aims to help kids get a leg up in their financial lives."This goes beyond money and savings. "
The financial-literacy education is intended to______.
选项
A、increase Americans’ awareness of the financial crisis
B、renew Americans’ enthusiasm about money-management
C、enable Americans to manage money wisely
D、help Americans to overcome the financial crisis
答案
C
解析
细节题。由financial-literacy education回到原文定位到第二段首句,该句以inresponse开始。这个词组的意思是“相应地",暗含因果关系,即financial-literacy education是应对上文的情况而生。因此真正答案在第一段。第一段中主要讲到从金融危机的教训可知,美国人不善于理财。换言之,financial-literacy education的目的就是教会美国人如何理财。故本题答案为C(让美国人能够明智地管理钱财)。
