　　第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）A

　　The cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 is about $ 160,140! That doesn't even touch college tuition. For those with kids, this figure might lead them thinking how much they could have banked. For others, that number might confirm the decision to remain childless.

　　But $ 160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into $ 8 >896. 66 a year, $ 741. 38 a month, or $171. 08 a week. That's a mere $24. 44 a day! Just over a dollar an hour.

　　Still, you might think the best financial advice says don't have children if you ever want to be "rich". It is not.

　　What do you get for your $ 160,140?

　　Naming rights.

　　Giggles under the covers every night.

　　More love than your heart can hold.

　　Kisses and hugs.

　　Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.

　　A hand to hold usually covered with jam.

　　A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites, and building sandeastles.

　　For $ 160,140, you never have to grow up! You get to finger-paint, carve pumpkins, play hide-and-seek, and never stop believing in Santa Claus. You have an excuse to keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh, watching cartoons , going to Disney movies, and wishing on stars.
