(答案→)G
解析：钱很重要，所以家长应该让孩子理解钱的问题，最好是在孩子对钱感兴趣是告诉他钱的作用、用途，以及如何聪明地花钱等。
【小题1】考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据下一句when your child shows an interest可知G（教给孩子的钱的问题的最佳时间是当他表现出兴趣时。）符合语境。
【小题2】考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据上一行If he wants to have a toy…（如果他想要一个玩具，就把钱给他，让他把钱交给收银员。）可知F（在离开玩具商店后，跟孩子谈论一下钱是如何买到东西的。）符合语境。
【小题3】考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据下一行If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money（如果你对孩子花钱的要求必须说不，）可知D（告诉孩子为什么能或不能买某些东西。）符合语境。
【小题4】考查上下文的语境理解能力。本段内容是关于如何在不同的产品中做出明智的选择，所以A.（ 明智的选择。）符合语境。
【小题5】考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据上一行内容可知是关于让孩子选择购买的东西。可知C（允许孩子在它们之间进行选择。）符合语境。
