(答案→)A
解析：这篇短文主要描述了美国人从小就开始培养孩子的金钱观念，让他们认识金钱的价值，学会花钱的方式，以及做人的道理，培养孩子独立生活的能力。
【小题1】联系上下文，可知下文是举例一个例子，故选A，例如。
【小题2】联系下文描述，可知此处指的是花钱，故选C，钱。
【小题3】结合语境可知此处指的是钱能被用作什么用途，从句主语是动作对象，用被动语态，联系前文助动词can，可知选D，被用作。
【小题4】联系上文描述，可知此处指的是孩子大点后，故选C，更老的，更年长的。
【小题5】联系前文，可知此处指的是用孩子们自己的钱。Of引导的介词短语作定语一般放在被修饰词的后面，反身代词不能用作定语，故选A。他们自己的。
【小题6】联系下文，可知此处指的是和别人分享，故选B，其他人。
【小题7】see看见；look 看。不定式作宾语表示具体的将要进行的动作，结合语境可知父母很高兴看到孩子们分享他们的钱和帮助别人。故选B。
【小题8】短语辨析。A. On the way在路上；In this way用这种方法； In the way妨碍，挡道；By the way顺便说说。联系上文，可知用这种方法，孩子们学会了乐于助人。故选B。
【小题9】动词辨析。take 用于 it takes sb ... to do sth句型，仅指花费时间（three hours等），必须用it作形式主语，指代下文不定式内容；spend用于sb spend...on sth或者sb spend...in doing sth（in可以省略），spend的主语必须是人，可以指花费时间、也可以指花费金钱；cost用于 sth costs sb sth，主语必须是物，多指花费金钱，少数情况可指花费时间、气力，有时表示成本的消耗；pay的基本用法是：(1) pay (sb.) money for sth. 付钱（给某人）买……。 (2)pay for sth. 付……的钱。 (3)pay for sb. 替某人付钱。(4)pay sb. 付钱给某人。结合语境可知此处指的是制定一个花钱的计划。不定式的逻辑主语是孩子们，故选A。
【小题10】连词辨析。A. 和，并且；B.或者，否则；C. 但是；D. 虽然，尽管。句意：一些孩子们帮助别人洗车或者卖报纸来挣钱。故选B。
