Chinese are very generous(慷慨的) when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children are very skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children are short of self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully step by step. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse(激發(fā)) his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.
1.. Most Chinese parents don’t realize __________.
A. how much the best education is worth
B. when children should be educated
C. what children really need in later life
D. why school tests don’t satisfy children
2.. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Fixing old machines is very important.
B. Interest is necessary for everything.
C. Broken things are useful for children.
D. Using hands helps improve thinking ability.
3.. The writer’s attitude(看法) to children’s education is that __________.
A. the cheaper an education is, the better it is
B. children today should learn different skills
C. practical skills are useful to children's growth
D. school education can’t meet parents’ expectation

Some students are talking about who’s a better singer, Andy Lau or Jacky Cheung？ | |
Jim | Some people say Jacky is the best Chinese singer. I don’t think so! Andy is the best. I went to his concert last year. It was so wonderful. I almost cried! OK, I did cry, but that’s because Andy is so handsome！ |
Li Tao | I don’t agree with Jim. Andy sounds like every other singer. His voice is nothing special. On the other hand, Jacky’s voice is different from others, and his songs are so romantic (浪漫的). |
Linda | I think they’re about the same. But Andy is a better actor. I’ve seen almost all of his movies. Remember the one where he was a pilot and his plane crashed (墜毀) near a farm? I love that movie! |
Zhang Fang | I also think Jacky is a better singer. I prefer his Cantonese (粵語) songs. Maybe they sound better because Cantonese is his first language. |
Liu Ying | I agree. Jacky’s Cantonese songs are better than his Mandarin (普通話) songs, though I still like all his songs! |

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。
It was early evening on September 14th. Glen James, a homeless man was passing by a store in Boston when he happened upon a black bag. To see whose the bag is, Glen opened it only to find that it was filled with money - $2,400 in cash and almost $40,000 in traveler’s checks, as well as, a passport and other papers.
While other people in similar situations would have been tempted (引誘), Glen who has been homeless since 2005, did not even think twice. He showed the bag to 
a police officer, and the police officer gave it back to a Chinese tourist who had reported it lost. What Glen did was reported by newspapers, all over the country.
While most people that read it felt surprised at the man’s honesty, 27-year-old Ethan Whittington thought Glen should get money for what he did. So he decided to set up a money collection website. He set a goal of $50,000, which he believed was reasonable because it was more than what Glen had discovered in the bag. The m
arketing manager from Virginia thought he would be lucky to raise a few hundred dollars. Instead, within just a day, the website had gone over the $50,000 goal, encouraging Ethan to set a higher goal of $250,000 so that he could help Glen buy a house and start a new life.
As of now, $113,000 has been raised. Ethan who has talked to Glen over the phone, plans to visit Boston soon and also help him manage the money wisely. Needless to say, the homeless man is surprised at what he is receiving for doing the right thing – Honesty, certainly pays off!

2.Who gave the bag back to the Chinese tourist?
3.What did Ethan decide to do after he read the news of Glen?
4.How much money has been raised by now?
