Chinese are very generous 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 or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start 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’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack 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 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 demands 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 gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot 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 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. 21．Parents in China, according to this passage, _______.
A. are too strict with their children B. are too rich to educate their children
C. have some problems in educating their children correctly D. are too poor to educate their children
22．The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with ______.
- 3 -
A. the parents’ ideas of educating their children B. the education system C. children’s skills D. children’s hobbies
23．Doing some cooking at home helps children ______.
A. learn how to serve their parents B. learn how to become strong and fat
C. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future D. make their parents believe that they are clever
24．According to the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.
A. broken radios and television sets are useful B. one’s curiosity may be useful for his later life C. an engineer must fix many broken radios
D. a good student should spend much time repairing radios
B
In China, there are usually two reasons why people receive messages from friends and relatives from whom they haven’t heard for a while. The first is about New Year greetings, which are always welcome. The second reason is often less pleasant, however; people are increasingly contacting long lost friends, or even casual acquaintances, and urging them to cast online votes for their children or grandchildren in competitions.
The practice, which has been growing rapidly, has now reached the point where people are becoming tired and may even feel annoyed.
The results of a recent survey conducted by the Jinhua Evening News in East China’s Zhejiang Province show that 94 percent of 384 interviewees were once asked by friends or relatives to cast votes online for their children. The contests range from the cutest baby to dancing competitions. Most people receiving the messages haven’t heard from the sender for a long time and have never met the child involved.
Although the competitions may appear to be fun, some education professionals are concerned that they could have a negative effect on children.
Tang Sulan, a member of the CPPCC’s National Committee (全国政协)，proposed a ban on online competitions featuring children to prevent future psychological issues. She was also concerned that public disclosure of a child’s personal information and publication of photos cause a potential risk

to the child’s safety.
Li Hongyan, the mother of an l1-year-old girl and an 18-month-old boy in Beijing, said she has never urged others to vote for her children. Although on the surface the children are competing among themselves via their parents’ social networks, the competitions are also about parents seeking a “sense of victory” for themselves, she said. “It feels as though parents are using their babies as tools to win glory for themselves, rather than truly respecting their kids’ dignity and nature.” However, despite her dislike of the contests, she has twice voted for the babies of close friends because “it would be embarrassing to say no”. 25. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Dilemma: Vote or Not
B. TO Say No: An Embarrassing Experience C. Child’s Safety and Casting Votes on Line D. Receiving Messages: An Unhappy Experience
26. What does the underlined word “disclosure” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Reputation. B. Concern. C. Competition. D. Exposure. 27. What can be inferred from Li Hongyan’s words?
A. She urges people to vote for the babies of her close friends. B. She opposes the idea of parents seeking votes for children. C. Her children don’t want to join in those online competitions. D. She agrees to bring the children to their parents’ social networks
