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 childrens skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that todays 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. 56. Parents in China, according to this passage, _.A. are too strict with their children B. are too rich to educate their childrenC. have some problems in educating their children correctlyD. are too poor to educate their children57. Generally speaking, childrens skills _.A. come from their parents B. have nothing to do with their educationC. may be different D. have something to do with their marks in the exams58. The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with _.A. the parents ideas of educating their children B. the education system C. childrens skills D. childrens hobbies 59. Doing some cooking at home helps children _.A. learn how to serve their parents B. learn how to become strong and fatC. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the futureD. make their parents believe that they are clever60. According to the last paragraph we can conclude that _.A. broken radios and television sets are usefulB. ones curiosity may be useful for his later lifeC. an engineer must fix many broken radiosD. a good student should spend much time repairing radios BIt is a matter of common observation that although money income keeps going up over the years, we never seem to become richer. Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation: the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesnt matter. But it does .When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good moneystability（稳定）of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply simulates（刺激）our spending and discourages saving.61From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which_.A. everyones incomes rise B. money will hold its valueC. we can watch our money grow D. money constantly loses its value62In the writers view, if incomes and prices rise at the same rate, _.A. inflation maybe still be a problem B. we have nothing to worry aboutC. inflation is no longer a problem D. we will become richer and richer63Under inflation people are likely to _.A. go to the bank more often than usual B. save more money since their incomes riseC. spend money quickly rather than to save it D. keep money at home instead of going to banks64We can conclude according to the passage that _.A. the writer is a government official B. the writer is worried about inflationC. the writer encourages people to spend money D. the writer has become richer because of inflation65.

DFebruary has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines. On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentines Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didnt allow marriage. But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers secretly. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “From your Valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of historys most romantic characters. Nowadays, Valentines Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentines cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.71. On the 14th day, a boy will do the following things for his girlfriend but not _. A. take her out to dinner. B. buy her flowers and chocolates. C. write poems, sing to her or even spelling out her name with rose petals D. marry her.72. Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country? A.
