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 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 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 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 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 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 merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.63. Parents in China, according to this passage, _.A. are too strict with their childrenB. are too rich to educate their childrenC. have some problems in educating their children correctlyD. are too poor to educate their children64. Generally speaking, what most parents fail to realize is _.A. that their children need to take extra-course activitiesB. that the more expensive an education is, the better it isC. that todays children lack self-respect and self-confidenceD. that their children first need to be a good cook if they want to get good marks in the exams65.

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 clever67. According to the last paragraph we can conclude that_.A. broken radios and television sets are useful B. ones 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 radiosDAnt farm lessonsI learned about life from an ant（蚂蚁）farm. When I was 7 years old, my family created one for me. First, we put clean sand (沙子)in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arrive. Shortly after the ants were dropped into the glass structure（结构），they got to work making tunnels (隧道). I was surprised that each one knew just what to do. After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs. With my moms help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants.One day a tragedy（悲剧) struck the ant farm. The pages of my diary, still wrinkled（起皱） where tear drops fell, indicate the depth of the tragedy. I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped（翻倒）it over, caving（坍塌）in all the tunnels. Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die.I was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farmMy mother said that the ants were dying of “frustration”. They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed (毁坏). Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more. 0ver the years, I came to realize how much the ants benefited from their teamwork. Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work. Day in and day out, each labored（劳动）at their task, The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance (坚持不懈）are two key ingredients to success.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity（不幸）is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment. Unlike the ants, we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have to build another.Giving up, I say, is not a choice.68. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A. The author and her mother guided t
