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.56. 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 children57. Generally speaking, childrens skills _.A.come from their parentsB.have nothing to do with their educationC.may be different from child to childD.have something to do with their marks in the exams58. The writer of this passage does not seem to be satisfied with_.A. the parents ideas of educating their childrenB. the education systemC. childrens skillsD. childrens hobbies59. Doing some cooking at home helps children_.A. learn how to serve their parentsB. learn how to become strong and fatC. benefit from it and prepare themselves for the future D. make their parents believe that they are cleverBDuring the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and she is likely to take paid work until sixty.This important change in womens life has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen; many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.60.We are told that in a typical family in about 1900_.A.few children died before they were fiveB.seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC.the youngest child would be fifteenD.four or five children died when they were five61.One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she _.A.is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB.does not like children herselfC.neednt worry about food for her childrenD.can be free from family duties when she reaches sixty62.Many girls are now likely to _.A.give up their jobs after they are marriedB.leave school as soon as they canC.marry so that they can get a jobD.continue working until they are going to have a baby63.According to the passage, it is now quite common for women to_.A.stay at home after leaving schoolB.marry men younger than themselvesC.start working again later in lifeD.marry while still at schoolCYou either have it, or you dont- a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree- something easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.Simplify the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you will never get lost again!64. Scientists believe that _.A. some babies are born with a sense of directionB. people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC. people never lose their sense of directionD. everybody has a sense of direction from birth65. What is true of 7-year-old children according to the passage?A.They never have a sense of direction without maps.B.They should never be allowed out alone if they lack(缺乏) a sense of direction.C.They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.D.They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.66. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should _.A. tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolenB. draw a map of the route to help remember where it isC. avoid taking the same route when you come back to itD. remember something easily recognizable on the route67. According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to _.A. ask policemen for directionsB. use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourselfC. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairsD. count the number of landmarks that you seeDHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?Many people are afraid to assert（维护，坚持） themselves. Dr. Robert Albert, author of STAND UP, SPEAK OUT and TALK BACK, thinks it is because their self-respect is low. “Theres always a superior around- a parent, a teacher, a boss who knows better.” But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves.They offer assertiveness training courses, A. T. for short. In the A. T. course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A. T. course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A. T. uses an even stronger motive to share the need. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If your face is more important than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. However, once you get to feel good about yourself, you can learn to speak out. 68. The problem the writer talks about is that _.A. some people buy things they dont wantB. some people are afraid to speak up for their rightsC. there are too many superiorsD. some people dont think enough of themselves69. The cause of the problem talked about in the text is that _.A. some people have a low self-respectB. there is alwa
