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 families 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 (变化),skilled in some areas while poor in others.
What most parents fail to realize is that today"s children lack (缺少) 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 housewk .
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life . Cooking needs
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 (满意) 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 (好奇的) and arouse (唤起) 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.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 | | 2.Generally speaking ,children"s skills _____. | A. come from their parents
B. have nothing to do with their education
C. may be different
D. have something to do with their marks in the exams | | 3. The writer of the passage does not seem to be satisfied with _____. | A. the parents" ideas of educating their children
