BMy 11-year-old daughter has been awarded an academic scholarship to a private school. Its only a small discount, but the scholarship means shell skip the w

19、aiting list - provided my husband and I can cover $20,000 a year. Should we pay the private school fees, or choose free education instead?I always assumed my children would go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is wealthy, but because I believe that the best education is private.

20、 It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school. Theyll go to a private high school, I told myself. Yet here we are. My eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will struggle to afford private school. If so

21、, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a solid income, but thats not quite how it turned out.The guilt and expectations are mine alone.Im terrified that my daughters potential will be wasted at the public school.

22、re hours will crush(压垮)me.During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want to the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too.

23、s a terrible strain on a family. I point out that not even the privilege of private school will protect my children from disappointment or struggle. And finally, its decided.

24、Im content. More than my fancy private school education, its my family that shaped me.

The lessons from my childhood home, however, have proved impossible

28、 not as good as public school education.D.

29、here. Sounds unusual, doesnt it? But its not that unrealistic, with the development of Chinas high-speed railway system. And thats not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe. China is negotiating to extend its

30、own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore. China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbe

31、kistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.If Chinas plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days. The new system would still follow Chinas high-speed

32、 railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes. Chinas high-speed train, the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the Worlds fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours. Of course, there are some tec

33、hnical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge(轨距), maintenance of railway tracks. So, its important to pay attention to every detail. But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of Yuan on domestic ra

34、ilway expansion. China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development. Itll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportu

35、nities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries. For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop Chinas far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, m

36、illions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And theyll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries. 28.
