Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States and Australia. The

29、y 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

30、 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. Wha

31、t 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

32、 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 experienc

33、e. 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 p

34、lay 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 to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.59. Parent

38、being damaged. Rain forests are being quickly destroyed as well, and their survival is questionable. E.O. Wilson, a biologist at Harvard, called the depletion (枯竭) of rain forest areas “the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs”.Unlike some environmental issues, rain forest deple

39、tion has fortunately received significant public and media attention. Despite the opposition to the cutting down of rain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil chops down an area of forest the size of the state of Nebraska. In addition to the Amazons rain forests, many other forests are

40、being cut down as well. In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua-new Geinea, Malaysia, Burma, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forests are cut down every year. The United Nations says the

41、 figure is closer to 17 million acres. The World Wildlife Fund says every minute, 25 to 50 acres are cut or burned to the ground.The worlds growing population has been a primary reason of rain forest destruction. More people need land to live on and wood products to consume. Limiting population grow

46、ery year, and the reason for that. C. about 25- 50 million acres of rain forests are destroyed each year. D. the growing population is not the real cause of the environment problem.DThere is a definite possibility that the climate of the world may be changing. Some scientists imagine that this could

47、 even mean the beginning of another ice age. The effects of such a change in climate on the human population of the world would be surprising. Recent research suggests that the general warming trend of the past hundred years or so may be coming to an end. During the past ten years, meteorologists te

48、ll us the average temperature of the Earth has dropped about one degree Fahrenheit. This does not seem like much, but it could have effects on wind and rain patterns which influence the overall weather picture. If these patterns change a lot, it could mean that certain regions of the world may conti

49、nue to have long droughts while others will possibly suffer from widespread flooding.What regulates（调节）the climate is not exactly known. Meteorologists believe that clouds may be an important factor in regulating the amount of solar heat held by the Earth, which in turn determines the temperature of

50、 the planet. Another possibility is that mans industrial and agricultural methods may be affecting the natural weather patterns. However, the weather is not understood well enough for scientists to say for certain what is happening to the climate and what side effects this will actually have on the

The Changing ClimateD. Solar Heat E根据短文内容，从下面的AG选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。Gift Giving71. _There are many o

54、ccasions（场合）for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies; birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as ones first day of school or graduation from university,

55、 often require gift giving.72. _What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation（义务）.73._Gifts tighten

56、 personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special.” We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give present

57、s to say “Im sorry.” Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messagesoften very expressive ones.74. _People tend to talk about presents in a fairly l

58、oving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years, “I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,” the woman said, “because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were f

59、rom my mother, and the relationship weve had.” The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at here gifts in years to come.75. _Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit

60、 still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit
