【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia.【1】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. 【2】

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap and they should teach them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

【3】Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.【4】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 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 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 only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind.【5】

A. But is it correct?

B. And that is more important.

C. Cooking demands patience and time.

D. They also require their children to take a lot of tests.

E. They also want their children to take extra - course activities.

F. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

G. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.

One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he 【1】 (find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, “Go to the village and buy some salt, 【2】 pay a fair price for it: neither too much nor too little.”

His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, 【3】 not save a bit of money?”

“That would be a very 【4】 (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy 【5】 small village like ours,” Nick said.

Nick’s guests, 【6】 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt 【7】 (cheap) if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason why a man would sell salt at a lower price would be that he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect 【8】 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”

“But such a small thing couldn't 【9】 (possible) destroy a village.”

“In the beginning, there was only a very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always 【10】 (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”
