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. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will learn a musical instrument or ballet or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So the 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’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack (缺乏) 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 aren’t 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 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’s an enjoyable but difficult experiment. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually to 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 children to play with will make him curious (好奇) 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 aren’t merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist at a children's institution in
Tim wore a black raincoat that was 37 all the way up to his neck. His face was pale, and he stared at his feet while wringing （扭） his hands nervously. He had 38 his father as a baby, and had lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather and mother were killed in a car accident.
I looked at Tim. He was very 39 and depressed （in low spirits）. He refused to talk to me. The first two times we 40 , Tim only sat hunched up （蜷缩） in the chair without saying a word. As he was about to leave after the second visit, I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn't ___41 back, but he didn't look at me either.
"Come back next week, if you like,” I said. I 42 a bit. Then I said, "I know it hurts.”
He came, and I ____43____we play chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon―in 44 and without making any eye contact. It's not easy for me to 45 in chess, but I admit that I made sure Tim won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier, took the chessboard and pieces and set them up before I even got a（n） 46 to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my 47 . But why did he 48 look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his 49 with," I thought.
