Question

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

   76  . Not caring about the money, parents in China often send their children to the best schools or even abroad like England, the US 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.    77  .

Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others.    78  . Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time.    79  . 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.

An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with may 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.

   80  . And that is more important.

A．However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

B．Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children.

C．It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.

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

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

F.   These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, and to use his mind.

G.   What most parents fail to realize, though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
