第三节 摘录信息 （共5小题， 10 分）
阅读下列短文，根据阅读内容在56-60 的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。每空不超过3个单词。
The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad. They also want their children to take after-school activities. They believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.
However, most parents don’t know that the best education is usually very cheap. Parents can only see that their children’s skills change, skilled in some areas while poor in others. But they don’t realize that today’s children lack(缺少) self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents only teach them on how to take tests, but not teach them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
So parents can achieve this by teaching their children 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 needs patience and time. 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 confidence.
Some old machines, such as broken radio or a TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. 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. And that is more important.

Some students believe that if one is admitted into a key university , he will be the happiest man in the world. 3. Some think that happiness means achieving success in something, such as getting the first place in the exams or creating a wonderful play at the Art Festival. 4.Others believe that happiness is being surrounded by a group of true friends. 5.Still others think that happiness means growing up quickly and being independent
In my opinion, happiness is a subjective feeling.6. Being healthy is happiness. Happiness is also connected with the process of getting success. 7.Getting more new knowledge every day makes me happy. Actually I find happiness in helping people in need. I feel happy owing to enjoying colourful school life. In a word, so long as you are positive, happiness is always around you.
