【题目】Almost all Chinese parents hope their kids can grow into successful people, so they make their kids learn all kinds of subjects after school. Though some kids are very young, they still spend much time doing their homework and taking part in after-class activities. They nearly have no time to do sports and housework or anything else.

Each year, 80 percent of parents spend at least 6,000 yuan on different classes for their kids. For example, young kids have to learn English, swimming, painting and so on to follow their parents’ wishes. Most of the parents think that early learning is good for kids. Most kids who go to after-class activities are under 6 years old.

The famous educator Lisa Houghton says, “Although learning different kinds of subjects is important to kids, it’s more important to make them have a happy childhood. Parents should spend more time having fun with their kids, not just making them stay in the classrooms.”

The Diary of a Young Girl was written by a girl named Anne Frank. It is a true experience of a teenager in wartime (World War II, 1939—1945) and it has also become a symbol of the victory of the human spirit.

Here's one of Anne's diaries.

Friday, 10 September, 1943

Dear Kitty,

Every time I write to you something special seems to have happened, but they are more often unpleasant than pleasant things. However, now there is something_wonderful going on. Last Wednesday evening, 8 September, we sat around listening to the seven o'clock news and the first thing we heard was: “Here follows the best news of the whole war. Italy has capitulated(投降)!” Italy's unconditiona surrender(投降)! The Dutch programme

(续表)

from England began at quarter past I had just finished writing the chronicle of the day when the wonderful news of Italy's capitulation came in. I can tell you that I have never deposited(放下) my notes in the wastepaper basket with such joy!” “God Save the King,” the American national anthem(国歌), and the “Internationale” were played. As always, the Dutch program was uplifting4, but not too optimistic(乐观的).

Still we have troubles, too. It's about Mr. Koophuis. As you know, we are all very fond of him, he is always cheerful and amazingly brave, although he is never well, has a lot of pain, and is not allowed to eat much or do much walking. “When Mr. Koophuis enters, the sun begins to shine,” Mummy said just recently, and she is quite right. Now he has had to go into the hospital for a very unpleasant abdominal operation and will have to stay there for at least four weeks. You really ought to have seen how he said goodbye to us just as usual—he might have simply been going out to do a bit of shopping.

Yours,

Anne
