         People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest of his age. There are only a few men in all of
    his history who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric
    light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius(天才)."There
    is no such thing as genius," Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.
         But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered
    about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could
    usefully do with them.
         Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of thinking,
    especially if they don't think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment
    and pleasure.
         Edison could not understand why someone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think,
    he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had
    about life. "Work", he answered, "discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men
    happier," He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

           Chinese are very generous(大方的) in 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 and Australia.
    They also want their children to take extra-course activities such as musical instrument learning or ballet  
    classes, or other classes. They think these will give them a good future. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend much unreasonable(不 理智的 ) money on education. Even poor parents will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
                                                 
           However, most parents don't understand that the best early education they can give their children is
    usually very cheap.
           Parents can see that their children are very good in some areas while poor in others. Parents also
    can see some children are good at these skills and others do well in others. Most parents don't realize
    that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence(自信).
           The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study
    well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy
    and clever.
           Parents can achieve this by teaching 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 finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much
    satisfaction and lots 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 improve 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. And that is more important.
    1. What don't most parents realize today ?  
    A. Education is very important to children.
    B. Today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
    C. Today's children lack of skills for tests.
    D. Taking extra-courses is useful for children's future.
    2. Generally speaking, children's skills __________.
    A. come from their parents            
    B. have nothing to do with their education
    C. may be different from child to child  
    D. have much to do with their marks in the exams
    3. Doing some cooking at home helps children_________.
    A. learn how to help their parents    
    B. learn how to become strong and fat
    C. learn to work hard and be full of confidence  
    D. make their parents believe that they are clever
    4. The writer of this passage don't agree with_______.
    A. the parents' ideas of educating children    
    B. the country's education system
    C. the children's skills                    
    D. the children's hobbies
