others. it seems that, the purpose to earn money is not to enjoy life, 42 for their following generations sons and daughters and even grandchildren. chinese people prefer to save money 43 emergency, such as illness. although chinese people with 44 in the united states dont need to worry about their own social welfare and health insurance, they work still very hard, as they hope that they can 45

states elementary schools, you can see that those who 50 the best, with more pocket money are chinese students. in contrast, american children dress very simply, with just a little pocket money.51 chinese, americans believe in living for themselves. they do everything for their own. 52, they earn money to enjoy a 53 life, and pursue a higher quality of life. as for their own parents or children, they think that parents have their own pension and social welfare, and children should live a(n) 54 life when they are 18 years old. so they could boldly spend money on themselves. 55, americans save little money. in the street, it is easy for chinese to take out 300-400 dollars, but it is hard to say for americans.【小題1】.a. running b. driving c. going d. walking【小題2】.a. boring b.

salopek looking back upon the childhoodbeducation is another area where the presence of arts and crafts is more than welcome. if children realize the importance of art and creativity from a young age, they can grow up to be more confident, more creative, and definitely more mature. schools are the breeding（孕育）grounds for future painters and movie makers, and these arts should be encouraged wholesomely in such an environment.sadly, many parents do not understand why art is important for children, and subconsciously（潛意識地）force them to follow career paths that are common and conformist（墨守成規(guī)的）in nature. this is fair enough in its own way, because the world does need some standard blue collar and white collar jobs to continue its existence; but this is a choice that children should be allowed to make for themselves. the doors to creativity and expression must not be shut in their faces, even if it comes at a cost of making more money.to put it more scientifically, here are some benefits of kids art activities that give a suitable answer to the question “why is art important in schools?”1.exposure to art, music and drawings at an early age improves the amount of brain activity in children.2.it increases the span of knowledge in the minds of children, thus making them sharper and more educated.3.it builds up the levels of self-confidence, self-esteem（自尊）, motivation, cooperation and communication in children.4.it helps children understand other peoples opinions and points of view as well.5.it helps them sharpen their problem-solving skills, decision-making and gives them the possibility of really exploring their imaginations.【小題1】.according to the passage, it is generally accepted that _. a.art plays a very important role in education of children b.children are expected to be blue-collar or white-collar workers c.schools should encourage children to learn arts and crafts d.children should be allowed to

c.children should be encouraged to learn art to develop their creativity d.art activities can help children solve all the problems they meet with【小題3】.what can be inferred from the passage? a.arts and crafts lessons are very popular in schools. b.art is not paid enough attention to in schools now. c.art activities improve the amount of brain activity. d.art education builds up the levels of
