Dear Boris,
Thanks for your nice letter.
After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English a little better. It’s very different from what I learned at school! Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects (方言) are different too! Some of their accents (口音) are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions.
But it’s not the language that’s different and surprising. Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day. That’s quite wrong! I get rather mad now when I hear all the foolish words about typical (典型的) English food.
I had expected to see “London fog”. Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this “thick fog” had gone many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes. Now, people can’t see the fog. But the idea to speak about the weather was very helpful. The weather in London is really changeable.
On the other hand local (当地的)habits are different. People tell me what is typically British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland. Local habits and traditions are not the same as what we knew.
But what is common for all British is that they follow traditions. Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries. And people have always been proud of having ancient buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside.
I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters.
Love from Britain,
Pete
52. What does Pete feel about the English language?
A. At first it was difficult for him to understand people.
B. He can speak English better than others.
C. He can understand different dialects and accents.
D. People can’t understand his English.
53. What does Pete mean by the underlined sentence “I get rather mad now when I hear all the foolish words about typical (典型的) English food.” ?
A. Pete doesn’t like English food at all.
B. Pete is mad because he eat fish and chips every day.
C. Pete thinks English is a foolish language.
D. Pete thinks what people say about English food is not always true.
54. What do you know about Pete from the passage?
A. Pete is an English boy . B. Pete deosn’t like fish and chips.
C. Pete is studying abroad. D. Pete doesn’t like his life in Britain.
55. What is the main idea of the letter?
A. The weather in London is really changeable.
B. British people like to follow traditions.
C. What Pete has seen about England is quite different from what he had learned.
D. Typical habits in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland.

Chinese are very generous(慷慨的) 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 (芭蕾) 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(不合理的) money on education. Even poor parents will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is 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 fail to realize that today’s children lack(缺乏) self-respect and self-confidence.
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(缝纫) 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(好奇心) 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.
56. Parents in China, according to this passage, ____________.
A. are too strict with their children
B. are too rich to educate their children
C. are too poor to educate their children
D. have some problems in educating children correctly
57. What do most parents deosn’t realize at present?
A. Education is very important to children.
B. Today’s children lack sef-respect and self-confidence.
C. Today’s children lack of skills for tests.
D. Taking extra-courses is useful for children’s future.
58. 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
