Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life.

Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, strange but expensive school things and bikes. They think that they have done everything they can for their dear little children. In return, they only want their little babies to give them good results in the examinations.

But why their little babies still can't understand them? Why? Does it mean that they still want more material(物质的) things? No, as a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family

mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident(自信的) in the outside world because we know that we have a

family.

Parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the child and his parents could understand each other more and more.

75. Through the first paragraph, we can see the writer of this article is .

A. a student B. a teacher C. a parent D. a worker

76. What do most parents think of their children according to the writer? A. They can't do well in their studies.

B. They always want good bikes and expensive things. C. They never grow up.

D. They don't know how to save money.

77. What do most children really want? A. A true family.

B. More material things. C. Pretty clothes.

D. Good results in examinations

According to the article, what should parents do?

78. The article is mainly about .

A. the fact that most children always do wrong things.

B. the fact that most parents want to buy everything for their children

C. what children really want

D. a warm home

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2, 000years ago, people still remember and respect

him for his contribution（贡献） to the education today.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from rich families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to. He had about 3, 000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”

He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled （困惑的）. All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”

Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.

People use his ideas to help themselves and society. At present, more than 100 Internet websites are telling people about him, and his ideas have gone far into East and South Asia.

In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it's a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.

The exact origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages,

when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest (神 父) on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the
