“Daddy,how much money do you make an hour?”

“Oh,”the little boy replied,with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said,“Daddy,could you lend me $10?”

Big Head Son and Small Head Dad was inspired by the author's own family."My son really has a big head," Zheng Chunhua said."When my son was little, I never bought T-shirts or hats for him, as they always didn't fit him."
Zheng has two children, her son is almost 30 years old now, and her little daughter, who is a teenager."My daughter has been jealous(嫉妒)of her brother for many years, as I have written many stories about him, but none about her yet," Zheng said, and this is the reason leading to her creation of the new book.

Quiet classes, endless exams and long hours at school…This might sound like the pressure most Chinese high school students face.But a group of 50 Grade 9 students from Bohunt School in Hampshire, UK, experienced it for a month.Five teachers were sent there to teach in their Chinese style.Things don’t go as well as they planned at first.When they gave lessons, students were chatting, eating…And the British students found these classes boring.“It’s very hard to say which education system is better.But I think we should learn from each other,” said one Chinese teacher Li Aiyun.
Though the education system is so different between Britain and China.We agree that getting education is the most important part in a person’s life.It is true that people with better education have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t.It seems the aim of education is to make people get jobs.But many people don’t agree with that.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for making a living.This was probably the earliest reason of education.In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school.For example they don’t need to learn subjects like history and geography.It is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man.It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities.After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human.Educated people will be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.Which of the following is NOT true according to paragraph one ?
A.Five Chinese teachers went to Britain to experience teaching.
B.British education is much better than Chinese education.
C.Some students from Bohunt School were not interested in Chinese teaching style.People with little education usually _____________.
A.spend a long time in school
B.have fewer chances to get a good job
C.have a better lifeThe earliest reason of education was probably to __________.
A.develop a person’s creative thinking
B.teach a man to write and read
C.make people get a way of livingThe underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means _______ in Chinese.
A.圆满的 B.全面的 C.公平的The passage mainly tells us that _____________.
A.education should make a man improve
B.all subjects are so important for a way of living
C.people can get education for a living in a short time
Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”.People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.However, in other countries dogs without owners caring for them lead a different kind of life.The expression “to lead a dog’s life” describes a person who leads an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a “dog-eat-dog” world.This means many people are competing for the same things, such as jobs.They say that to be successful, a person has to “work like a dog”.This means they have to work very, very hard.Such hard work can make people “dog-tired”.And the situation would be even worse if they became “sick as a dog”.
Still, people say “every dog has its day”.This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.To be successful, people often have to learn new skills.Yet, some people say that “you can never teach an old dog new tricks”.They believe that old people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.“The dog days of summer” are the hottest days of a year.A rainstorm may cool the weather.But we do not want it to rain too hard.We do not want it “to rain cats and dogs”.
