Why does a large education nation like China have so few

world renowned scientists as the US? Educationists from China

and the US try to find out the answer to questions like this at a

forum on the basic education strategy.

The forum, held recently, was jointly organized by the

Education Development Research Center of the Ministry of

Education in China and the Postgraduate School of the University

of Pennsylvania in the US. It aims to find out similarities and

differences that exist between two countries in their educational

system.

While some educationists in China keep a doubtful eye to

the country's educational system in recent years, their American

counterparts give a positive answer to the basic education in

China, saying that it is still one of the best in the world.

An American educationist told reporters that basic education

in the US was criticized in recent years due to its political

tendency. On the contrary, Chinese government's stress on basic

education and qualified teachers has set a good example. At

primary and middle school, pupils in China did better in math

and science lessons than the US pupils. However, few grow to be

world "masters". Why? Educationists attributed this to China's

stress on examination rather than students' interest.

Deputy Director of the postgraduate school of Pennsylvania

University said American teachers encourage students to focus

on their strong points. In China,students are driven to study to

pass the entrance examination test and they do not pay much

attention to their own interest.

At the forum, director of the Education Development

Research Center said in the future, the research center

would make its middle and long-term basic education strategy

by taking some references from other countries including the US.

He also revealed that for a long time in the future, China would

make a breakthrough in setting the policy for quality education.

When a tornado hit a small town nearby,many families were

left homeless. After- ward, all the local newspapers carried stories

of the families who suffered the day, a picture

touched me. A young woman stood in front of a mobile home.

A young boy, seven or eight, stood at her side, eyes downcast.

Clutching at her skirt was a little girl who stared into the camera

with confusion and fear. The article below gave clothing sizes

closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach

my children to help those less fortunate than themselves.

I took the picture home, explaining their situation to my

seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old

Meghan. "We have so much, and these poor people now have

nothing," I said. "We'll share what we have with them. " I bought

three large boxes and placed them in the living room. Meghan

watched as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned

goods, food, soap, and other things. While I sorted through our

clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and

donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched

quietly as the boys piled up discarded toys and games."I'll help

you find something for the little girl," I said. The boys placed the

toys they had chosen into one of the boxes while I filled the third

box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her much-loved

doll, and hugged her tightly to her chest. She paused in front of

the box that held the toys. "Oh, honey," I said. "you don't have to

give Lucy. You love her so much. " Meghan nodded, eyes

glistening with held-back tears. "Lucy makes me happy, Mommy.

Maybe she'll make that little girl happy, too. " Swallowing hard, I

stared at Meghan for a long time, wondering how I could teach

the boys the lesson she had just taught me. I suddenly realized

generosity was giving what you cherished most.

I, who had wanted to teach, had been taught. The boys were

open-mouthed, as their sister placed her favorite doll in the box.

Without a word, Brad went to his room and came back with one

of his favorite action figures. A slow smile spread across Brett's

, I realized the boys had also recognized what

Meghan's gesture

meant. Holding back tears, I pulled three of them into my

arms. I removed my old jacket from the box and replaced it with

the new one that I had found on sale last week. I hoped the

young woman in the picture would love it as much as I did. 46.

Which word can be used to describe the toys and games that the

boys first put

into the boxes?

A. Unwanted

B. Second-handed

C. Valueless

D. Broken

47. Why were there held-back tears in Meghan's eyes?

A. She was going to say good-bye to her favorite doll.

B. She saw the poor children in the picture.

C. Her mother asked her to do something she didn't like.

D. She was forced to donate her Lucy.

48. In the last paragraph, the little boy Brett smiled

because______.

A. he was proud of his sister

B. he thought he did something right
