閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一詞。

The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even to England, the US or Australia, though this costs too much. Many also want their children to learn a musical instrument or ballet that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a large amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter.

However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills vary (變化); they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children don’t believe in themselves.

The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.

Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.

Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands 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 gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of pleasure and confidence.

An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and interested. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to repair it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but they teach them to think, and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.

Celebrating New Year’s Day is one of the oldest and most exciting traditions around the world. Since this festival marks the beginning of the year, New Year’s Day is thought of as a perfect time for a “clean start”. People in the world decide to act better in the year just beginning than the year just ended.

No day has ever been celebrated in so many different ways. All over the world, countries have their own special beliefs about what the New Year means to them.

In Scotland, the New Year is called Hogmanay. In the villages of Scotland, barrels of tar (瀝青) are set on fire. It represents that the old year is burned up and the new one is allowed to enter.

New Year’s Day is also the Festival of Saint Basil in Canada. Children leave their shoes by the fireside on New Year’s Day with the hope that Saint Basil, who is famous for his kindness, will come and fill their shoes with gifts.

The Jewish New Year is called Rosh Hashanah. It is an important time when Jews promise to do better in the future. Special services are held in the church, children are given new clothes and New Year bread is cooked to remind people of harvest time.

On New Year’s Day in Japan, everyone gets dressed in their new clothes and homes are decorated (裝飾) with bamboos—symbols of long life.

In European countries such as Germany, France and Belgium, families start the New Year by first attending church services. Afterwards, they visit friends and relatives. In France, boys and girls receive gifts of money on New Year’s Day.

Did you know?

Box-office monster “Zootopia” has been called the “most Easter egg-packed(彩蛋) movie ever made by Disney”. One of its Easter eggs comes to the species of the news anchor seen on the film’s ZNN channel. Depending on where in the world you’re watching “Zootopia”, the type of animals hosting may change.

Zootopia went a step further to make the different versions (版本). In the US, Canada, France, the news anchor is moose(麋鹿). In Brazil, it’s a jaguar(美洲虎). Australia and New Zealand get a koala; while Chinese audiences see a giant panda.

User Reviews

What can I say…. I’m a huge Disney fan. Maybe not like my friend over at Reviewing All 54 Disney Animated Films. And More!, the Disney cartoons have been a big part of my life. So, in a sense, the Disney animated features are a big deal to me.

Whether young or old, Zootopia’s story carries a powerful and thematic commentary message that’s highly valued and relative (especially in today’s world). As Judy Hopps says in the movie “Life’s a little bit messy. We all make mistakes. No matter what type of animal you are, change starts with you.” And I can’t agree more with that statement.

1. In the film, the animal hosting turns into a ___________ if you live in Sydney.

A. koala B. giant panda

C. moose D. jaguar

2.Who is one of the directors of the film?

A. Jared Bush B. Rich Moore

C. Idris Elba D. Ginnifer Goodwin

3.You can probably spot this article in a(n) ___________.

A. newspaper B. magazine

C. movie net D. Imax poster

4.Which of the following is TRUE based on the passage?

A.Zootopia is a romance story about a koala and a giant panda.

B.The film will be released on 4 March 2016 in English and French.

C.You can go to the nearby theater for different 3D versions of Zootopia.

D.Zootopia made different versions which are called “Easter egg-packed”.

5.Where can we infer (推斷) from the User Review?

A.She is a huge Disney fan.

B.She has reviewed 54 Disney animated films.

C.She agrees with the message that the film carries.

D.She does not agree with what Judy Hopps says.
