When children are faced with problems, they may not be able to deal with them. Children need to learn how to solve problems. You can help them to learn it. The best way is to take the time to talk about problems as they happen. Of course, this is not easy to do. Problems have a way of bursting upon (突然發(fā)生) someone at the worst time. But even if the time is not the best, you should try to help.
There are many things you can do to help children learn problem-solving skills. One of the good ways is to find out what made the problem happen. This is a skill that children won’t learn without help. A child may knock over a glass of milk at the dinner table, but he may not realize that the glass was too close to the edge. You can show the child what the problem is. Then it can be solved.
The next step for children is to learn how to solve the problem alone. This step takes courage. Some of them are so afraid of being wrong that they cannot solve problems. You can help them by talking about some possible answers. You and the child can decide which answer is the best. Let the children try it out. Now the children will see that problems can be solved, and you can praise them for choosing a good answer.
Another step to problem-solving is to help children see the laws of cause and effect (因果規(guī)律). If a glass is knocked over, it will fall and break. If children might like to write on the wall, the pencil always leaves a mark. Soon the children will see the link(鏈接) between cause and effect, and then they are on the road to growth. When children see someone else knock over a glass, they now know that it will break. When they see writings on the wall, they can tell how it got there.
The ability to solve problems is not easy for children to learn. It is not easy for adults either. It takes patience for you, and it takes practice for the child. But problem-solving can be taught. All you need is time and effort.

You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.” or “I’m tired.”
One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.
To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan (日曬后的顏色). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.
I was also surprised by how hard-working US students are.
In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
78. According to the writer, textbook English is ________everyday English.

B. only on sports or music
C. only in working for the public ????
D. on studies, sports or music and public work

Wang Fei, a Chinese student, and Mary, an American student studying Chinese in China, were in a supermarket. They saw a young man ??85 ??down the stairs. In his hurry, he missed the last two steps and fell onto the ground. He tried to stand up ??86 ??people around him laughed. Luckily, he seemed to be OK.
Mary found Wang Fei smiling a little and was not happy ??87 ??it. “Tell me, Wang Fei, how could people laugh when someone fell like that? Why didn’t they go up and ask him if he was hurt?”
Wang Fei said, “Because they knew he wasn’t hurt too ??88 ?.”
“But I still don’t understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture, people would never laugh!”
This is an example. The Chinese and the western will think and act differently when seeing ??89 ??a thing. Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling. Very often the person who is in embarrassing situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it.???90 ?, if someone gets hurt seriously, it will not be a laughing matter any more. People will help him or her instead.
But, in that case, a westerner will rush over and help the person get up. If a westerner falls, he or she, like a Chinese person, may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt. If two close friends are walking together, and one falls ??91 ??clearly isn’t hurt, a common joke is to say “Have a nice trip.”
So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures.

E. Answer the questions (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題)：（14分）
Each year, many Chinese people go abroad because of all kinds of reasons. They are becoming younger and younger year by year. Even some Chinese parents send their children to foreign countries when they are only in a middle school. They think their children can get a wider view, less academic(學(xué)業(yè))competition and family honour. But life can be hard for young people there. At first, they have to face the culture differences and language problems. However, these are not always the most difficult things to overcome. To most children, controlling(管理)themselves well is a big challenge when they study alone abroad.
Xu Yang, a 15-year-old student from Guangdong Province studies in a high school in Toronto, Canada. To his surprise, his teachers there seldom push students to study hard. And usually there isn’t too much homework. Students have lots of free time to do some activities. Some of his friends spend their whole year’s money in the first two months of the new term. So they have to ask their parents for some more money.
On one hand, studying abroad can help students learn foreign language quickly and open up their eyes, but on the other hand, some children may feel lonely, become bad, lose themselves, etc. Many problems may happen to them. These are different from their original (最初的) thoughts. So parents should think them over their children go abroad.

??????________________________________________ ?
100. Why do Chinese parents send their children abroad?
????????________________________________________
