Westerners think that the education ways in many Chinese families are hard to understand. Here are some examples.
Many children in China are looked after by their grandparents because their parents are busy. 1.But children need to stay and communicate with their parents.
2.父母们不注意孩子们的权利(rights)。 Parents should knock at the door before they go into the room of their children. 3.They shouldn’t move their children’s things before they agree. Children who are not respected also do not know how to respect others.
4.Parents often compare their children with others. Most Chinese parents want their children to be successful, because it can save the parents’ face. Parents often say “You see somebody else is studying hard, what good grades they have, and what prizes they get.” This is the worst thing. It will only bring the children much harm and pain.
Many children are made to do what their parents expect, though they do not like it. For example, parents ask their children to learn to play the piano or go abroad. It should be decided by children themselves.
5.学习越努力,他们就会越好。 Many parents think school performance is everything. In fact, the integrated ability is so important that it will affect children all their lives.
I teach at a college, 17 miles away from where I live. One day a few weeks ago, I drove those 17 miles to school. I exited the highway and turned onto the College Road. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then, my car broke down. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t turn over. So I took my books, and hurried down the road to the college.
I managed to arrive at the college on time. Another teacher was surprised to see me walk to school and asked, “What happened to your car?”
“My car broke down on the way, but I’m here on time.” I replied, smiling. “This is my lucky day.”
“Your car broke down, and today is your lucky day?” she was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“I live 17 miles from here,” I replied. “My car could have broke down anywhere along the highway. It didn’t. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the highway, within walking distance of here. So I’m still able to teach my class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient way.”
That teacher’s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled and asked, “Why do you always seem to be so cheerful?”
“Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day,” I said. “I choose to be cheerful.”

A road is a bridge between two places. The Silk Road has been a bridge between East and West for more than 2,000 years.
But do you know the Silk Road is not a single route(路线)?
It is a series of trade and cultural transmission (传送) routes. It began during the Western Han Dynasty. The trade route starts from the city of Xi’an in Shaanxi province and ends in Eastern Europe, near today’s Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. The Silk Road was about 6,500 kilometers long. It went across one-fourth of the planet.
The Silk Road got its name because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Besides silk, jade, ceramics and iron went west to Rome. From the west came glass, gems, and food like carrots and sesame.
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. Besides trade, knowledge about science, arts and literature, as well as crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Roads. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.
Today, places along the Silk Road are great travel destinations, such as the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an and Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) in Dunhuang, Gansu. Now, beginning in August, a new train line, the New Orient Express, runs from Beijing across the Silk Road.
