In Cairo, formal education is very important. There are twelve years of formal education in Egypt, and public schools are free, though the government does not have enough money. Many families can afford to send their children to private schools. Toward the end of high school, children planning to go to college should take an exam required. The results of that exam determine which college each student will attend and also which fields of study are open to that student. Top students can attend the American University in Cairo, which teaches its course in English. Other universities in the Cairo area include Cairo University, with over 30,000 students, Ain Shams University and Al–Azhar University. Many Children do not complete school or go on to college but learn a trade or apprenticeship in business instead.

Education comes from the family—this is where children learn about social values. The family is very important in Egyptian society. Though modern families are adopting the idea of the “nuclear family” common in the West, the traditional Egyptian family unit consists of parents, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws and all sorts of people. Even though the modern family unit tends to be smaller, families usually live close together and visit each other often.

Unlike in the West, children usually live with their parents until they get married, even through college. It is very rare that children move out and establish their independence before they get married. Usually, this only happens if the child goes abroad to save money before getting married. Many young Egyptian men work for a few years in the rich countries of the Persian Gulf, where wages are much higher than they are in Egypt, and this allows them to have a better start when they return to Egypt and get married.

1.If Egyptian children graduate from high school, _______.

A. some of them will decide not to attend university

B. all of them will take an exam for entering collage

C. some of them want to attend university in America

D. many of them can’t afford their higher education

2.If you are an excellent student, you will _______.

A. be sent to American universities for study

B. be admitted to Cairo University

C. take class taught in English in Cairo

D. get a high–paid job in the future

3.Where do the Egyptian children learn about social values?

A. Egyptian society. B. The family.

C. The West. D. All sorts of people.

4.In Egypt some young people go to the Persian Gulf because they_______.

A. need to gain rich experience there

On a hot summer day, there are few things that are more wonderful than a nice cool pool.

1. And it is completely relaxing. Of course, if you have children, there are certain measures you should take to keep them safe, whether you have a pool in your backyard or you are going to a public pool.

People should never swim by themselves. Actually it only takes a second for people to become injured and drown(溺水). 2.This is especially true for young children.

Splashing(玩水) is fun, but don’t take it too far. 3.Kids love to go after one another through the water and to splash and jump around. But it is important to teach children not to jump on top of one another and to watch their surroundings in the water, so that they do not accidentally knock into others.

If you have a pool, you must have a locking gate around your pool. 4. Keep the gate knocked at all times, even when you are in the pool.

Know the way out. 5.  Make sure that they know where all ladders are and how to enter and get out of the pool properly. Although your children may be able to lift themselves out of the pool using the side, that is not the safest way to go.

A.Kids should be taken good care of when they are swimming in the pool.
