In China，family is everything．In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live，most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents．Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends．I teach many students a year，talking to them freely．

17．In Canada and the United States，there is a new group of children called"satellite kids"，who live in one place but whose parents live in another place．
Asians are immigrating （移民） to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before．Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West．In Asia，especially in China，Japan，and Korea，it is difficult to go to university．Students must first pass the strict national examination．However，in Canada and the United States，it is easy to go to university，and anyone who wants to go can go．As a result，Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university．
The problem is that when Asians arrive，they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East．Also，they find that they are very lonely，and that they miss their homes．For these two reasons，most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West．Therefore，these children become"satellite kids"，and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a"satellite kid"．
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the"satellite kid"problem．Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them，they are often absent from school．To be a"satellite kid"means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well．Also，it means to grow up lonely，because your parents are elsewhere．What these"satellite kids"will probably say to their parents is that it's better to have parents around than to have a university education
28．Some Asian parents send their kids abroad becauseC
A．they hope their children may easily find a job there
B．all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries
C．the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries
D．the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends
29．"Satellite kids"refer to Asian kidsD
A．without parents
B．speaking no English
C．with university education
D．living abroad alone
30．What is the main idea of the passage？C
A．Parents want better education for their kids
B．Parents feel lonely and miss their families
C．Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family
D．Canadians and Americans begin to notice the"satellite kids"problem．
